Happy New Year from The Institute of Contemporary Panda Satire!
You say you want a resolution, well, you know, it is hard to change a bear….
Are you one of the resolution people?
Bob still likes to get out in the field once in a while.
…Or are you more the polar bear plunge type?
Be the Bear

See you on Sunday with a brand new ‘toon, when Pinky takes on the new zoo opening times!!!!!!!!
Could it really be true? Could we be starting the countdown to the new year already?
Well, yes we could. In some ways the year flew by, and in other ways it was excruciatingly long. We have a new panda cub in Washington DC, twins in Toronto, and now the faintest glimmer of the possibility of pandas in the Pandacific Northwest. Huzzah!
And now, for the last new cartoon of the new year, I offer this, as my wish for the new year, probably guaranteed to delight and annoy, in equal measure. Feel free to tell me what you think in the comments, but I won’t post anything really mean or abusive. Other than that, have at it!
Consider this my Werld Peez Pandifesto
No fairs unka bob, indeed!
Well, why the heck not?
Isn’t that just the cutest thing?
Vote for Pinky. Do YOU want to explain why you didn’t?
Hey! Why NOT vote for Bob? Peace, prosperity, and buy stuff with pandas!
Be the Bear,
Bob T. Panda
Have yourself a pandy little Christmas….
Babette at the ice skating rink in Rockefeller center a few years ago with her good friend Frances A.
A Merry Christmas to you all! Thank you for stopping by and being the bears, thank you for buying my books and stuff with pandas on it, thank you for thinking I’m funny, and telling me when you think I’m not. (Not that I pay any attention to that, but I still appreciate hearing that I’ve seriously annoyed you!)
The world has gotten smaller and farther apart all at the same time. It turns out that our friends we make here in cyberland, are just as important to us as our friends in the real world. Sometimes we only find that out when we lose one, and then it is too late. My holiday wish is that more people choose hope, peace, and black and white bears over hating and killing. Oh, and that there should be more cuppycakes that don’t make us..um..more pandaesque, but still taste really good.
Which reminds me…
FIIIIIVE cuppycakes! ( Sing this one REALLY LOUD!!!!!!)
whew!
And because I’ve been very very very (mostly) good, can we please have pandas move to Washington State?
I hope you get to spend today (and every day, actually) with people you love, eating cake. Hey! bears do not live by bamboo alone!
Be the Bear,
Bob T Panda
Fa-la-la-la-la-la! It’s time for The Twelve Days of Crispmoss!
Everybody sing!
Meanwhile pandas have been sneaking around the internet, getting into all sorts of things! Firstly, they made a visit to Cordelia’s Mom, Still, and talked about their newest offering, The Panda Chronicles Coloring Book. Then, in the hopes it would inspire us to get back to work on The Panda Chronicles Cuppycake Cookbook: Favorite recipes of the Panda Kindergarten, I submitted the first recipe to the fabulous website, They Draw & Cook. Appropriately, It is Princess Pinky’s Cuppycake recipe! You can find it via this link and also in the “recently added recipes” section. I’ve been following this website for several hearts, because:
1. food
2. art
3. seriously cool people.
I hope you’ll check them out.
Meanwhile, here are a few other ‘toons to get your week off to a good start.
I am such a dork.
I’m not a doctor, but I play one on television.
Hope you are having a happy holiday season…um…what do you mean I have to work until Friday….Sigh…
Be the Bear!
Bob T. Panda!
I thought that for today, I would dig into the deepest, darkest archives. Let’s see what happens when we do this…
Ever wondered where all these pandas came from?
Or who our early influences were?
Will Mehitabel ever free herself of pandas? Stay tuned!
Or what we think is a suitably dignified name for a panda?
“Bob” has a nice ring to it!
Hope you are having a happy holiday season and that all your gift shopping is done, but if it’s not, consider the gift of Panda Satire! You can find the full library of Panda Chronicle Books here! Including our latest addition, The Panda Chronicles coloring book!
Get your crayons ready!!!!
Remember that Santa is watching, so be the bear! and tune in for a brand new cartoon tomorrow, starring Pinky and Bubba!

We wouldn’t want to appear to be biased towards one holiday over another here at the Panda Chronicles, so even though the holiday of Pandukkah is now over (thank you for that, Nina L.) we celebrate that turning point in any young panda’s life, the Bear Mitzvah! 31 days of Pandas proudly presents…
Today, you are a bear.
…if I were a panda, yadda dah dah da- da- da- AAARGH! I can’t stop!!!!! You’re welcome.
Meanwhile, the debates go on….
I’m sure you can trust this cat!
Be the Bear,
Bob T. Panda
Oh my! The suspense here at 31 Days of Pandas is getting too much to bear…get it? Too much to…oh, never mind. You knew I had a weird sense of humor already, so no complaining in the cheap seats.
Let’s get back to it’s a Wunderful Life, shall we?
Repeat after me, “It’s a story” ‘kay?
Everytime a bell rings, a panda gets a cuppycake.
Yay! The heartwarming schmoopy ending!
You didn’t think I was going to make you wait another day for the heartwarming schmoopy ending did you? what kind of bear do you think I am?
Don’t answer that!
And while you are doing your holiday shopping, why not add a Bee, the bear, mug to your collection! Yours for the asking (well, and your credit card) from Pandyland at CafePress!
Bee, the Bear
and on the other side…
Be the Bear! and tune in for more pandy fun tomorrow and Saturday, with a brand new ‘toon on Sunday, starring…hmmmm could it be Pinky and Bubba? We’ll see!
Bob T. Panda
Yes, it’s a wonderful Wu, and a Wun-derful Life! Huzzah! We are back with the next episodes for your panda satire watching enjoyment.
Sit back and enjoy the show!
You won’t like this, Mr Wu!
Those darn cats!
Oh this is so traumatic! I hate to upset the wu self, but a writer has gotta do what a writer’s gotta do. No one ever said it would be pretty.
Meanwhile, you could head over to Pandyland at Cafe Press and show your support for the Wu-self this holiday season!
The Wu self(i.e.) mug!
…and on the other side…
Be the Bear!

We’re making a list,
Of presents and stuff,
We hope we get lots,
Or we’ll be real gruff,
Pandy Claws is coming to town!
We put out some cake
With frosting galore,
Hey that looks good,
Maybe I should have more,
Pandy Claws is coming to town!
He knows where you are sleeping,
And when you are awake.
He’s got a list from Pinky,
That will cause his sleigh to break!
Oh!
You better not get
Into Pinky’s way.
You have been warned ,
That’s all I can say,
Pandy Claws is coming to town!!!!!!
Leaping out of his holiday wrapping, we want to take this little gift home with us!
…Naughty or Nice? you decide!
There’s nothing on earth that I’d rather do….
Have yourself a pandy little Christmas….I think this might need to be a holiday mug!
Be the bear!

And don’t forget, tomorrow we reveal Bubba’s official Panda Chronicles outfit! Don’t miss it!
Having finished up with The Wizard of Wu this week, I thought I would wait until next Monday to start the next Encore Presentation of another Panda-Adventure story. Because it ’tis the season, next week get ready for…
Quiet in cheap seats! I’m allowed to play favorites, and since Pinky just got a whole ‘nother book, almost to herself, I thought the Wu-Self should get a little more air time. Plus Pinky and Bubba will be here with an all new cartoon on Sunday where we reveal Bubba’s official Panda Chronicles outfit! Huzzah!!!!!!
I’d also like to take this opportunity, as it is also Fabulous Furry Friday, to mention that there is no better time than now to give the gift of panda satire! With >6< books plus the all new Panda Chronicles Coloring Book, not to mention Pandamorphosis, to choose from, and lots of goodies available from The Pandyland Store on Cafe Press and suitable for framing illustration reproductions from Pandamorphosis, there is something for everyone on your gift giving list.
Okay, comercial over! Bring on the bears!
I’m ready for my close-up…um..I am, aren’t I?
Remember the early days of Pinky and her magical wand? Here’s Pinky’s first news conference!
Pinky answers difficult questions from the press in her own way.
You say you want a resolution, well, you know, it is hard to change a bear….
Sometimes I think that I shouldn’t comment on the serious issues of the day. Then I remember that bringing light and laughter into the world is important. That’s our mission here at The Panda Chronicles. The news has been far too seriously ugly of late. I say embrace your inner panda and let’s be kinder and gentler. Okay?
Don’t try this at home….
Don’t forget to tune in tomorrow for some more panda fun from The Panda Chronicles!
Be the Bear,
Bob T Panda
