Today is the day of “J”

In the words of a true fan of the pandas (OK and Mehitabel too,) “Cats are Jerks.”

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the Jacuzzi….

What cats are reading at the beach this summer!

Really, we can hardly wait till tomorrow when we can write about Kickstarter, the Panda Kindergarten and many other things that start with “K” But that’s tomorrow. Today is the day of “J”. This one is for you, Jude.

Well, heck, everyone deserves an “off” day from the A to Z. Here’s a few other cartoons to get you through the weekend. (I’m going to take off tomorrow and post on Sunday instead, just sayin.)

sorry, Judge.

So much for those new navigation systems…or is it “nagagation systems”?

Nothing like the panda kindergarten, out for a joyride in their jalopy!

Nothing like the panda kindergarten, out for a joyride in their…um… Bob’s jalopy!

“I” is for Inspector Panda

6 Replies

Well, OF COURSE it is.

Inspector Panda, that insouciant investigator of illicit idiots, that ironic icon of mystery and intrigue, living the idyllic existence while idling indolently on islands of igneous rock, while inscribing on his ipand and listening to his ipawd, and of course, is in touch with his inner panda.

Gee, I like “I”, which brings you today’s offering in the A to Z Challenge!

..in which we introduce Inspector Panda….

Inspector Panda says, “Know the signs of cuppycake dependency”

Inspector Panda has appeared in several of the panda stories, including Mr Wu Joins the Circus. I hope to start working on an extended Inspector Panda story soon.

This is a case for…Inspector Panda!

I’ll be in touch!

Be the Bear,

EEEEExuberant pandas!

Yes, it is day five of the most excellent A to Z challenge.

Enquiring minds explore excellent edifices and endeavor to educate enthusiasts. Ever exciting events are in Evidence.

EEEEEEEEEE! It’s the panda kindergarten! We shall endure. And as we had earlier engaged to exhibit the essence of the cast of the Panda Chronicles….

Our enfant` egomaniac, that paragon of perfection, Princess Pinky, currently the youngest panda on The Panda Chronicle stage.

Pinky answers difficult questions from the press in her own way.

The engaging Bee (the bear):

Mehitabel would like to register her protest about given the least sympathetic role in this adventure.

Of course we must not forget those energetic panda scout entrepreneurs, Bert and Ernie:

Time to call in …Inspector panda!

Which gives entree to that enigma to evildoers, Inspector Panda!

THIS is a case for Inspector Panda!

Ending with our enchante` enchantress, the engaging Babette de Panda!

Entertainer extraordinaire!

And now, for our escape:

Escape! Come with me, little cake, so we can be alone together.

It is De Day of Dramatis Bearsonae

10 Replies

What with all the delightful day-trippers descending on The Panda Chronicles to visit during the A to Z Debacle (okay, it’s not really a debacle, but I needed a word that started with “D” – tomorrow it will be an extravaganza) I thought it a good idea to acquaint you with some of the major players here, the Dramatis Bearsonae, so to speak:

But first, a word from our sponsor: Today’s post is brought to you by the letter “D”

Our Dominant Doyenne of Discipline (or the lack there-of): Mehitabel the cat! (Huzzah!)

The panda kindergarten is “busy” …can you call back later?

Next up, the Dynamic Director of The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire, Put your paws together for Bob….T…..PANDA!!!!!!

Song of the pandateers.

And of course, The Panda Chronicles wouldn’t be what it is today, if not for that Delegation of Devious Delinquents, THE PANDA KINDERGARTEN!!!!!!!

…if I were a panda, yadda dah dah da- da- da- AAARGH! I can’t stop!!!!!

And everyone’s MOST favorite Descendant of the San Diego Dynasty, let’s give a big howdy-doo to MR WU!!!!!!!!!!

Mr Wu in his first dramatic role

And just because I like this cartoon soooooooo much,

Today, you are a bear.

My A to Z pick of the day is Rebekah Loper. Huzzah! Join me tomorrow as I continue to challenge myself to find words through the alphabet that relate to pandas!

Meanwhile, back at the Pandamorphosis ranch, things are moving ahead with publication to come later this month! stay tuned!

And tomorrow we continue with our cast of characters list with The Cublanta Twins, Princess Pinky, Babette de Panda, Bee (the bear) and Inspector Panda

And now for the Sunday Special!

8 Replies

Special what? Oh, I don’t know…I was looking for a word to go with “Sunday”, and “special” popped into mind. Just ignore me. It’s OK.

Well, meanwhile on the Pandamorphosis front, preparations are proceeding apace to launch Pandamorphosis into the world. Thanks to all of those who have offered their support, not only with my Kickstarter project, but also with the upcoming book launch, now scheduled for April 16th (yes, THIS April 16th) just in time for International Panda Day. And no I am not making this up!

Meanwhile Friend to Pandas, Henry Nicholls posed the question, “which would the panda kindergarten prefer: Regular Pepsi or new Pepsi Max? ”

Whichever one has more sugar in it would be my guess. Afterall, scientists have now determined that pandas have a “sweet tooth.” Hello? cuppycakes? Just sayin’.

enquiring minds want to know….

And a quick note, I’ll be participating in the A to Z challenge, where I will be posting daily for the month of April. We are to use a letter theme for each day (A to Z, right?) Ah, if only every day could be the letter “P” but I’m sure somehow I’ll manage to make everything panda related.

Till Tuesday, then,
Be the Bear!

It’s Fabulous Furry I-almost-forgot Friday

4 Replies

Oh my!

I have been so busy getting Pandamorphosis ready to make it’s way into the world, that I completely forgot that it was Fabulous Furry Friday. This will not stand, Man.

Here are some classics from the panda archives!

is it….

…time for….

…a little something?

Last week I was looking for this cartoon, as there had been some footage of wild pandas captured by hidden cameras. Smile, you’re on Pandid camera!

The secret lives of the wild panda!

And another reader asked what the inside of my head looked like, in order to come up with all my goofy ideas….

What’s that stuff getting all over my paws? Oh…it’s frosting!

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! Stay tuned for more news about Pandamorphosis! It’s coming and it’s coming SOON!

Road from Cublanta…Go, Twinkies, Go!

8 Replies

What could be more exciting than a road trip, especially when you have an adorable yellow car and a good kerfuffle in store for you at the end of the road?

And, yes, Inspector Panda does have his very own Twitter account. You can find him at @NoirPandas on Twitter. He would really like it if you followed him. Maybe you could help him with this case.

Will the twins get a merit badge for their road trip? Will Lun Lun fess up to where the girls are? Will Inspector Panda get a clue, or at least more twitter followers. Stay tuned!

I want to give a quick shout out of thanks to all who have bought The Panda Chronicles Book 4: The Book of Wu since it’s release just a couple of weeks ago. Huzzah! not to mention, shazaam! I’m also happy to see that there must be some newcomers to the world of The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire, because you’ve bought the earlier books too. You are the bears!

And speaking of The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire, we now have our own Facebook page. Head on over if you are a facebookian, and give it a like. Or a cuppycake. But don’t get frosting in your keyboard. It is a bear (ha ha, get it?) to get out.

Till next time,
Be the Bear!

Just when you thought it was safe to get back on the highway…

Squee.

I’ve been trying to figure out a way to use the “storyline” that came out of the realms of “Political Intrigue: New Jersey edition”…you know what I’m talking about. And who would be a better mastermind, than our nation’s first panda princess…but don’t tell! There’s sure to be a cover-up.

George Washington Bridge lane closure satire.

Princess Pinky Bao Bao…what have you done now?

And while we’re talking politics, if you haven’t heard, a panda is running for mayor of Washington DC, you can read about his campaign on Twitter! Is that cool or what? He has our support, for sure! Check him out on twitter at @PandaforMayorDC Or, is it little Princess Bao Bao who has her eye on the prize? (Rumor has it, she’s getting ready to throw her tiara into the ring!)

Thanks again to all my Kickstarter supporters. My project was wildly successful, news will be breaking soon, so stay tuned. (Better than wind breaking, I guess.)

It’s Panda Scout cookie time!

6 Replies

I don’t know how Panda Scouts in the Pacific Northwest do it… It’s been raining like crazy, so going door to door to sell cookies or setting up in front of the grocery store is hardly an option….there are even rumors of snow for this weekend.

On my honor, I will try…to eat as many cookies as I possibly can….

On the other hand, there may not be so many cookies left to sell, so maybe it’s not a problem.

And as we mentioned on Wednesday, It’s almost time for The Academy Awards Ceremony. Here is one of my favorites for an encore presentation.

What will Christopher Robin say about this?

Today is the last day, in fact we are in the last few hours of my Kickstarter campaign to fund Pandamorphosis. Hope you’ve had a chance to stop by and see what else comes out of my studio. (panda-wise, that is). You have until 1 PM PST to join in the fun.

Sometimes things DO turn out happily ever after.

Thank you all so much for your participation, in bringing Pandamorphosis to life!

You are da bears….

The Panda Kindergarten is very talented….

Once again, our newest panda kindergarteners take to the stage to show you just how talented they are.

Fresh from their victory in the Giant Panda Zoo Awards, the Cub-lanta twins, Bert and Ernie, share the stage with (well, as much as she’ll let them) none other than Princess Pinky!

we are friendly, not ambitious!

Meanwhile, over in Kickstarter land, Pandamorphosis is still going strong. As we move into the final 4 and a half days, you still have time to pledge your support to bring this project to it’s triumphant close. Huzzah!

pandamonium ensues!

Support Pandas International with your purchase of Panda Chronicles Books 1, 2 or 3

You also have that same 4 1/2 days to support Pandas International, with your purchase of any of the 3 Panda Chronicles books. Huzzah again!
