The Panda Kindergarten is now in session….

I always like September, well, at least now that I don’t actually HAVE to go back to school, that is, but it still, oh these many years later, (don’t ask) gives me a burst of energy to get back into the studio and actually get something done. The panda kindergarten is no exception and they absolutely PROMISE to be much better behaved this year. (Although I think I saw some paws crossed behind their backs when they said that.)

Meanwhile, back at the Kickstarter ranch, we are at 86% with only 6 days to go! For those of you not following or yet on board with the Kickstarter project (ahem) hope you will check it out, because we have big, pandy plans here at the Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire! I’d like to unveil the third in the triumvirate of panda posters (starting with “30 days of Pandas,” moving on to “Bee, the Bear,” and now we present:

Fezbook: The Mobile App!

What could be more fun than a car full of pandas?

and now, for our “back to school cartoon feature”, we present the panda kindergarten in “Classroom Follies!”

Huzzah!

“Class….Claaaas….CLASS!!!!!!!!!

Bee, the Bear!

The path of creativity is usually a twisting path. You just never know what thing you see or read or hear, that will spark a connection, and I am no exception to this process. For instance, my Scottish Panda cartoons, which had some Shakespearian inspiration, in turn sparked my brother’s imagination and resulted in his 31 plays in 31 days project, The Scottish Panda Plays.

When David Neel Of Island Apiaries offered an add on bonus of honey to my Kickstarter project (now in it’s last 6 days! Visit it before it’s too late!) I started thinking about bees and bears and how they both started with the letter ‘B’ and came up with Bee, the Bear. (OK, it seemed like an obvious connection to me!) Bee was an instant hit when I posted her picture on facebook and so I decided (well, actually, she insisted) to make a poster for her.

Bee, the Bear.

Meanwhile our Kickstarter project is at 80% with only 6 more days to go! If you’ve already supported it, many, many thanks (and tell all your humor loving friends) and if you haven’t you know what to do!

Bee, the Bear says Be the Bear!

Well, here we are, almost halfway through our Kickstarter campaign and let’s face it folks, pandas are lookin’ a LITTLE endangered, if you know what I mean. Is everyone on vacation, or what?

So just a word to the wise(guys)…to those who have already pledged, HUZZAH! and thank you, but your work is not done! Spread the word of panda satire and let all you friends know how gosh darn funny it is, and how their lives would be so much better with this book on their books shelf!

And those who haven’t gotten around to it yet? No time like the present, I always say. and, then after you pledge, tell 5 of your friends! They’ll thank you later. really, they will.

Mehitabel thanks you!

And by the way, I just read a few of the plays that my brother wrote, which were inspired by The Panda Chronicles (and that playwright…what’s him name? Shakspur or something like that?) and written for the 31 Plays in 31 Days writing challenge. Ha ha! I will attempt to transform a few into cartoons! We shall see…after all, the playings the thing!

Here is the obligatory Kickstarter link for today! Huzzah! http://kck.st/Qn6uAg

Bob and Mehitabel apologize for tasteless, sophomoric cartoons.

For those who are not following my Kickstarter project, (hint, hint) here’s the most recent update from Bob and Mehitabel.

Our lack of taste is only exceeded by our sense of the absurd.

Be the Bear!

For some reason, the share buttons did not show up on the last post (AND I forgot my daily Kickstarter link!) so here is a repeat of the cartoon I included with the reblog from Exit, Pursued by a Lark) sorry if you are getting this twice.

After all, the playings the thing….

Be the bear and visit

The world is now 31 plays, erm, richer?

If you’ve already seen this cartoon run away now!

Since not everyone who visits here has visited our Kickstarter page, (hint, hint) I am running the cartoon I used as the update yesterday here.

Thanks to all who come here to play with bears! With your help, we can send the panda kindergarten home to live with you. (“Wait..um…did you say the panda kindergarten was coming to MY house? Um… I’m going to be out of …um the universe for…a while.”)

But before we get to our feature presentation, may we send out a big pandy congratulations to my brother, who just completed the 31 plays in 31 days challenge, writing plays based on (are you ready?) The Scottish Panda Cartoons! Huzzah! You can read all about it at his blog, Exit, Pursued by a Lark http://chasbelov.wordpress.com/2012/08/28/the-world-is-now-31-plays-erm-richer/#comment-801/ I just about spit out my coffee, just reading the titles.

And now, for much ado about pandas,

Huzzah!

So, will there be panda cartoons of the Scottish Panda Plays? I hope so! I’ll have my people call your people..or is that my bears call your bears? We’ll do lunch.

Be the Bear!
