And now, to be completely serious….no, really.

Note: No cats were actually harmed during the making of this cartoon, although they definitely were offended.

Yes it’s true, I am not a cartoon panda (sorry if I’ve surprised or disappointed anyone) and I really do have a Kickstarter project that still has a long way to meet my funding goals in only 7 days. I usually don’t cross pollinate my blogs, or the different parts of my creative life, but I’m making an exception here. Please check out my project at the following link. Even if you can’t help, maybe the extra traffic will encourage the folks at Kickstarter to give me a little extra exposure, so please visit and recommend to your friends and readers, if you see fit. Here’s the link:

We now return to our regular scheduled silliness. You are all the Bears for following the Panda Chronicles. It’s thanks to you all that I am about to reach 20,000 visits! (or maybe my brother visited 20,000 times?)

We could hardly keep Babette‘s feet on the ground, once she realized that, not ONLY has she been nominated for best panda in a short feature film, (Your Brain on Pandas: The Movie) but that she would lead the Panda Krew in the All Panda Fat Tuesday celebration in New Orleans! We apologize that our footage of the festivities was unavailable yesterday, but it seems that we had some technical difficulties which prevented us from showing the film yesterday. Without any further delay, Here is:

All Panda Fat Tuesday!

Till next time, Be the Bear!

We here at the Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire are pleased and excited to announce that our new fil-um, Your Brain on Pandas: the Movie, is now showing on Youtube, and not only that, it’s been nominated for an Oscar! (In the category of Best 2 minute film about cartoon pandas.) be sure to watch it at:

Your Brain on Pandas: The Movie!

We will be back later this evening when our lazy and indolent cartoon-ographer brings you the story of Pandas Fat Tuesday. (OK, OK, every day is fat something for pandas, but no need to rub it in!)

Till then, here is an earlier panda movie that had rave reviews:

Till tonight,

Be the Bear!

Procrastination is a many splendored thing…..

Hey, remember oh, a month or so (or so…) ago and TheRubbe gave me the versatile blogger award….well, I did part of the required dealy-bobs you have to do, thank the giver of the award, tell 7 things about yourself that the bloggosphere doesn’t know, and then pass the award on to 7 more people. Well, I kept putting off granting the award to more people, which, like my usual response to chain letters, drops it dead in it’s tracks. Part of my procrastination had to do with I wasn’t sure if there were 7 blogs that I follow, and then there is all the technical stuff of looking up their addresses and putting them on the blog and contacting them and blah blah blah.

Not nearly so much entertainment as playing with the panda kindergarten. But fulfilling these duties is part of that which makes the blog world go round. Some of the things I like about this place is that:

1. People accept me as a cartoon panda. (HA HA!)

2. I’ve connected with people who are cartoonists or writers or just interesting and those connections feel real, not virtual. Maybe that is an illusion, but it is a comforting one, nonetheless!

3. I have insinuated the word “cuppycakes” into common usage.

Is that cool or what
So, Here is my list of blogs that I recommend, with perhaps a short note about why I like them.

The Traveling Writer : great advice about creative work.

The Ugly Moose: Because it’s funny, and who wouldn’t love this name?

Just Outside the Box Cartoon: Cartoons! Huzzah!

Kitty Blogger: who doesn’t love cute pictures and cartoons of cats?

The Daily Misfortune: Short, to the point, and cynical as hell.

And of course, a few pandas to get you through the night:

Going Outward Bound to Reach Your Inner Panda

Yes, we have another Roll of Honor inductee! Good friend and panda supporter, Ellen N. has been trying to get on the Roll of Honor for quite sometime, offering therapy services for Bob to help him deal with the panda kindergarten, among Bob’s many other problems. Finally she suggested that the panda kindergarten be sent to an Outward Bound experience. As per usual, here at the Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire we can’t just take an idea at face value. NOOOOO! We must twist and subvert the original idea until it only barely (or bearly) resembles the original idea because, well, we’re just that sort of bear! So without further ado, here is today’s feature cartoon !

Be the Bear!

In case anyone missed the Year of the Dragon cartoon that ran last month, I repeat it for you now, along with further dragon year/panda kindergarten adventures.

Perhaps Bob’s next book could be The Panda Kindergarten That Played With a Blow Torch.

A vote for pandas is a vote for cuppycakes!

I’m not sure what is worse: Bob’s continuing delusions that the panda kindergarten has turned over a new leaf, or the behavior of the panda kindergarten. I really think I should just stay out of it, although I have left some literature on Bob’s desk about Outward Bound programs for young pandas. I think maybe a session with Bob’s therapist is well overdue. (Ok, OK, Ellen, your Roll of Honor placement is coming….)
