Oh Boy! Two new inductees to the Roll of Honor! And Cuppycakes!
We are pleased to announce *2* new inductees to the Roll of Honor! First, we would like to welcome Sue Frause, in the catagory of “Random Acts of Cuppycakes,” for leaving a little package of cuppycakes on her doorknob before she went off on her errands. Was that cool or what? There she was on Fez Book talking about Farmer Bob making cuppycakes for her birthday, and I comment that I’ll be right over. So, she writes back that she’ll leave some on the porch for me! This is the very definition of awesome. And to top it off, she mentioned me ( Bob T. Panda) in her Seattle P.I. Blog, because after all, if you are talking about cuppycakes, you are talking about me! So welcome to the Roll of Honor, Sue! (Good cuppycakes, by the way!)
Our second lucky Roll of Honor inductee is Nina Laden, children’s author and illustrator extraordinaire, for the wonderful panda earrings she made for me out of something called shrink film. The little pandas are sitting and holding a pencil that is almost as big as the panda. I’ll take a picture and post it. They are really the cutest thing. I can’t wait to wear them. (They will look really good against my black ear fur!) Opening the package totally made my day. By the way, the reason I was so fortunate to receive this fabulous gift, was a little challenge that Nina was passing along, where the first 5 people who commented on this post from Nina (on Fez Book) would receive something from Nina, made by hand. It is a little like a chain letter, as Nina said in the note that accompanied my earrings, but with the MAJOR difference that the recipients self-select themselves, as opposed to some %@@!#$$&* chain letter that you have no interest in perpetuating. Also, then you get something cool and special made by hand (or by paw, in my case). By the way, if you ever send me an actual chain letter, I will be the one that breaks the chain. (Oh god, does this mean that the economic meltdown is ALL MY FAULT????) Anyway, I’m working on my “made by hand thing” but if you’re not already on the list, it’s too late now. Sorry. I highly recommend this kind of activity. Thank’s Nina. You are the Bear!
Till next time, when the panda kindergarten begins “helping” Bob with his campaign,

You Say “Privacy Policy”, I Say “Panda Kindergarten”
Do we really think that the panda kindergarten has turned over a new leaf, made new year’s resolutions, or really made any attempt whatsoever to clean up their act? Nah! What fun would that be?

Vote for Bob!

Bob Throws His Bamboo into the Ring
Vote the Panda Party!
It had to happen. Even with the trials and tribulations of controlling (HA!) the panda kindergarten, Bob feels that he has no choice but to declare his candidacy for President. Of course, there are many questions to be answered. Does he have to declare zoo panda rental fees in his financial disclosures? Will Babette be his “first lady”? Will the panda kindergarten obtain positions in his cabinet? And what about his birth certificate from the San Diego Zoo?
You can declare your support for a panda in the White House (the first since the Nixon Pandas took up residence there in 1972) by acquiring a Bob T. Panda for President bumper sticker from www.cafepress.com/pandyland
Now, a portion of our meager profits will be donated to Pandas International (no, really, you can ask them!) to support real, actual pandas! After all, our cartoon ceases to be funny if pandas go extinct! So, you can skin 2 cats with one purchase, aiding real pandas and declaring your fed-up-ed-ness with politics as usual. Buy stuff with pandas at Cafe Press Pandyland. Pandas everywhere will appreciate it.

Time to start getting ready for the 2012 Olympics!
Oh Those Pandas!
In light of the upcoming 2012 Olympic games to take place in London this summer, I thought I would occasionally bring you some highlights of Panda Olympics past. As you can see, the panda bobsled team (comprised of the 2010 panda kindergarten) had a few …um…problems.

Alas, Poor Twinkie…we will miss you……
Cuppycakes are in the news once again! This time, it’s not cuppycake confiscation, but the demise of an American institution…yes, those little packaged snack cakes that are alleged to have a shelf life of a million years, are on their way out!. I suppose that it is no mystery why the maker of Twinkies and Wonderbread has filed for bankruptcy. I can’t remember the last time I ate one. But still….

The Very Bob! Bob Paper Doll, That Is!
Another addition to your paper doll collection! Coming soon! The Panda Kindergarten! Huzzah! Print, cut out and glue to carboard backing and you are ready to populate your house with pandas ( OK, yes, Mehitabel, and cats) If you are new to The Panda Chronicles, Babette’s paper doll appears on December 2, 2011. Bob is carrying his favorite food, a cuppycake.

Really, I am going to get the panda kindergarten to behave better…well maybe tomorrow
I don’t know what to tell you. The panda kindergarten swore to me that if I let them be in another cartoon, they would behave better. What can I say?

Notes From the Bamboo Forest
My favorite F.T.P. (friend to pandas) Henry Nicholls, of The Way of the Panda fame, writes that there are 3 classes of folks in regard to pandas. First are pandaphiles, those who love pandas; next are pandaphobics, who are obviously quite insane, cause who doesn’t love pandas; and next are the pandapathetics, of whom we dare not speak. We at the Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire maintain that there are 3 more groups, in regard to pandas. The first is pandapologists, those who make excuses for pandas; next are the pandaholics, who can usually be found watching endless panda videos on youtube, (my personal favorite is baby pandas playing on a slide). Pandaholics can often become pandalusional, from watching too many videos of adorable pandas, and believe that they have a “special understanding of pandas”
I’m just sayin’.
