More from the Panda Kindergarten! Huzzah!

In honor of the announcement of impending pandamonium in Canada (our neighbor to the North), I thought I would pay a little homage to one of my favorite Canadian musicians.

Meet the Pandals!

And Babette is no sooner back from her trip to China (from which I have just seen some pictures) than she must get ready to go to PandaPalooza! at the San Diego Zoo this weekend. It is so hard being an international spokespanda!

Coming soon, more panda product endorsements, tails from Scotland, and product warning labels: There is no holding back!

Kitten escape! The story continues!

Before we get to our feature presentation today, I’d like to give myself and all the pandas (AND MEHITABEL, didn’t you mean to say?) a quick pat on the head because we are less than 300 visits away from reaching 20,000 visits to The Panda Chronicles. I don’t know what this means in the real world, except that maybe you, dear reader, are coming back again and again and telling your friends, or mentioning it on your blogs. So whatever your doing, thanks. Be the Bear!

Run,kitty, run!

A big thanks and a Roll of Honor entry to Linda M. for her suggestion relating to cats and toilet paper! You da bear!

Ok, NOW it’s Fat Tuesday (or is it Pudgy Wednesday?)

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!

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….

Yes, panda fans, it’s time for the Scottish Play…er…cartoon I mean. Here at the Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire we never miss the opportunity to make fun of current events in the panda world. Well, actually, we’ll make fun of anything, whether it’s about pandas or not. The return of pandas to Great Britain for the first time in almost 40 years is an event to be celebrated! ( My panda historian friends will correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that Chi Chi, who lived at the London Zoo from 1958 until her death in 1972, was the last panda who lived in Great Britain.

Where’s My MacArthur Fellowship When I Need It?

I don’t know what most people think I do all day, but it is definitely NOT sitting around on my fuzzy butt drinking margaritas and eating bon-bons. Wouldn’t it be nice, though, if some magical fairy godperson (I’m not picky) would swoop down and drop a big bag of money so I could sit around drawing PANDA CARTOONS for days on end? I have fans now! (Well at least 28 of you are subscribing and some of those AREN’T because I personally threatened you with bodily harm and excessive whining if you didn’t.) People are depending on me for frequent applications of panda satire!

Around the beginning of October, someone on NPR always announces that the annual MacArthur Fellowships have been awarded and gosh darn it I didn’t get one again this year. Sigh… So there I was, lamenting my failure to receive large bags of money once again, and darned if I didn’t think of a cartoon to celebrate the season. So, I hope someone on the committee that selects people for the grant is reading this, because this category has long been neglected among MacArthur recipients.

Be the Bear (who was feeling better enough to draw a new cartoon!)
