We interrupt our regularly scheduled hilarity for this message

6 Replies

If you are not aware already, the nation’s (well this nation anyway) newest panda ceased to be after only 6 days on the planet.  We send inner pandy thoughts to Mei Xiang, Tian Tian and all the staff at the National Zoo in Washington DC. They should know that the nation’s panda faithful mourn with them.

We know that these things happen…nature knows what it is doing, but it doesn’t make us any less sad.  We will go back to being funny tomorrow.

Till then,

Be the bear.

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!

There are so many great quotes that came out of the space program, and at least several, if not more, came out of the Apollo Space Program. In our final tribute to the late Neil Armstrong, we bring you Pandas in Space!

Danger Bob T. Panda, Danger!

(But first we pause for an important message!:

)

one giant panda for mankind!

Also, I wanted to let you know that the folks at Pandas International (the real one, not the one I made up) have agreed to write an afterword about saving pandas (real ones, not the ones I make up) for my book.  How cool is that?

Sigh.

The Olympics are over, and I didn’t get top watch any of it, having given up my TV some years ago.  So, I just had to make do with The Panda Olympics!  Huzzah!!!!

So, here is one last (well, maybe the last…the panda kindergarten never seems to know when to quit) before I return tomorrow with part 2 of Bob and Mehitabel explain Kickstarter.

Love the hobby horse on a spring (inspired by a REAL photo of a REAL panda on one.

 

Be the …um…bear.

We are quite excited to learn that a new panda cub was born to Madame Bai Yun, the queen of panda moms, at the San Diego Zoo yesterday afternoon.  (no midnight vigils for Bai! )

Now if only Mei Xiang and Ya Ya could share in the blessed events….

we are still hoping for a panda cub trifecta

Later this week…the exciting conclusion to the torch bear’s saga!

The Torch Bears Reveal their “Enterprising” Personality

4 Replies

Once again, a story has come across the airwaves that is just ripe for panda satire.  And, as you know, we at the Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire can NEVER resist such a good story.  It just makes me proud to be a cartoonist.  The story of former Olympic torch bearers selling their torches on Ebay is one such story.  Believe me, I am NOT making this up.

It’s all in the timing…..

Well, the torch bears are at it again.  Will they reach the Olympic Games in London in time? And what does dinosaur flatulence have to do with pandas?  Tune in and see…..

Never underestimate the power of a good “fart joke”

Frommage, indeed!

Maurice Sendak passes away, pandas everywhere mourn…..

2 Replies

I have to admit, I had thought that Maurice Sendak was gone years ago.  Maybe because his books were among my favorites as a young cubbie.  His quirky and dark sense of humor continues to be an inspiration to me with my own work.  Imagine my surprise to find that he was still alive, at least until this past Tuesday.  I have to admit, that the idea of honoring him with a wild rumpus was not my original idea.  On Tuesday night there was a meeting of the SCBWI (Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators) in Seattle.  So, thanks for the idea.  I do believe I was the first to have the panda kindergarten rumpus in his honor.

Nobody can rumpus like the panda kindergarten!

And now, Friday Night Pandas brings you…the panda kindergarten! HUZZAH!

Well, with Mini-Bob off gallivanting around London, the panda kindergarten  is up to their old tricks.  People always want to know (OK, I IMAGINE  that people want to know this) just what goes on in the typical panda kindergarten classroom.  Who teaches the panda kindergarten?  Are there naps and snacks? Are there cuppycakes?  There really should be cuppycakes.

"Class....Claaaas....CLASS!!!!!!!!!

 

HAVE A BEAR-Y GOOD WEEKEND!
