THE ANDY PANDA STORY -

Andy Panda first appeared on screen in 1939. (11 YEARS BEFORE "ANDY PANDY"). His creation by Walter Lantz was inspired by the national attention given to the donation of a panda to Chicago's Brookfield Zoo the previous year. Andy's first film, the charming cartoon LIFE BEGINS FOR ANDY PANDA, was the one of only two films that featured Andy's mother, a sophisticated sounding lady panda. She was unnamed in the cartoons, but according to CRACKAJACK FUNNIES #39, her name was Permelia Panda. In MOUSE TRAPPERS, a later episode from 1941, she is seen again. She seems not at all happy with her husband, Andrew Sr., who fancies himself a great animal hunter. Andy's dad first appeared in LIFE BEGINS FOR ANDY PANDA. In this cartoon he appears muscle bound, and does not at all overweight, but that changes in his next appearance a couple of cartoons later when he is presented a lumbering buffoon. In each successive cartoon, the characters of Andy, his dad and mother improved, making them more appealing.

Another panda in this series Andy's girl friend, Miranda. She did not appear on screen until the very last film (SCRAPPY BIRTHDAY) in 1949, however, any comic book collector worth his weight in gold will tell you she appeared years before in 1941's CRACKAJACK FUNNIES #39 and #40. These were short strips that were probably meant to be a daily or weekly comic strip. They appear to have been designed in 1940 (according to the art) and were drawn by Walter Lantz himself. My guess is that the syndicates passed on the strip, so the 10 or so panels were put in the two issues of CRACKAJACK FUNNIES. The strips also featured a pet dinosaur named Dinah, whose origin is unknown. Andy Panda then left that comic and went to THE FUNNIES. He first appeared in issue #61 in November, 1941. The storyline of the comic is that Andy left his parents to go star in the movies. He was cared for by two human children in these strips and this saga ran from issue #61 through the last issue, #64. The story picked up again under the banner NEW FUNNIES, continuing until issue #69. At this point (issue #70) they started a new story, again featuring the boy and girl, that only ran to issue #74. It seems the story went unfinished because, in issue #75, Andy was drawn by a different artist. This new storyline ran for four issues, until #78.

Hey, it aint my fault you weren't hip to Andy Panda. If you're going to correct somebody, at least know your world history.
