Terrible news everyone: Sad Panda has gone missing. A reader sent us these disturbing images of a Wall Street with no mascot. His usual stomping grounds have been checked out, but he's nowhere to be found. One concerned citizen even put up a missing poster.
There's still hope, people, maybe he just got too hot in that panda outfit. Maybe he took his earnings and went on a much-deserved vacation. After all, last time we saw him he was so happy.
Have you seen Sad Panda? Please let us know. The last photograph of him we could track down was taken on July 4th.

Its too hot to be wearing a panda suit...grow up.
A Chinese restaurant captured and slaughtered him.
Ya, I'm pretty sure I saw him on the menu at a place on Doyers Street...
I think you meant on the corner of division and eldridge.

I'm pretty sure he got a better paying gig:

And a new attitude to boot!
Kudos, Bad Panda!
He was arrested for performing in public without a license
maybe Patrick Bateman took him and is doing unspeakable things to him....right NOW!
i was hoping he just went somewhere with shade since it's getting so hot out. aww.

Maybe is went to a Plushie Convention
Maybe he went to a Plushie convention
panda got silly drunk off cheap sake and threw up inside his costume. he's sleeping it off on his mom's couch so don't harsh his mellow.
Maybe he's finally happy.
Downtown Alliance dude said he's on vacation in Shanghai and will return in October...
?
I hope so.
He deserves to be happy.
Maybe he found himself a cute girl panda and decided to settle down. You know how pandas don't like to have public displays of affection.
Seriously, is this the dumbest thing an attention whore like "sad panda" and it's publicity machine Gothamist, can do?
Somebody please do the kind, NYC thing and shoot him.
Why are you so negative about a playful Gothamist blog topic?
It's not that serious.
I'm with snickerdoodle on this one. I work in a building adjacent to the Bowling Green and see the so-called Sad Panda every day. I'm afraid he does nothing to add to the atmosphere of the neighborhood. He's just there to take handouts from the hapless tourists who are photographing the testicles of the charging bull. I am also suspicious of the missing poster.
Sad Panda could be on vacation. It is July and the summer after all.
Someone HAS to make a comic strip about Sad Panda.
I thought Bernie Madoff was the official mascot of Wall Street
stop talking about this retarded panda.
how many posts do there need to be about it?
New York can't really be that boring that there's nothing more interesting to talk about? can it?
at least you got your exclamation point in there though!
Maybe Dash Snow was the Sad Panda.
Yeah, right. He wished he was so creative.

"We have the Panda.
Do not call the police.
Do not alert the press.
We will have further instructions later."
He and Times Square Elmo have run away to Mexico together.
