Cleo the Panda
Cleo is our lovable, confused advice columnist. In Fuzzy Philosophy with Cleo, which posts every Monday, she provides accidentally poignant advice, often misinterpreting situations in the most endearing ways. Cleo's columns are signed off with 'Fuzzily yours,' and she is also a dedicated mother to her son, Jia.
