On this day. November 8th, 1920. Rupert Bear first appears. It is a cartoon series for the Daily Express. And apparently he is still going strong & Paul McCartney brought the rights to Rupert in 1969.
Anyone here see or read Rupert when they were younger? I cannot say, I ever remember reading anything about him. But apprently the first Rupert Bear Annual was published in 1936 & you can still buy them today.
Goodness he’s getting on a bit now then isn’t he? He must be 105 years old.
I remember Rupert. I think he may have been my first true love. He wore a red jumper along with yellow check trousers.
He was much sweeter than Paddington Bear or Winnie the Pooh.
Of course as I matured and became more precocious I moved on from cuddly toys and fell in love instead with my Action Man. 
Rupert Bear stories were always a bit weird with some very strange characters.
Give me Enid Blyton anyday - wonderfully weird and imaginative!
I think I bypassed Rupert into Biggles quite early.
The Daily Express was read in our house so I did Rupert when a small kid.
Fairly certain I had a Rupert Annual at one point.
I bought a Rupert Bear Annual at a garage sale about 20 year ago , I read somewhere that the annuals with Rupert wearing white Trousers on the cover was Rare and worth something .
The one I bought was Rupert with white trousers , I dont think I cared much because it had been scribbled in and pictures were crayoned by the previous owner …
I kept it to read to my Grandsons , and Im not sure where it ended up .
I definitely remember the theme tune to the 70s TV series!
