Happy Birthday Rupert Bear

The things that pop up in ones news feed.

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.
