Do we still care: its Rupert the bear! (Valkenburg/NL)

Rupert the Bear is a character in a 1920 British children's book written by Mary Tourtel.

First appearing in the Daily Express newspaper on 8 November 1920. The comic strip is published daily in the Daily Express, with many of these stories later being printed in books, and every year since 1936 a Rupert annual has also been released.

Rupert became a popular children's hero and toys were soon introduced, especially popular in the 1960s. Well-known is the classic Rupert bear, with his red sweater, blue pants and white socks. And Rupert has a number of friends, including Bill Badger, Edward Trunk, Winky the Owl and Bungo the Bear. The Rupert toy bears from the 1960s are now collector's items, they are rare and expensive.
