Bear is a children's comic strip character created by the English artist Mary
Tourtel and first appearing in the Daily Express newspaper on 8 November

over by Alfred Bestall, who was previously an illustrator for Punch and other
glossy magazines. Bestall proved to be successful in the field of children's
literature and worked on Rupert stories and artwork into his 90s. Rupert is a
bear who lives with his parents in a house in Nutwood, a fictional idyllic
English village. He is drawn wearing a red jumper and bright yellow checked
trousers, with matching yellow scarf. Originally depicted as a brown bear, his
colour soon changed to white to save on printing costs Distributed By
