Rupert Bear
 Rupert 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 1920. Rupert's initial purpose was to win sales from the rival Daily Mail and Daily Mirror. In 1935 the mantle of Rupert artist and storyteller was taken over by Alfred Bestall who was previously an illustrator for Punch and other glossy magazines.
