I loved this when I was a toddler! Horrible trousers fashion though… remember the tv show as well! Was a trip down memory lane when you started singin the theme!
I'm 77 and I used to get a Rupert album every year for Christmas when I was knee high to a grass hopper, It used to by written in rhyme If I'm not mistaken. Those were the days.
I think the lines directly under the pictures rhymed but then the story was in prose underneath. By the way, we did "Those were the days" and Mary Hopkin yesterday!
My neighbours daughter had an amazing collection of Rupert Bear Annuals going way back in the early fifties...we were about 8/9 years old. Later in my teen years l had a major crush on her.... Rupert Bear, you were responsible..!
In my childhood, I had an old 1950s joke book. It had the following joke (a precis: A little boy woke up in the middle of the night in a thunderstorm and was terrified. He went to seek solace from his father. The boy asked his father why there was thunder. The father replied 'Well son, every time that someone tells a lie on Earth, an angel stamps his foot in Heaven in reproach.' 'But Daddy, this can't be one foot being stamped, what is going on?' 'Well son, around this time of night, they print the Daily Express.'.
I recall Rupert in OZ, I have a copy in my archive. I also recall The Daily Express when it was a broadsheet and considered by many to be a sensible and august publication.
I was always fascinated by the Chinese dog character, I’ve forgotten his name, and a Wizard. The illustration was so strong of colour and warm of sentiment.
I was bought that exact same annual, I was 10 at the time and gradually realising that Rupert's life bore no resemblance to mine...that was the last year I read anything from Rupert
As far as I remember adults could read about him to us .Then never supply an answer if you asked questions .How to have adventures like Rupert and why we never had friends who were animals and why everything .I'm sure I thought one day I would meet him or something 😅😅😅Best Wishes to all 🌹
Rupert the Bear title song sung by Jackie Lee, available on youtube, Jackie also sang theme to White Horses. I have banned myself from reading DM online, however, my best trolling of the DM comments was having over 1000 down ticks for defending Strictly's two men dancing together.
YES! RUPERT ran on three levels ... Pictures,short commentary and full story.The full story had a highreading age than the express now (5.2 the last time I checked)
Sad to see the decline of a once great newspaper. The Daily Express buildings in London and Manchester symbolised the vigour of the Beaverbrook days when the Express had the largest daily newspaper circulation in the world.
Tim,It's worth just checking if you have the 1973 Annual with the brown Rupert on its cover,up in the trees.If you do it's worth thousands as it was later reprinted with Rupert as white as it was felt it stood out more from the background
That change was the reason why Alfred Bestall stopped working on Rupert because he didn't agree with that decision that was made behind his back. He drew Rupert brown
I agree! My tweets always stated that Rupert the Bear was the ONLY 'thing' in the Daily Slow that was worth reading. Oh! Except for the Eagle comic, with Dan Dare & in addition, on the radio, Dick Barton - Special Agent! 😁😁👍🚀🚀
We have a right wing press and broadcasters,so the general public are fed a biased view of the news. We are drifting towards an American gossip but no news system.
Rupert the Bear is full of lies. We had a chinese girl come to my primary school and her dad was not a wizard. He had a restaurant which is good second best but no magical powers.
Hello Prof. Tim, I’ll not comment on the Daily Espress as I do not subscribe to that particular brand of ferret litter tray pellet material ( as far as I can tell) but Rupert is a definite yes. I still have a teddy bear (not The “Rupert”) but just with that name and I’m guessing I’ve had him for around 70 years at the time of writing this. On hearing your comment about the change of colour of Rupert’s face, I suspected that hanging from brown to white was a printers/printing decision to improve clarity of facial detail as shading would impair the clarity of the small drawings being printed in black and white. I checked Wikipedia and the reason was to reduce printing costs. Prof., Tim what have you started? I’m now going to have to explore that forgotten period of my childhood and Ruper the Bear 🐻. Before anyone says about a second childhood, I haven’t left the first one yet 🤣. Best wishes from a little Bear from Kent and me in Oxfordshire.
Are the Express, Sun and other right wing publications still to be classed as newspapers? (The clue is in the names) Or should they be classed in the same category as Private Eye or Radio Times say? Are there VAT considerations?

I loved Rupert when I was a kid 😁
Alfred Bestall's Rupert is high art. He wrote AND drew the best Rupert ever!

That's why I haven’t brought a newspaper in years, Professor.
Everything you’ve said about our comic newspaper is absolutely true.
I'm 77 and I used to get a Rupert album every year for Christmas

rhyme If I'm not mistaken. Those were the days.

In thos days, yes
You could be right
Ir was in rhyme
But now it's shite
No doubt Rupert was by far the best thing to come from the Express!

🤣🤣👍
🤣😂🤣 brilliant. 👍🏼
Agreed, the Express is trash, along with a few others.
I love you Professor Tim ❤
The daily express is the very best for wraping fish and chips in 😀
It would probably turn the fish bad. 🤣🤣👍
Nice one Tim. If you're going to start trashing rubbish newspapers you're going to need a bigger bin.
LOL @ picking up the Express as a mistake. 😆 Very amusing Tim.
Now that's cheesed off. I remember Rupert. Agree.
I recall Rupert in OZ, I have a copy in my archive. I also recall The Daily Express when it was a broadsheet and considered by many to be a sensible and august publication.
The daily mail wasn’t any better this week our Tim!
No swearing please. We don't say DM
I don't read ANY newspaper any more. I don't miss ANY of them. And I miss NOTHING...
Only this week? Only thing Express and Daily fail have in common is they ideal for use if short of loo paper. Or even if you have plenty of loo paper
@@graemewilson7975 I tend to find the Daily Heil, the Express and the Scum leave your backside dirtier than if you hadn't wiped in the first place.
@@MephitisUK yep it's like their newsprint straight off the walls of H BLOCK
I was always fascinated by the Chinese dog character, I’ve forgotten his name, and a Wizard. The illustration was so strong of colour and warm of sentiment.
Pong Ping was his name.

Thanks for The Update ! Stay Safe ( From Sunny North Kent )
THANK YOU FOR THE BOOK CALLED RUPERT THE BEAR !!!
Rupert the Bear title song sung by Jackie Lee, available on youtube, Jackie also sang theme to White Horses.

I'd sooner gauge my own eyes out than read a single word of The Spectator.
I had the Rupert the Bear record. Loved that song. Much prefer this Rupert to Rupert the Bare-faced liar.
Raggety used to scare the daylights out of me when I was a child !!!! From the Seventies Puppet show.
My Mum used a Rupert annual of mine to make cardboard 50p’s for the meter. I wasn’t very happy.
I remember Rupert Bear being discussed during the 1960s OZ trials. Counsel spent time discussing his 'capabilities' in the public forum.
More than likely Rupert more factually correct 👋👋👋
YES!
RUPERT ran on three levels ... Pictures,short commentary and full story.The full story had a highreading age than the express now (5.2 the last time I checked)
The best to ever to come out of thr express was the Beachcomer. Truly amazing!

The wonderful thing about tigers .
We have a right wing press and broadcasters,so the general public are fed a biased view of the news.
We are drifting towards an American gossip but no news system.
"We are drifting towards," I think we arrived some years ago.
I admire your smoking cap. Is it Nepalese or Tibetan?
Loved Rupert as a child
I remember when the Sunday Express was a broadsheet and a decent read.
I remember Rupert Bear from “The Oz” an adult comic from the eighties, he was a naughty little bear, you should look him up.
£2.30 for a newspaper? !!!
I have the Rupert the bear annuals from the 1970s and 80s, i always found them abit desturbing.
Those black shark like eyes.
Comparing childhood comics to today's 'news' - all fiction, but Rupert at least had a good story! Put it under the budgie!
I think people buy it because it reinforces their pre-existing views …says quite a lot about a large number of our fellow citizens.
They put Rupert on those same skin/fur whitening drugs as Michael Jackson
It's a really nice fridge.
I liked the book "Rupert. My Five Years on Crack." I may have made that up...
The problem is a significant proportion of the population take what is written in the Express, Mail and the like at face value.
I grew up on marmalade sandwiches
How about Rupert Davies and Maigret?
Rupert the Bear is full of lies. We had a chinese girl come to my primary school and her dad was not a wizard. He had a restaurant which is good second best but no magical powers.
Hahaha, you just ruined my childhood. 🤣🤣👍
@@koalaeinstein-y7r He was a bear?
personally i blame todays educational system
Why is it that middle aged American men use Rupert as a fashion guru.?
Ah tim I hope you didn't pay for the daily rag
I have not bought a newspaper for over 40 years, Gutter press. all of it. In your opinion, what is what you call a proper paper?
read Rupert to my kids

Prof., Tim what have you started? I’m now going to have to explore that forgotten period of my childhood and Ruper the Bear 🐻.
Before anyone says about a second childhood, I haven’t left the first one yet 🤣.
Best wishes from a little Bear from Kent and me in Oxfordshire.
Sorry about a few typos
many thanks. yes, apparently to save money!! but at least the cover art remained authentic until the 70s
Are the Express, Sun and other right wing publications still to be classed as newspapers? (The clue is in the names) Or should they be classed in the same category as Private Eye or Radio Times say? Are there VAT considerations?
Sorry but you called it a newspaper, no, if you want a comic buy the Beano. That rag should carry a mental health warning
apropos lazy journalism
close your fridge door or it will freeze up.
it is closed
looks open to me
❤ 👍
I suppose YOU read The GUARDIAN. 😂😂😂😎 Professor of TWADDLE. ?????
