"Rupert is a white bear who lives with his parents in a house in Nutwood. He is drawn wearing a red jumper and bright yellow checked trousers, with matching yellow scarf. Most of the other characters in the series are anthropomorphic animals (animals with humanoid forms). They are all scaled to be about the same size as Rupert, regardless of species. There are also a few human characters in the stories. Rupert animal friends are usually referred to as his "chums" or "pals". Aside from his best friend Bill Badger, some of the most enduring pals include an elephant (Edward Trunk), a mouse (Willie), Pong-Ping the Pekingese, Algy Pug (who actually predates Rupert[1]), Podgy Pig, and Ming the dragon. The kindly Wise Old Goat also lives in Nutwood, and helps Rupert in some of his adventures."
Bill Badger and Podgy look smart.
ReplyDeleteThey most certainly look far better dressed than the vast majority of men today.

Unlike the RL models, the RB models don't look gay.
ReplyDeleteThose were the days, mon Amiral.
ReplyDeleteElegant proportions, great neckwear and good haircuts - my stylish companion will love these looks. Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteIs this where Seth MacFarlane got his Rupert bear for Stewie Griffin on "Family Guy"?
ReplyDeletePodgy's suit is very smart - although it's a close run contest between him and Mr Toad for wearing tweed suits.
