Pics children's books rupert the bear
Someone’s found an old comic of Rupert the Bear which appears to show a completely different side to his character
For over a hundred years, since his creation by Herbert Toutel in 1920, Rupert the Bear has been a popular character amongst kids in the UK.
Along with his chums Bill Badger, Willie the mouse and Edward Trunk the elephant, he’s been having adventures in faraway lands but always getting home in time for tea with his parents in the fictional village of Nutwood.
But now, Twitter user Simon Harley has discovered a 50 year old Rupert annual in a charity shop which would seem to show a rather raunchy side to the cuddly character (or maybe not).
Let’s have a look.

Ooo-er!
People enjoyed the revelation.

The fact it rhymes makes it sound like an awful line from a Bob Dylan song.

“Why have you come back in different trousers?” asks Bill Badger.
