Unlike most modern comic strips, Rupert Bear has always been produced in the original form of strip with illustrations accompanying text, called " text comics", as opposed to text being incorporated directly into the art; for example, within speech balloons. Sheridan, Simon (2004). The A-Z of Classic Children's Television: From Alberto Frog to Zebedee. Reynolds & Hearn Ltd. pp.32–35. ISBN 1903111277. Rupert's Holiday Adventure (and Rupert's Message to Father Christmas and Rupert's New Year's Eve Party) (1932) Rupert is a comic strip bear who was born on November 8, 1920 in the Daily Express newspaper under the guidance of English artist Mary Tourtel. Rupert continued to appear under the tutelage of artist and storyteller Alfred Bestall who worked on Rupert’s career beginning in 1935 when Tourtel had to give Rupert up due to failing eyesight. And out of respect for Tourtel, Bestall didn’t sign his stories until after Tortell’s death in 1948. It is therefore difficult to determine exactly how many comic strips he actually wrote and illustrated. Bestall’s work served as a model for those artists who followed him.

Every year since 1936, a Rupert Bear annual has been released, even during the years of World War II, during a paper shortage. In 1991, Rupert Bear featured in an animated television series with 65 episodes and five seasons (13 per season) produced by Nelvana (Canada), Ellipse (France) and Television South (TVS) for the first season (13 episodes), with Scottish TV taking over control from season 2 when Television South lost its ITV franchise. The show followed the style and tone Bestall established in the Rupert newspaper series, with many of the stories being almost direct adaptations of his or others' panel stories from the Daily Express. Even if he had wanted to, he could not have matched "Mary's method of going from plaintive wistfulness to the edge of terror". He preferred to aim for livelier action, gentle humour, and "more chance for Rupert's initiative, without making him" - perish the thought! - "in any way clever". He was convinced, he said, that the stories were popular because right always wins but he also knew what his chief difficulty was: "to keep Rupert doing right without making him a prig". Over the years, Rupert has appeared in many guises, from glove puppets to slippers, and from lamp-shades to ceramics. His red and yellow clothes are bright and cheerful, lending themselves well to all kinds of medium. Probably, though, the most popular Ruperts of all, apart from the books, are the soft toys which are not only ideal as teddy comforters for small children, but lend themselves equally well to a more decorative role in a teen bedroom. The Rupert Annual for 1960 contained a story called Rupert and the Diamond Leaf, in which he visits "Coon Island", whose inhabitants are little " Coons". [6] The Coons previously appeared on the cover of The New Rupert: The Daily Express Annual, 1954 and in the interior story Rupert and the Castaway. [7] The first appearance was in the 1946 soft cover summer special Rupert on Coon Island.Mary designed many of Rupert’s chums, too, including Bill Badger, Podgy Pig and Edward Trunk and dreamt up the strange, almost surreal world of Nutwood which featured people in medieval dress wandering amongst a mix of incongruities such as clothed animals (who often kept unclothed animals as pets), ‘normal’ humans, and weird scientific inventions.

Rupert's unspectacular introduction was in a single panel, the first of 36 episodes of the story "Little Lost Bear" written and drawn by Tourtel. He was a member of Surbiton Hill Methodist Church for 50 years; he became a Rotarian, providing transport for the elderly, the blind, and the disabled; he was an air warden during the second world war; he used take Barnardo girls for visits to the fairground. The suspicion grows: he was simply a good man. Larratt, Shannon (22 May 2007). " "Rupert visits Coon Island" (!)". Shannon Larratt is Zentastic . Retrieved 25 January 2011. Rupert has lived a long time, and shows no signs of slowing down. Plus Dreamworks has recently gotten involved with the franchise, so who knows? Rupert may even become a film star.Rupert’s current artist is Stuart Trotter, who admits to being a big Rupert fan. He’s also an experienced artists and storyteller. Among his prior works are illustrations for Winnie-the-Pooh. Trotter has also brought new characters to Rupert’s world such as Clara the Cat. Dimbleby, Jonathan (9 June 2021).
