1950 Bobby Bear's Annual. He was born in 1919 and was the first bear in the world to appear as a cartoon character, pre-dating Rupert by one year. He started life in the Daily Herald newspaper (London) as a comic strip and was based on the Steiff bear from Germany that had just become very popular. The 1969 issue was the last annual produced.
