Rupert Bear
Rupert Bear is a British children's comic strip character and franchise created by artist Mary Tourtel and first appearing in the ''Daily Express'' newspaper on 8 November 1920. Rupert's initial purpose was to win sales from the rival ''Daily Mail'' and ''Daily Mirror''. In 1935, the stories were taken over by Alfred Bestall, who was previously an illustrator for ''Punch'' and other glossy magazines. Bestall proved to be successful in the field of children's literature and worked on Rupert stories and artwork into his nineties. More recently, various other artists and writers have continued the series. About 50 million copies have been sold worldwide. The comic strip is published daily in the ''Daily Express'', with many of these stories later being printed in books, and every year since 1936 a Rupert annual has also been released.

Rupert (name)
Rupert or Ruppert is an English truncation of Latin ''Rupertus'', which derives from Old High German ''Hruodoperht/Hruodoberht'' ('p' and 'b' are the voiceless and voiced cognates of the same consonant); which is also the source of the name Robert. Thus, "Rupert" and "Robert" are different modern forms of the same name. The Old High German form of the name evolved from Germanic Hrothi, "fame, glory" + Berht, "bright"; thus, Rupert and Robert mean "fame bright". Given name A–P * Saint Rupert of Bingen * Rupert Boneham (born 1964), American multi-time ''Survivor'' contestant * Rupert Brooke (1887–1915), English poet * Rupert Bunny (1864–1947), Australian painter * Rupert Cambridge, Viscount Trematon (1907–1928), great-grandson of Queen Victoria * Rupert Carington, 4th Baron Carrington (1852–1929), English Liberal MP and soldier * Rupert Carington, 5th Baron Carrington (1891–1938), English peer, father of Peter Carington, 6th Baron Carrington, former UK Foreign Secretar ...
