Captain Bluebear
Captain Bluebear (German: ''Käpt'n Blaubär'') is a fictional character created by novelist and comic artist Walter Moers. Bluebear, an anthropomorphic talking bear with blue fur who originally appeared in the German children's television program '' Die Sendung mit der Maus'', has since then appeared in a film, a novel, a stage musical and various other media, all of which chronicle the character's life as a sailor and adventurer. Outside of Germany, Captain Bluebear is best known for being the protagonist of Moers' novel '' The 13½ Lives of Captain Bluebear''. The name pokes fun at the relative homophony between the German vowel ''e'' and umlaut ''ä'', when pronounced in a more colloquial, everyday style of language, especially in Northern Germany. In a compound noun the final ''-e'' from ''-beere'' (e.g. ''Erdbeere'' "strawberry", ''Himbeere'' "raspberry", etc.) would very often not be pronounced at all: ''Bär/Beer(e)'' - 'bear/berry' ...
