		The strips used were parts of a Rupert Bear cartoon which had been superimposed on a strip by the American underground artist Robert Crumb.
		Rupert Bear had appeared in the pages of the Daily Express for years (he emerged in late November 1920 as a result of circulation battles between the major dailies) and offered an innocent, nostalgic and quintessentially ‘middle-English’ version of childhood.
		Although the basic drawings and speech-bubbles are Crumb’s, Rupert’s head and scarf had been carefully superimposed on the original character, and the frame titles (there are six frames) and the characteristic narrative in rhyming couplets beneath had been retained from the Rupert strip.

	Halfbakery: Great Glass Rupert Bear Trousers
		So I would like to see Rupert Bear trousers made more magical by engineering each trouser panel or 'check' to bear a small button and a label, which when pressed would produce something joyous to the child.
		So, each panel on the Rupert Bear trousers of a small child would be capable of manufacturing a chocolate vegetable, or a pillow filled with hamburgers, or a sugary drink, or a new dog.
		I think Rupert's ghastly dress sense is an unconscious psychological attempt to dissuade the advances of those perverted people he regularly comes into contact with and who take a very unnatural interest in our young friend.
