A bit of a different entry than usual today.
The Three Bears was a long-running British comic strip which appeared in the British comics magazine The Beano.
It first featured in 1959's issue 881 and ran sporadically until 2011 through reprints and several artists.
Basically Ma and Pa Bear and their young son Teddy (later called Ted) were three anthropomorphic bears who lived in a setting loosely based on the American Wild West. They were lazy and gluttonous, and lived in a cave upon a hill.
Most storylines revolved around their attempts to steal "grub" from the local storekeeper Hank (who often shoots at the Three Bears with his blunderbuss for trying to rob him).
There was the occasional appearance by the local sheriff, and their rival bear Grizzly Gus (who had a son called Gus's Grizzly)
Oddly enough in this week's Beano they do feature in a story involving Dennis and Gnasher which rather took me by surprise but how many of todays readers really know all about them?
