Or more properly, a bear:
Pooh - based on the bedtime stories by Alan Alexander (AA) Milne - first appeared in the London Evening News on Christmas Eve 1925 in a story called The Wrong Sort of Bees.
You know, he doesn't look 80...

A little extra weight has its uses. Have somemore pie and Merry Christmas to you.

I bought my daughter the complete works for Christmas- but so far she is more interested in the sparkly windmill I also get her at the $2 shop.

Hollywood is like that. He is, in fact, looking younger every year. He's losing the lines on his face as well. Probably Botox. Personally I think it's all a plot by Disney.
Slightly shocking the way the canonical images of stories are now the Disney images: I've had complaints about a storey in which Cinderellas ball dress was white ("But it's blue, dad") because that doesn't fit the Disney form.

Yes, well, Disney's ability to take any story you actually enjoy reading to your children and turn it into something that makes Barney almost seem preferable is well documented. I can only hope that the Milne estate made a shitload of cash out of it.
