When hunting in Mississippi in 1902, American President Theodore Roosevelt refused to fire a bear cub. The incident made national news. Clifford Berryman published a cartoon of the event in the Washington Post on November 16th, 1902, and the caricature became an instant hit.
Morris Michtom, the Berryman cartoon of Teddy Roosevelt and the cub inspired New York store owner Morris Michtom. He invented a new toy and even had a name in mind. President Roosevelt told Michtom that Michtom told him not to call the new toy a "Teddy Bear."
Following the introduction of the Teddy Bear, a parade of famous characters was followed.
His Teddy Bear Radar from Sesame Street named him his Teddy Bear Radar. Pooky, the lasagna lover's lovable scapegoat, was on hand over Garfield, the Cat Day. Winnie-the-Pooh and Paddington are among Teddy Bears' British invasions. The Care Bears first became greeting cards in 1981. They first stepped into television and toy history not long after.
And let's not forget the Muppet character Fozzie Bear. The lovable and comedic bear has humbly continued with one-liners, slapstick, and musical comedy for the rest of his life.
