From Quiz Paws Up for Anthropomorphism!
Answer:
Rupert Bear
Rupert lives in Nutwood with his parents. Some of his friends are Ping-Pong the Pekinese, Edward Trunk the elephant, Algy Pug and his best friend, Bill Badger. Rupert, his parents and his many friends are all anthropomorphic, although there are human characters too, such as the Professor, who often introduces Rupert and his 'pals' to new adventures. Rupert wears yellow checked trousers with a corresponding scarf, topped off by a bright red jumper.
Originally created by writer and artist Mary Tourtel of Canterbury, Kent, Rupert made his debut in The Daily Express in 1920 and, under the authorship of different writers and artists over the years continues to this day. There have been several books, annuals, television series and even videogames devoted to Rupert and he has a large fan following. There is also a museum dedicated to him in Canterbury.
