Winnie the Pooh (Walt Disney…)

(Whitman, 1977-1984)
™ and ©1981 Walt Disney Productions

A.A. Milne’s lovable but dimwitted stuffed bear, originally called Edward Bear, has been a favorite with children and adults for decades. Pooh’s adventures have been told in books, animated TV specials and full-length animated movies, and all the related characters have been merchandised on everything from clothing to lunch boxes to toothpaste. In “real life,” Pooh and his friends are the special toys of young Christopher Robin, kept safely in his bedroom. But in Christopher Robin’s imagination, the trees outside his window become the vast Hundred Acre Wood, filled with endless exciting adventures.

Expanding on the characters’ original escapades, the comic deals with the characters as if they exist independently of Christopher Robin. It features all Pooh’s familiar friends, like Piglet, Owl, little Roo, and the popular Tigger, but also introduces a few new characters along the way, like Sir Brian and Dragon.
