Fall 2002 Issue |
This issue celebrates 100 years of Teddy Bears with the feature, “Teddy’s
Bear - one hundred and going strong.” Take a good look at the variety
of Teddy Bears spanning the century since it’s inception.
Also in this issue there are new artist Bears celebrating “Teddy’s
Birthday.” Teddies by fifteen artists are partying hard in this feature.
A new article which is sure to be continued in future issues is, “ Early
Artist Teddy Bears.” Theodore B. Bear, an artist Bear himself,
starts a review of his vast collection of early artist Teddy Bear pictures.
See how styles have changed over the years, and get a chance to see little known
artists that were there at the beginning.

Leonard Gotoking, Singapore; Robin Ruinsky, New York; and Pat
Kapral, Missouri.
