Winnie the Pooh newspaper strip

74 replies

AutumnOrange · 30/03/2022 20:53

Years ago there was a drawing of Winnie the Pooh (and either tigger or eyeore) looking out to some fresh snow and a caption beneath it. I cut it out of the newspaper because I loved it so much. Been googling to try and find it but either I am not using the right words or maybe it no longer exists.
Can anyone help?

@AutumnOrange oh, yay! I'm so glad to have helped. Memory is indeed bloody weird. I love Calvin & Hobbes, and it just rang a bell with me somewhere.

So glad you found it! I love abit of closure, even second hand closure 🤣 well done Useless Trees!

AutumnOrange · 31/03/2022 19:18

That’s it. I didn’t just need the cartoon strip. Maybe I also needed to be reminded that there are good selfless people out there. People who have spent time looking for a silly cartoon just for me 😊
How wonderful is that!
Sorry - that was wanky and deep but also very true.
Thank you everyone 😀

There's an hour's googling of my life I won't get back ... grumble grumble ...

Only joking - delighted it's been found 😀

How lovely, I bet the person who found it is as chuffed as you are OP.

Love this - well done @UselessTrees!!!

I love Calvin and Hobbes and Pooh so this thread has been delightful.

Good work all round! (Tiddly pom)

I used to listen to the stories on cassette narrated by Willie Rushton, if anyone can find those I'd be astounded!

What a delightful thread.

AutumnOrange · 31/03/2022 19:54

I have printed it out and pinned it on my notice board 😀

Oh I had those cassettes as a child, he was the absolute BEST voice for reading Pooh stories!

Oh my!

Oh my!

Thankyou so much for this, I'd never thought to look there! My eyes are leaking a bit...

RedScarfJamjar · 31/03/2022 20:05

Lovely thread

MrsDeaconClaybourne · 31/03/2022 20:10

I'm so glad to have found this thread. I love Calvin and Hobbes but often forget about them. They're not 'out there' so much unlike Winnie the Pooh and Snoopy who I also love.

Has anyone else seen the last cartoon where Calvin is very old and dying and he's able to 'see' Hobbes again? It's beautiful.

RedScarfJamjar · 31/03/2022 20:18

No? I don't think I want to!

I bought the entire C+H collection for my sons because they brought me so much happiness when I was younger.

I'm going to look that cartoon up now and probably dissolve.

MuggleMadness · 31/03/2022 20:18

@UselessTrees. My apologies🌸

(For my thoughts! 🤣🤣)

@AutumnOrange

So it wasn't pooh
It was a strip
It wasn't black & white
It was very different wording...

But other than that - well remembered!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank god for @uselesstrees 🌸

I hope the picture & the thread really helps. Xx

@seriousandloyal

How lovely, I bet the person who found it is as chuffed as you are OP.
I really am! Grin

I'm always very envious of those well-read posters on 'what is this book?' threads that come up with the right thing straight away, even when the OP has mis-remembered something crucial to the plot. Obviously my talents lie elsewhere!

@AutumnOrange Really hope that whatever is tough for you right now is easier very soon Flowers

@RedScarfJamjar
You are more than welcome, it’s made me quite emotional as well. I used to listen to them with my Mum and she recently passed away very suddenly ❤️
