Bear is a fictional character first created in an Australian children's television series called Here's Humphrey, which first went to air in 1965.

The character of Humphrey is a tall, shaggy honey-loving brown bear with a large, round, shining, glossy black nose, straw boater hat, tartan waist-coat and oversized yellow bow-tie.

His television show always features a companion who assists and narrates Humphrey's various adventures in the "magic forest" including his brightly coloured treehouse.

The character of Humphrey explores life as they do, trying to reinforce their self-esteem and showing them it's all right to embrace challenges.

His first major fundraising effort saw the release of a limited edition gift set featuring a Humphrey plush doll and DVD.

Humphrey then started reappearing across Australia, taking part in live shows such as school performances, community events, and birthday parties.
