Love it! And I have to add I'm a Rupert Bear fan owning many of the annuals - All the 60s and 70s, some 50s and a 1949 edition...but don't tell anyone! :) ..I loved how, in the illustrations, every time Rupert stood, or was making his way to a bus stop there was always a bus on its way in the distance. Cheers - Gary
