Paddington Bear creator Michael Bond dies at 91

I liked Paddington because he is from "darkest Peru" and my parents are Peruvian so I thought that was cool as a kid.

Still not sure where "darkest Peru" is, though. Maybe the Amazon?

No but close enough.

Ah that sucks. I love Paddington.

Nothing wrong with dying at 91. If he died at 41, that would suck.

Here's the Paddington Bear cartoon I grew up with, on ye ancient BBC.

Yeah the stop motion Paddington. I remember.

I remember my mom got me a small jar of marmalade as a kid because of Paddington Bear.

They showed us some Paddington Bear episodes on VHS in the 4th grade for whatever reason. I'm fairly sure that was the last time I saw the TV show.

91 is a good age

Where is it?

>>93513069
The movie sucked

>>93513069
On the one hand that's sad to hear, but on the other few people live up to 91 years.
I can't say I've seen a lot of Paddington, bit what I have seen was fun and nice to watch.

RIP

f bear dude

>He lived just long enough to see the shitty live-action cash-grab Paddington movie

I thought that show was really dull as a kid.

It was British.

You have to grade those sorts of things on a curve when it comes to excitement.

Here's hoping that Paddington 2 is/does alright.

I'll have some toast and strawberry jam for breakfast.

British humor is a little dry for American tastes.
