was a long-running
Comic Strip in the
UK Comic ''
The Beano ''. It made its first appearance in issue 881, dated
6 June 1959 , drawn by
Leo Baxendale at first and
Bob McGrath later on.
Ma and Pa
Bear and their young son Ted were lazy and gluttonous, and lived in a cave upon a hill. Most storylines revolved around their attempts to steal "grub" from the local storekeeper Hank. Originally disappearing from the comic after issue 2253, dated
21 September 1985 , the strip has returned to The Beano several times since then, re-appearing in issues 2391 and 2674 (dated
14 May 1988 and
16 October 1993 ).
Its most recent re-appearance was in
2000 , when, after being a 'Guest Star' since the previous year, it was voted into the comic by Beano readers, beating
Tricky Dicky ,
Inspector Horse And Jocky and
Gordon Bennett . This time it was drawn by
Mike Pearse .
