Response to the Rupert revelation from Seán Manchester (as found on the forum):
"Ramsey Campbell (born 1946) would have been less than two years' old when he received his Rupert annual at Christmas 1947; so I am not entirely convinced that a toddler as young as that would be quite so disturbed by one of the most enduring and well-loved children’s characters in British fiction who made his first appearance in the Daily Express on 8 November 1920. Rupert enjoys a safe, cosy home life. He has doting parents who are supportive of him in everything that he does, no matter how daring or dangerous, and who only get mildly anxious when he comes back late from one of his expeditions. Rupert has been delighting generations of children for over eighty years. Indeed, I remain enchanted by the character whose calendar containing monthly vintage annual images is always on my Christmas list."
