It was usually considered pretty namby pamby stuff targeted at young children. After all, “Winnie the Pooh” could hardly be called irreverent. One would imagine that writing a comic strip about the silly ‘ol bear would be pretty tame stuff. I do know that he brought a very special cartoon sensibility to the Walt Disney Publishing Department and we were all the better for having him here. How we managed to get Don to migrate to Disney I’ll never know. You’re probably familiar with “Rocky and Bullwinkle,” Dudley Doright” and many of the other Jay Ward creations. It was not surprising since his previous job was working with Jay Ward, a zany animation production company that thrived during the early sixties. In a 2015 blog post, animator Floyd Norman reflected on the style of his colleague, Don Ferguson:ĭon Ferguson had a unique sense of humor. The comic has been noted by critics for the characterization of Winnie the Pooh, who is sometimes demanding, thoughtless and insulting to his friends. Pooh remarks, "I sure wish Sir Brian would get himself a sweat suit for his early-morning jogging!"-implying that this is a regular occurrence that Pooh has already tired of. In fact, in that first strip, Pooh is awoken early in the morning by a terrible clattering noise and, in the last panel, he looks out the window and observes Sir Brian jogging in his suit of armor. No explanation is given for how Sir Brian ended up in the Hundred Acre Wood and became friends with Winnie the Pooh. Sir Brian is introduced in the first strip, on June 19 the Dragon appears in the third strip, on June 21. To the established cast of characters, Ferguson and Moore (along with Willie Ito who helped develop the strip) added Sir Brian and his dragon, inspired by characters from Milne's poetry.
