Never saw or heard of winnie the poo.
Quit wasting my time on comics when I was 6 in 1943.
Not comics. Books, by Milne. Very good ones too.
I read them to my little ones, (more for my enjoyment then theirs); and now they are reading them to their little ones.
That’s really sad that you didn’t know of Winnie-the-pooh when Milne released the book 11 years before you were born and Sleslinger bringing Pooh and his friends to life in the early 30’s in the US. So when you were growing up would have been during their first wave of popularity.
The second wave would have been in the 60’s when Disney took over. If you were in your late 20’s/early 30’s then, and had children, it is indeed sad again that you never encountered the 100 acre forest.
Either way, Winnie-the-Pooh and all the characters associated with him are indelibly etched on the minds of the overwhelming majority of Americans. It is part of our enjoined culture across racial, social and generational lines.
Sad that you don’t have that connection.
"Winnie the Pooh" (not poo) is classic British children's literature, not a comic book character. The first book of the "Winnie the Pooh" series was published in 1926.
Expressions from the book are iconic enough to appear in common writing today; expressions such as , "Don't be an Eeyore". There was even a book written called "The Tao of Pooh" which reflected on the philosophy of what Pooh said; much of which was humorous on the surface, but definitely contained a deeper philosophical meaning.
“If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.” “Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known.” “Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.” “Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering.” “It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?"”
The last quote is straight out of Tao; not doing is doing.
