Biffo the Bear

Biffo the Bear is a fictional character who had his own comic strip in the British comic The Beano. Biffo is an anthropomorphic bear resembling Mickey Mouse who gained the front cover of the comic starting from issue 327, dated 24 January 1948, replacing Big Eggo. This page is reprinted in "The Dandy and The Beano: More From the First Fifty Years", the second of the Golden Years (later 60 Years) series. His human friend Buster appeared with him later in the 1950s. A story reprinted in Classics from the Comics in August 2008 was titled Biffo and Buster. This was a full page, from 1957. As Biffo was the cover star at the time, and Buster's name was never in the title, this must be from The Beano Book 1957, not an issue of the comic.
