Humphrey B. Bear's BIG COMEBA

KEEPING UP WITH THE KIDS, THE AUSTRALIAN ICON IS NOW A YOUTUBE SENSATION

- Glen Williams

His straw boater hat, yellow tie and tartan waistcoat might still be the same, but there's one huge difference about Humphrey B. Bear these days - he's a social media star! Indeed, almost 60 years after he first found fame, the popular TV character is now entertaining children via his very own YouTube channel.

"Humphrey is so excited about sharing his love for learning, dancing and all types of adventures," says Kris Maric, one of Humphrey's guardians.

"With 80 per cent of kids' content in Australia being watched on YouTube, Humphrey thought what better place for him to show off his furry face! After all, Humphrey has entertained and educated children in 55 languages worldwide."

Kris adds: "Humphrey is so excited to expand globally again, and share his funny and timeless adventures with a new audience."
