but can’t I ever get a picture taken
without the fucking bear?”
  
  

Michael Bond
Author, Brit, “big deal” in the OBE.
13 January 1926 – 27 June 2017.
Aged 91 years.

Most recognized for: A published author for an impressive 59 years, Mr. Bond’s most lucrative work lies in the Paddington Bear children’s book series. The Brits so love their little duffel coat-wearing, marmalade-addicted ursine, that the Queen dubbed Mr. Bond ‘Commander of the Order of the British Empire’ in 2015. OOOOHHH! Fancy titles & shiny neck wear doled out by the enfeebled figurehead of a powerless monarchy.  PPHHTPTPT!!!
