Title: Turkey hunting in the Old Dominion / Berryman.
Creator(s): Berryman, Clifford Kennedy, 1869-1949, artist
Date Created/Published: [1906 Nov. 3]
Summary: Comic strip shows Theodore Roosevelt, in hunting gear, petting two turkeys that have been tied to pegs in the ground. The President says, 'I'm on!' The turkeys say, 'Discovered.' The cartoonist's signature small bear looks on. A sign on a tree reads 'Posted! Pine Knot Preserve.' In November 1906, President Roosevelt went hunting at his lodge, Pine Knot, hoping to shoot a wild turkey for the first time. His neighbors played a joke on him, turning a flock of domestic turkeys into the area, but the President discovered the trick. The joke was inspired by the famous occasion when the President refused to shoot a small bear that had been tied to a tree. Berryman published a cartoon the next day in the Washington Post, showing Roosevelt defending the bear. The cartoon became the stuff of legend, the teddy bear was born, and Berryman used the small bear in his cartoons throughout his career.
