It is cute. I suspect we don't always know about the teddy-bear collections people have. Sometimes collections you wouldn't expect....

Nice icon!

I've known one or 2.

It doesn't seem to be uncommon.

Do jpg teddy bears count? *g*

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

I can't imagine why they wouldn't!

There's a mystery series in which the husband [who was a cop or some such, iirc] retired & started collecting teddy bears. Then there's a murder at the teddy-bear con. I saw it in the library, but don't remember the title or author.

What a plot! Conventions are always good settings for murders. Mind you, even though I've seen this a few times in murder novels, I've never (thank goodness) encountered a real murder at a real convention.

Well, I've been to a few that I was sure would be the death of me.

;)

P. S. See also Asimov's _Murder At The ABA_.

I've been to a few that I was sure would be the death of me.

Yes, and a few where, where I got home, I wasn't sure if I was dead, half-dead, half-alive, or fully functional once again....
