November 16, 1902, after President Teddy Roosevelt refuses to
kill a tied-up bear during a hunting trip, Washington Post
political cartoonist Clifford Berryman satirized the event by
drawing a cute fuzzy teddy bear. Morris Michtom and his wife
soon decided to create a stuffed bear as a children's toy,
calling it "Teddy's Bear."
