English: Clifford Berryman is credited with introducing the teddy bear into the American vernacular after President Theodore Roosevelt famously refused to shoot an old, haggard bear during a hunting trip. Berryman changed the old bear into a cute, cuddly "teddy bear" -- named for the President -- and it became a common symbol in Berryman's cartoon. This cartoon shows a self-portrait of Berryman drawing his famous teddy bear.
