Meet the staff of Teddy Bear Diary

Here’s a chance to get to know the dedicated staff at Butter Side Down that brings you Teddy Bear Diary. After an extensive search and review process we assembled the most talented teddy bears in the world. And after a careful review of our budget, we decided to go with these guys instead.

Bingle: Chief Editor

A bear of leisure.

Bingle oversees the day to day operations of Butter Side Down. He does this by letting everyone else do the work for him. To put a fine point on it, he’s noticed the word “Chief” is in his title and believes it is there for a good reason. Bingle is a bear of leisure and does not like work to cut into that.

Wally: Staff Enforcer

“Let me see your papers!”

Wally stomps about the office demanding, “Let me see your papers!” Any paper will do since he never looks at them. He bought a Junior Forest Ranger badge in Coronado National Forest and is darn proud of the status it accords him. Wally is fond of practical jokes and is forever playing office pranks. He recently convinced Tibbs that the power outlet was a knife holder. The smell of burning fur never seems to leave the office. Wally claims to be an expert bungie jumper.

Dudders: Science Advisor
Forever planning his next experiment, Dudders is fascinated by all things…no, really…everything. He thinks corn is very interesting. His unfinished research covers most of the office and most of it is unfinished because Wally keeps hiding his pencils. The other bears turn to him to solve technical issues both real and imagined. Not much gets solved, but everyone feels better in the end. Dudders loves Science Fiction and believes the other bears think he is cool and enjoy his Star Trek references.

Corn is very interesting.

Tibbs: Accounting

Tibbs can count anything.

Tibbs can count anything as long as it does not go higher than five. Since that is three more than most of the other teddy bears, he is in charge of accounting. His mind is like a steel trap and nothing escapes it. Tibbs claims that he does his best work while sleeping so you can usually find him working hard in his office hammock.

Dingle: Head of Promotions

“Go to the website!”

Dingle is Bingle’s cousin from the Ozarks. He promotes things for Butter Side Down. He recently promoted himself to Head of Promotions and is pondering the need for another promotion later in the year. He call’s random people on the phone and yells, “Go to the website!” then hangs up.

Dingle also started a letter-writing campaign. He got to letter “D” before getting bored and wandering off.

Sissy: Complaints and Collections

Don’t mess with Sissy.

Don’t mess with Sissy. She’s got ‘tude and is not afraid to share it. Sissy rules her department with an iron fist.  She also bites without warning.

Scott: Office Lackey and Coffee Boy

He's not too bright, but can make coffee.

Scott (right side in picture) makes the coffee and fetches things when needed. The bears suspect he is not very bright, but they humor him all the same.
