Biography[]
Raffish Ralph, known as Ralph Ripoff in the books, is the secondary antagonist of the Berenstain Bears 1985 cartoon, as well as some of the books. He is a swindler, constantly finding some way to con people out of their money. He's working with Weasel McGreed and Mayor Horace Honeypot frequently. And what's more, he is trying to dupe Papa Bear at all times. He did not appear in the 2003 tv show like many of the other characters.
Personality[]
Raffish Ralph can be very dangerous, as he has the personality of an Attorney, Car Salesman, Physician, and Politician all at the same time. Teacher Jane and Officer Marguerite do not trust him. Big Paw, Farmer Ben, and Queen Nectar eventually do not trust him as well. However, The Bear Family, particularly Mama Bear, insists that the cubs not judge anybody, and he has lots of powerful friends. Raffish Ralph enjoys scheming so much that it makes him happy. His worst fear is if he runs out of schemes.
