When did Smokey the Bear become Smokeybear?
and why? It sounds so stupid. Does that mean Woodsy the Owl is gonna come back as Woodsyowl? And McGruff the Crime Dog will now be McGruff: Crime Dog. Winnie the Pooh will now be Winniepooh.

This comic from 1960 presents him as Smokey "THE" Bear. The "the" wasn't needed for any song lyrics either. I've known him my entire life as "Smokey the Bear" and I would bet a public opinion poll would produce similar results.

His name was and is Smokey Bear. In 1952 songwriters added the 'the' to keep the rhythm consistent. However, his name was always Smokey Bear
