Dear, Dear, Dear! by G. E. Studdy
Early illustration by G. E. Studdy during World War I, showing a soldier (standing) speaking to a older lady on a London bus or tube train. George Ernest Studdy (1878-1948), was the creator of Bonzo, a small dog with saucer-like eyes and indiscriminate breeding who first appeared in the Sketch in 1922. The Bonzo craze swept the world resulting in postcards, annuals, toys and other merchandise. Studdy also produced a large body of work for the Sketch before and after Bonzo including his later creation, Ooloo the cat. His early cartoon dogs were simply known as the Studdy Dog until readers demanded a name and Bruce Ingram, the ILN editor, suggested his immortal moniker.

EDITORS COMMENTS
is an early and poignant illustration by renowned British cartoonist, George Ernest Studdy (1878-1948), created during World War I. In this heartfelt scene, a soldier, standing tall and resplendent in his military uniform, engages in a heartfelt conversation with an older lady on a London bus or tube train. The tender moment of connection between the two, amidst the chaos and uncertainty of the war, underscores the universal human need for companionship and comfort. Studdy, the creator of Bonzo, the small dog with saucer-like eyes and an indiscriminate breeding, first appeared in The Sketch in 1922. The Bonzo craze that ensued swept the world, resulting in an abundance of merchandise, including postcards, annuals, toys, and other collectibles. However, Studdy's artistic prowess extended far beyond Bonzo, as evidenced by his large body of work for The Sketch before and after Bonzo's inception. His later creation, Ooloo the cat, further showcased his ability to capture the essence of animals and their human counterparts. Studdy's early cartoon dogs were simply referred to as the Studdy Dog until readers clamored for a name. Bruce Ingram, the editor of the Illustrated London News (ILN), suggested the immortal moniker that would come to define Studdy's most famous creation. With a career spanning over five decades, Studdy's work continues to resonate with audiences, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring power of art to touch our hearts. This historical illustration is part of the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, a leading provider of high-quality images for commercial and editorial use.
