EDITORS COMMENTS
A Moment of Friendship: Dunderpate and Susan on the Fence (1938) This image captures the essence of childhood friendship as Dunderpate, a young boy with a mischievous grin, and his friend Susan, a thoughtful and bookish girl, sit side by side on an old fence. The silhouette of the two friends against the warm orange and pink hues of the sunset sky creates a beautiful contrast, while the delicate details of their clothing and accessories transport us back to the 1930s. Dunderpate, with his ragged clothes and unkempt hair, is a stark contrast to Susan, who is dressed in a neat, long-sleeved blouse and a skirt, her hair neatly braided. Yet, their differences do not hinder their bond as they engage in a heartfelt conversation, their focus solely on each other. The fence, a simple prop, serves as a symbol of their shared moment, a boundary they have crossed to connect with one another. The book in Susan's hands suggests her love for education and learning, while Dunderpate's empty hands indicate his playful nature. This charming illustration, created in 1938, captures the innocence and simplicity of childhood friendships. It is a reminder that no matter the differences, true friendship transcends all barriers and brings joy and companionship to our lives.
