EDITORS COMMENTS
Forty Winks of Terror: Bonzo's Unforgettable Nightmare (1927) In this classic 1920s cartoon print, the beloved canine character Bonzo, created by renowned British artist George Studdy, is depicted in a humorous yet suspenseful scene. Bonzo, with his expressive eyes and playful demeanor, is shown getting cozy by the fireplace, seemingly ready for a peaceful slumber. However, as he drifts off to sleep, his imagination takes over, and he is plunged into a terrifying nightmare. In the dream, a monstrous rat or mouse looms over Bonzo, its menacing teeth poised to bite his nose. The cartoon character's eyes widen in fear, and he jolts awake, startled from his slumber. Upon regaining consciousness, Bonzo finds that his nose is not bitten but scorched from sleeping too close to the stove. This charming and amusing print, published in 1927, showcases the imaginative and humorous storytelling of George Studdy. The image captures the essence of the era, blending humor and history in a single frame. Bonzo's innocent and relatable predicament continues to resonate with audiences, making this print a delightful addition to any collection of historical cartoon art.
