EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful illustration by George Ernest Studdy, titled 'Bonzo Takes the Fly,' we find our beloved canine character, Bonzo, in a rather unexpected fishing adventure. With a mischievous glint in his saucer-like eyes, Bonzo has managed to get a fisherman's hook caught on his ear, much to the amusement of the Bonzolines - Bonzo's offspring - who are seen in the background, laughing and pointing at their father's predicament. The scene is set in the 1920s, a time when the Bonzo craze was sweeping the world, and this humorous illustration was first published in The Sketch on May 23, 1923. The Bonzo phenomenon resulted in an abundance of merchandise, including postcards, annuals, toys, and other collectibles. This charming print, featuring the indiscriminately bred pup with his distinctive saucer eyes, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Bonzo and his antics.
