How the Deuce Did This Happen?: A Surprised Bonzo and His First View of the Bonzolines In this charming and iconic image by George Ernest Studdy, the mischievous and beloved character Bonzo, a small dog with saucer-like eyes and indiscriminate breeding, is seen taking in the sight of his numerous offspring, the Bonzolines, for the first time. The scene unfolds in a cozy barn setting, where Bonzo, who had become an international sensation by 1923, is taking a peaceful nap in a large straw-filled box. The sudden arrival of his brood, all curled up and asleep around him, comes as a delightful surprise, leaving Bonzo with a look of wonder and disbelief. Bonzo, who first appeared in The Sketch magazine in 1922, quickly captured the hearts of people around the world. The Bonzo craze that followed resulted in an extensive range of merchandise, including postcards, annuals, toys, and other collectibles. This photograph, taken on May 2, 1923, captures a moment of pure joy and amazement from the life of this beloved character and his ever-growing family. George Ernest Studdy, the creator of Bonzo, skillfully conveys the playful and endearing nature of his creation, making this image a must-have for any Bonzo enthusiast or collector of 1920s ephemera. The scene is a testament to the universal appeal of the humble dog and the joy that comes from the unexpected arrival of new life.
