Annual Balance Balancing Bonzo Bonzos Chicken Climb Climbing Cold Stories Strip Strips Tumble Tumbling Wasp Wasps
The Cold Chicken and the Hot Wasp
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a delightful and whimsical cartoon strip taken from the Bonzo Annual of 1935. This charming and historical piece features a playful interplay between a cold chicken and a hot wasp. The scene opens with a picture of a blue-and-white striped chicken, perched precariously on a small, icy branch, shivering in the cold. The chicken's beady eyes are wide with discomfort as it huddles against the frosty wind. Suddenly, a red and black striped wasp appears, buzzing with energy and warmth. The wasp, seemingly oblivious to the cold, lands on the branch next to the chicken and begins to climb up its feathers, much to the chicken's alarm. The next panel shows the chicken and the wasp engaged in a balancing act, with the wasp carefully making its way up the chicken's back, while the chicken tries to maintain its balance on the icy branch. The wasp's determination is evident as it climbs higher and higher, while the chicken's anxiety grows. Suddenly, the chicken loses its footing, and both it and the wasp tumble off the branch, plunging into the icy water below. But even in the freezing water, the wasp remains unperturbed, while the chicken shivers and splutters. The wasp, now perched on a nearby rock, offers the chicken a piece of honey to warm up. The chicken, grateful for the gesture, accepts the honey and begins to thaw out, its earlier fear forgotten. This heartwarming and amusing tale of friendship and warmth in the face of adversity is a testament to the enduring charm of classic cartoon strips. The Cold Chicken and the Hot Wasp is a delightful piece of animation history, and a reminder that even in the coldest of times, there is always a way to find warmth and companionship.
