EDITORS COMMENTS
In this humorous cartoon by H.M. Bateman, titled "The Gun Who Picked up his Bird," we witness an etiquette blunder during a traditional English shoot. The scene depicts a group of gentlemen engaged in a day of game shooting, with their retrievers diligently fetching the fallen birds for them. However, one man, in a moment of arrogance or perhaps a desire for self-sufficiency, decides to retrieve his own bird instead. The expression on the face of the incensed retriever is priceless, as it stares at the man with disbelief and indignation. The other members of the shooting party look on in astonishment, their faces a mix of amusement and disapproval. Bateman's masterful use of line and form captures the essence of the moment, with the bloodstained bird in the man's hand adding a touch of the raw reality of the sport. This cartoon, created in 1932, is a testament to the enduring appeal of country pursuits and the humor that can be found in the unexpected twists and turns of everyday life.
