EDITORS COMMENTS
is a classic and humorous cartoon by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather, published in The Bystander magazine in 1918 during the First World War. The image captures Old Bill, a character created by Bairnsfather, sternly lecturing his young friend Bert. Old Bill, a grizzled veteran with a no-nonsense attitude, is known for his down-to-earth wisdom and practical advice. In this particular scene, Old Bill is sitting in a chair with a stern expression on his face, while Bert stands before him with a confused look. Old Bill is holding a book and pointing a finger at Bert, exclaiming, "Don't you get pulling your cigarette-card stuff off on me! What the ell do you know about history? For instance, I bet you don't know that Romeo and Juliet was brought up by a she-wolf!" Bert, holding a pack of cigarette cards, looks surprised and slightly embarrassed. Old Bill's words are a reminder that there is more to life than frivolous pursuits, and that knowledge and education are valuable assets. The cartoon is a testament to the importance of learning from those with experience and wisdom, even if their methods may be unconventional. The image is a poignant reminder of the experiences of the First World War generation, and the lessons they imparted to the younger generation. The use of humor and satire in the cartoon makes it a timeless piece that continues to resonate with audiences today. The cartoon also highlights the role of magazines like The Bystander in providing entertainment and insight during a time of great upheaval and change. Overall, "Old Bill as the Instructor of Youth" is a valuable historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the past and the enduring power of storytelling.
