Can-Tankerous
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a classic cartoon by renowned British satirical artist Bruce Bairnsfather, published in The Bystander magazine in 1917 during the height of World War I. In this humorous and amusing depiction, Old Bill, Bairnsfather's iconic cartoon character, finds himself in a less-than-welcoming situation as he approaches the trenches with an oversized Turkish bath in tow, atop his clumsily maneuvered tank. The soldiers in the trenches, weary from the harsh realities of warfare on the Western Front, greet Old Bill's unexpected arrival with a mixture of incredulity and irritation. Their frosty reception is palpable in the sharp, witty dialogue and the exaggerated expressions on their faces. The cartoon masterfully captures the soldiers' frustration and exhaustion, as well as the absurdity of the situation. Bairnsfather's "Can-Tankerous" is a testament to the power of humor in the face of adversity. It provides a brief respite from the horrors of war, allowing us to connect with the soldiers' experiences and emotions. This historical cartoon is an invaluable piece of World War I history, offering a unique perspective on the lives of soldiers during this pivotal time in history. Bruce Bairnsfather's "Can-Tankerous" is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of World War I, cartoon art, or the human spirit's ability to find humor in even the most challenging circumstances. This humorous and entertaining cartoon is a poignant reminder of the resilience and camaraderie that sustained soldiers during the Great War.
