The Vacuum - A Masterpiece
EDITORS COMMENTS
by H.M. Bateman is a brilliant sequential cartoon published in 1920, showcasing the humorous side of household chores and the unexpected consequences of modern technology. In this comic strip, Bateman masterfully depicts a man in a formal attire, standing in a well-appointed living room, as he calls out to his maid for assistance with a new electrical appliance - a vacuum cleaner. With a gleam of anticipation in her eyes, the maid eagerly approaches the device, ready to demonstrate her competence in the latest mod cons of housework. However, as she turns on the vacuum cleaner, the unsuspecting man is drawn into its powerful suction. The chaos that ensues is a testament to the unintended havoc wreaked by the seemingly innocuous cleaning device. The man's clothing, hat, and even his pet cat are sucked up into the vacuum cleaner, leaving the maid in a state of shock and amusement. The once orderly living room is transformed into a scene of hilarious disarray, with the man dangling helplessly in the midst of the chaos. Bateman's use of exaggerated expressions and impeccable attention to detail add to the amusing and silly nature of the cartoon, making it a timeless piece of humour that continues to resonate with audiences even today. This brilliant work of art by H.M. Bateman is a testament to the power of humour and the unexpected twists that life can bring. The Vacuum: A Masterpiece is a must-see for anyone who appreciates the absurdity of everyday life and the power of a good laugh. Date: 1920 Artist: H.M.
