A Whimsical Ride: Superstition and the Unfortunate Uncle by A.E. Bestall (1892-1986) In this delightful cartoon by A.E. Bestall, a young woman confidently assures her skeptical uncle of her driving skills as they embark on a picturesque countryside journey. With a nonchalant expression, she turns to her passenger, insisting, "Don't worry, Uncle, I've driven this route hundreds of times!" Her attention, however, is diverted from the road ahead by a road sign, leaving both her and her uncle in for a shock. Bestall, a prolific artist, is best known for his thirty-year tenure as the illustrator of Rupert Bear, a beloved British children's comic strip. Prior to this, he produced over forty color illustrations for The Tatler, a prestigious British magazine, as well as countless humorous line drawings and cartoon sketches. This particular work, created in 1929, showcases Bestall's knack for injecting humor into everyday situations. The image, titled "Superstition," captures the essence of human nature and the unpredictability of life. The young woman's overconfidence and the road sign's deceptive appearance serve as a reminder that even the most experienced among us can be taken by surprise. The sign, with its ominous warning, adds an element of suspense and intrigue to the scene. As the duo tumbles head-over-heels from the vehicle, the viewer is left with a chuckle and a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. Bestall's artistic talent and ability to capture the human condition in a humorous light continue to endure, making "Superstition" a cherished addition to any collection of vintage cartoons.
