The Colonel Who Found Nothing in his Christmas Pudding
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a humorous and satirical illustration by the renowned British artist, H.M. Bateman, created in 1936. The cartoon depicts a furious Colonel, dressed in full military regalia, standing in front of a large, steaming Christmas pudding. His face is contorted with rage, and his eyes bulge with anger as he declares, "I say, this is an outrage! I've found nothing in my Christmas pudding but a few raisins and a bit of candied peel. No sixpence, no lucky charm! I demand an explanation!" The scene takes place in a grand dining room, where a nervous-looking servant stands nearby, holding a plate and a silver spoon. Other servants in the background look on with concern, exchanging worried glances. The Colonel's outburst is causing quite a commotion, and it's clear that the entire household is on edge. Bateman's masterful use of line and form captures the Colonel's blustering fury perfectly. The Colonel's red face, puffed-out cheeks, and clenched fists convey his intense frustration, while the exaggerated perspective of the pudding and the servants adds to the comedic effect. This illustration is a classic example of Bateman's social satire, poking fun at the expectations and traditions of the British upper class during the 1930s. The Colonel's obsession with finding a lucky charm or sixpence in his Christmas pudding is a common superstition of the time, and his outrage at not finding one is both amusing and relatable. Overall, "The Colonel Who Found Nothing in his Christmas Pudding" is a delightful and humorous addition to any collection of vintage Christmas art.
