The Seven Good Deeds of Bonzo
The Seven Good Deeds of Bonzo: Thursdays Good Deed: Bonzo saves the sixpence, but spoils the pudding. George Ernest Studdy (1878-1948), was the creator of Bonzo, a small dog with saucer-like eyes and indiscriminate breeding who first appeared in the Sketch in 1922. The Bonzo craze swept the world resulting in postcards, annuals, toys and other merchandise. Studdy also produced a large body of work for the Sketch before and after Bonzo including his later creation, Ooloo the cat. His early cartoon dogs were simply known as the Studdy Dog until readers demanded a name and Bruce Ingram, the ILN editor, suggested his immortal moniker.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures the mischievous antics of Bonzo, the beloved small dog creation of British artist George Ernest Studdy. First introduced to the world in the Sketch magazine in 1922, Bonzo quickly became an international sensation, inspiring a craze that led to the production of postcards, annuals, toys, and other merchandise. With his saucer-like eyes and indiscriminate breeding, Bonzo was unlike any other canine character of the time. In this particular illustration, titled "Thursdays Good Deed: Bonzo saves the sixpence, but spoils the pudding," Bonzo is shown saving a sixpence, a significant amount of money during that era, only to accidentally spoil the pudding with it. The sixpence is seen rolling into a pot of pudding, causing chaos and destruction in the kitchen. Studdy's early cartoon dogs were simply known as the Studdy Dog until readers demanded a name. Bruce Ingram, the editor of the Illustrated London News, suggested the name Bonzo, which stuck and became the dog's immortal moniker. Studdy's body of work for the Sketch before and after Bonzo, including his later creation, Ooloo the cat, showcased his remarkable talent and versatility as an artist. This delightful print is a testament to Studdy's ability to capture the humor and mischief of everyday life through the antics of his beloved canine creation.
