EDITORS COMMENTS
George Ernest Studdy's whimsical illustration, "Bonzo rides an Elephant: Who snatches away his bun in payment?" is a delightful snapshot of the mischievous antics of Bonzo the Dog, a beloved character created by Studdy in the 1920s. In this playful scene, Bonzo, dressed in a dapper red coat and top hat, sits confidently atop an elephant's back. The elephant, however, seems to have other plans as it reaches out with its trunk to snatch the bun that Bonzo is holding in his paws. The expression of surprise and shock on Bonzo's face adds to the humor of the situation, as he clings tightly to the elephant's neck in an attempt to keep his prized snack. This artwork was originally published in "The New Bonzo Book," a collection of comical stories featuring the adventures of Bonzo and his canine companions. Studdy's illustrations, with their charming detail and witty humor, captured the imagination of readers during the 1920s and continue to delight audiences today. This image is a testament to the enduring appeal of Studdy's work and the timeless joy of a good-natured prank.
