In this playful depiction, Studdy's beloved character Bonzo the Dog is shown at the dining table, attempting to help save water during the 1920s water shortage. Instead of drinking from a jug, Bonzo is seen tipping it over and spilling the water onto a messy table spread with teacups and saucers. To avoid using water for a drink, Bonzo has opted for an alternative - a bowl of milk. However, his mischievous nature gets the better of him as he knocks over the jug, creating a messy scene. The title, "You Simply Must Save Water," adds a sense of urgency and importance to the situation, while the caption beneath reads, "Bonzo drinks milk instead."
