DEUCE. Humorous Illustration showing Bonzo being disturbed by a flying tennis ball
Humorous Illustration showing Bonzo being disturbed by a flying tennis ball. 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
A Humorous Moment with Bonzo: The Indiscriminate Canine Star! This delightful illustration captures a moment of surprise and amusement from the world-famous Bonzo, the small dog with saucer-like eyes and an irrepressible spirit. Created by the brilliant British cartoonist George Ernest Studdy in 1922, Bonzo first graced the pages of The Sketch magazine and soon became an international sensation. In this playful scene, Bonzo, dressed in his Sunday best, lounges on a deck chair, seemingly at ease, as he enjoys a day at the tennis court. But just as he settles in for a peaceful rest, a rogue tennis ball, having taken a bounce or two too many, soars through the air and lands squarely on Bonzo's unsuspecting head. The look of shock and indignation on his saucer-like eyes is both hilarious and endearing. Studdy's Bonzo craze swept the world, resulting in a vast array of merchandise, including postcards, annuals, toys, and other collectibles. The artist's early cartoon dogs were simply known as the Studdy Dog, but it was Bruce Ingram, the editor of the Illustrated London News, who suggested the immortal moniker "Bonzo" that would become synonymous with this beloved character. Studdy's artistic talent extended beyond Bonzo, as evidenced by his later creation, Ooloo the cat, and his extensive body of work for The Sketch before and after Bonzo's debut. This humorous illustration is a testament to Studdy's ability to capture the unexpected and the absurd, making us laugh and smile in equal measure.
