EDITORS COMMENTS
George Ernest Studdy's illustration, "Saturdays Good Deed: Bonzo gives the fattened Christmas turkey a little exercise," published in The Sketch on December 19, 1923, captures a whimsical moment from the popular series, "The Seven Good Deeds of Bonzo." In this charming vignette, Bonzo, the mischievous terrier, confronts a plump and unsuspecting Christmas turkey, who is calmly resting on the floor. With a playful grin, Bonzo encourages the bird to join him in a bit of exercise, nudging it gently with his snout. The contrast between the thin, agile Bonzo and the rotund, stationary turkey adds to the amusing scene. Studdy's illustration is a delightful representation of the lighthearted spirit of the holiday season during the 1920s. The era, known for its cultural and artistic vibrancy, is reflected in the intricate details of the illustration, from the ornate rug and fireplace to the elegant Christmas decorations adorning the room. The use of warm colors and soft shading further emphasizes the cozy and inviting atmosphere. The encounter between Bonzo and the turkey is not only a moment of innocent fun but also a reminder of the importance of doing good deeds, a theme that resonated with the readers of The Sketch during the holiday season. This illustration is a testament to Studdy's ability to capture the essence of a heartwarming story and bring it to life through his artistic talents. The image remains a beloved piece of holiday history and a reminder of the joy and mischief that the season can bring.
