This Weeks Studdy - As Master Sees Me! by G. E. Studdy
Studdy dog shortly after his complete evolution into Bonzo. The dog is turning away in disgust from his owners portrait of him, painted in the style of Picasso. 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 Weeks Study - As Master Sees Me!" is a historical snapshot of the evolution of George Ernest Studdy's iconic creation, Bonzo. The image captures the moment when Studdy's beloved dog transforms into the famous character known and loved by millions worldwide. In this print, we see Bonzo turning away in disgust from a portrait painted in the style of Picasso by his owner.
Studdy, who first introduced Bonzo to the world in 1922 through the Sketch, created a craze that swept across nations with postcards, annuals, toys, and other merchandise featuring his lovable character. Before Bonzo became a household name, Studdy's early cartoon dogs were simply referred to as the "Studdy Dog" until readers demanded a proper name for him.
The artist also produced a large body of work for the Sketch before and after creating Bonzo, including another memorable character named Ooloo the cat. Bruce Ingram, editor of ILN (Illustrated London News), suggested the immortal moniker "Bonzo" for Studdy's endearing creation.
This print not only showcases an important moment in art history but also highlights Studdy's talent and creativity that brought joy to countless people around the world.
