EDITORS COMMENTS
Towed by a Swan: A Playful Moment in Henry's Day by Carl Anderson (1936) This delightful and whimsical cartoon by American artist Carl Anderson, titled "Towed by a Swan," captures the humorous side of a simple day at the park for young Henry. Dressed in a striped shirt and shorts, Henry sits on the edge of a lake or pond, his legs dangling in the water. A swan, amused by the boy's presence, has attached a rope to its neck and is playfully towing him across the water. Henry, surprised and slightly annoyed, clings to the edge, trying to maintain his balance. In the background, a park keeper looks on with a disapproving expression, shaking his head. Henry's cigarette dangles from his lips, and a playing card is visible in his hand, adding to the carefree and lighthearted atmosphere of the scene. Created in 1936, this charming cartoon is a perfect representation of the innocence and joy of childhood, as well as the unexpected moments of humor that can be found in everyday life. Anderson's use of simple lines and bold shapes, combined with his keen sense of observation and wit, make this a beloved classic from the 1930s. Whether you're a fan of cartoons, comedy, or just looking for a moment of cheer, "Towed by a Swan" is sure to bring a smile to your face.
