Not Really
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a classic and humorous cartoon by the renowned British satirical artist H.M. Bateman, published in 1920. The image captures a pivotal moment in the cartoon, as a man in a motorcar, en route to a Christmas lunch with a friend, suddenly hears a crunching sound beneath his vehicle. He stops the car and, to his surprise, finds a flattened figure on the ground behind him. The man, seemingly unfazed, reassures the onlooker, "You needn't cry, because you know it's just a film scenario." The scene is set against a wintry backdrop, with snow covering the ground and trees, adding to the whimsical and humorous tone of the cartoon. Bateman masterfully employs his distinctive style, using exaggerated proportions and intricate details to bring the characters and their predicament to life. The man's nonchalant expression and the goose's surprised and distorted form create a striking contrast, making for an amusing and lighthearted take on the common mishap of a car accident. This cartoon, titled "It happened thus one frosty day," is a testament to Bateman's ability to find humor in everyday situations and his keen observation of human nature. The image is a timeless piece that continues to delight and entertain viewers, making it a cherished addition to any collection of humorous art or cartoons. Bateman's "Not Really" is a reminder of the power of humor to lighten our moods and bring joy, even during the frosty and festive season. This and witty cartoon is a must-have for anyone seeking a touch of whimsy and amusement in their lives. Date: 1920 Artist: H.M.
