Bonzo the Dog

Bonzo the Dog is a fictional cartoon character first created in 1922 by British comic strip artist George Studdy.

Other "Studdy Dogs" had previously appeared in The Sketch, Pearson's Magazine, Bemrose Prints, Bystander, Holly Leaves, and Tatler.

He had big blue eyes and expressive ears which communicated his feeling to the audience through either film or sketch.

Merchandise was mass-produced and manufactured not only in Bonzo's home country of England, but also in America, Austria, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, and the Netherlands.

[2] Some of the major merchandising campaigns include: Dean and Son's annuals and other books, Valentine & Sons postcards (approximately 500), the Artisco series of plaster figures, badges and pins, celluloid figures, Chad Valley and Steiff stuffed toys, Cowan & McKay toffee tins, Royal Grafton China, Royal Worcester and Royal Doulton figures, German and Japanese produced ceramics and most recently The Richard Dennis China Collection.
