Welcome to the George Studdy and Bonzo web site

The name 'Bonzo' is as well known today as it was when he first appeared in 1922.  More than seventy five years later, he is still widely collected in postcards and figurines.  Why does this little dog remain so popular, and what is known about his background?  This site takes you through the history behind Bonzo, the famous cartoon character created by George Studdy.  There is a biography of the man himself, the transcript of an article by him from 1926, more info on Bonzo, an interview with the authors of the definitive book on Bonzo, and lots of lovely and rare pictures!

If you have any comments, questions, or just wish to chat about Bonzo or George Studdy please e-mail me, I'd welcome any feedback from fellow collectors / Bonzo nuts! 
Let me know if you have any items for trade or sale, or that you are desperately looking for - maybe I can help you!  I hope you enjoy your visit.
