About A Big Bowl Of Punch : A Heady Potpourri Of Cartoons, Prose And Verse From England's Famous Humorous Weekly

<p>Anglo‐American relations must grow cozier from Mr. Cole's shrewd demonstration that Punch is funny for Americans. Of course, exception should be taken to a few attempts to be funny about us.</p><p>Putting those gaffes aside, there is delightful fooling from the first cartoon onward. That one, by Gerald Scarfe, reveals that when Napoleon began the freezing march back from burning Moscow a soldier trotted out of line to build a cheerfully abominable snowman. The first story, by Patrick Ryan, illustrates why it is a mistake to give coffee to a somnolent drunk, the author being stretched on a pub floor by a right bolo to the chin as he considers the point.</p><p>Scarfe and Ryan set the pace for Punch artists, story‐tellers and poets—all of them with a fast foot but under wraps.</p><p>However, the enigmas of their English still appear. Ryan has an old prize fighter say of his career: “I fecht ’em all.” No one but a native of the British Isles could even hear an Englishman say such a word, and only a British journal would print it. Is this the language we have jointly fecht to preserve?</p>
