EDITORS COMMENTS
In this witty and humorous cartoon by H.M. Bateman, titled "The New Colonel," we witness the arrival of a young, business-like, and rather intellectual Colonel at a prestigious military club. The old guard, composed of seasoned officers with traditional military bearing, observe him with some reservation. The new Colonel, who is engrossed in a book, appears oblivious to the suspicious glances and hushed whispers of the older men around him. The cartoon masterfully captures the essence of the clash between the old and the new, the traditional and the modern, the established and the up-and-coming. The older officers, with their cigars clenched between their fingers and their stern expressions, embody the stereotypical image of military officers of the time. They represent the old boys' network, a society that values tradition and seniority above all else. The new Colonel, on the other hand, is a breath of fresh air. He is young, smart, and intellectual, with a commanding presence that demands respect. He is engrossed in a book, a clear sign of his intellectual pursuits, and his business-like demeanor suggests that he is a man of action. The older officers' suspicious glances and whispers reveal their jealousy and suspicion towards the new Colonel. They fear that he will disrupt their exclusive club and challenge their dominance. Bateman's use of humor and amusement adds an extra layer to the cartoon, making it a delightful commentary on the human condition and the dynamics of power and status. Overall, "The New Colonel" is a timeless piece of art that continues to resonate with audiences today. It is a reminder that change is inevitable, and that those who embrace it often face resistance from those who cling to the past. Bateman's masterful use of humor and observation makes this cartoon a must-see for anyone interested in military history, cartoon art, or simply a good laugh.
