EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1920s in Portsmouth. The image captures a heartwarming scene of sailor volunteers carrying the beloved pets Pip, Squeak, and Wilfred's house to its designated spot on the Town Hall steps. These furry friends had gained quite a reputation as characters in "The Daily Mirror" strip cartoon. On that eventful day of August 5th, 1921, Pip, Squeak, and Wilfred were met with an uproarious reception from an enthusiastic crowd. As they made their way through the bustling streets of Hampshire's coastal city, these adorable animals found solace in their dedicated sailor guards who ensured their safety amidst the chaos. This photograph not only showcases the enduring popularity of these charming animal characters but also highlights the deep connection between humans and their pets. It reminds us of how even during tumultuous times like those faced by society in the early 20th century, simple joys such as comic strips and beloved animal companions brought people together. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but feel grateful for moments like these that transcend generations. They serve as a reminder that amidst life's challenges and uncertainties, there will always be room for laughter and love – whether it be through cartoons or our cherished four-legged friends.
