William Heath Robinson's 'A Cunning Stroke': A Humorous and Unsportsmanlike Contrivance for Channel Swimmers, 1927 In this whimsical illustration by the renowned British graphic artist and inventor, William Heath Robinson, we find a clever yet unsportsmanlike solution to the challenges of long-distance Channel swimming. The image depicts a swimmer, with an expression of determined focus, wearing an elaborate and amusing inflatable device. This contraption, designed by the gadget king himself, is intended to increase buoyancy and prevent fatigue among swimmers. Heath Robinson, known for his convoluted contraptions and wacky ideas, outdid himself with this inventive float. The swimmer's arms are encased in inflatable tubes, which appear to be connected to a complex network of valves and hoses. The hoses lead to a compact, waterproof control panel on the swimmer's waist, allowing them to inflate or deflate the tubes as needed. The humorous and comic nature of this invention is evident in the swimmer's exaggerated posture and the exaggerated size of the inflatable tubes, which seem to threaten to engulf him entirely. The underwater scene in the background, complete with a curious fish and an upside-down jellyfish, adds to the amusing and lighthearted tone of the illustration. Despite its unsportsmanlike nature, Heath Robinson's invention is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the artist. His ability to imagine and design such a convoluted contraption continues to inspire and delight audiences, making 'A Cunning Stroke' a timeless piece of comic art.
