Attacked Beware Browne Bull Danger Dangerous Farmer Farmers Hedge Horns Injured Yokel Cropper Filly Vegetarianism
EDITORS COMMENTS
Beware of the Bull: Man comes a cropper, even though he professes to be a Vegetarian!" This humorous cartoon by Tom Browne, published in 1906, depicts a yokel farmer, dressed in white, with a surprised expression as he lies injured on the ground, his leg ensnared in the horns of an angry bull. The farmer, who is shown wearing a straw hat and holding a pitchfork, had just moments before boasted about his vegetarianism and his disdain for the dangerous animals that roamed the rural countryside. The scene unfolds before a white, wooden gate and a hedge, with a filly horse peering curiously from behind the gate. The farmer's predicament serves as a reminder of the inherent dangers that come with farming life, even for those who choose to abstain from consuming meat. Browne's use of humor and fun in this cartoon adds to the lightheartedness of the situation, making it an enjoyable and entertaining piece of art. Despite the farmer's injury, the cartoon does not convey a sense of seriousness or danger. Instead, it highlights the unexpected nature of rural life and the importance of respecting the animals that inhabit it. The bull, with its menacing horns and fierce expression, is a reminder of the power and unpredictability of nature. Overall, this Tom Browne cartoon is a delightful and humorous depiction of country life, with a cautionary tale at its core. It serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting the natural world, even for those who seek to distance themselves from it.
