Punch cartoons by Fougasse (Kenneth Bird)

"What are the Olympic games, father?" "They are international athletic competitions, my son, open to all countries, with the object of stimulating mutual friendship and goodwill." "How do they do that, father?" "By bringing together representatives of all nations, my son, in friendly rivalry, free from ulterior motives, and all inspired with one single, simple aim." "What aim is that, father?" "To beat the pants off everybody else, my son."
