flook in the perth daily news april 1952

So... Tuesday 1 April is missing, I can't explain it. 








This was 11 April - issue missing here. However, it doesn't seem to make any difference to the numbering/narrative. 















All in all a pretty satisfying narrative, though it's hard to get into the mindset of a strip a day. So readers would be able to remember where they were up to as the story inched slowly forwards? It takes about 5 minutes to read all 24 strips, a month's worth.

Fawkes is absolutely top of his game with these drawings - it's extraordinary to think of how much work he must have put into this. It's a shame that with Trove (which is where I'm sourcing these) you can only screenshot (screenshoot?) the images which I think makes them a little less crisp, but of course you can still appreciate how good the work is...

More in a month.

You know what they say about cats and dogs, well, do they say cats like to be in the sunshine and dogs like to be in the shadows? I hope so ...
