Footrot Flats is back! This 160-page treasury is all about sports but includes far more than the classic rugby and cricket cartoons - The Dog takes to the netball court, Wal tries his hand at waterskiing, and much more. Selected by author and illustrator Murray Ball, these cartoons are sure to delight old fans and new alike. Includes 32 colour cartoon pages.
Murray Ball was born in Manawatu. He spent the early part of his life in New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. After being employed as a staff cartoonist on newspapers in New Zealand he worked as a freelance cartoonist in the UK. He returned to New Zealand in 1974 and created his best known cartoon strip, Footrot Flats. He lived with his wife on a farm on the outskirts of Gisborne until he passed away in 2017.
