Yesterday, I completed an interview with Frances Whiting, a journalist from Brisbane's Courier-Mail. As part of the exercise, I was asked to name my five favourite Australian comic or comic-strip artists/cartoonists. An impossible task! I told Frances it was like naming my favourite child...and then, after we finished our conversation, I told her I would probably want to change my mind and add someone to the list (and then have to take someone off the list). Still, not being one to shirk my responsibilities, here are the five I shared....
1. John Dixon 2. Syd Miller 3. Gary Clark 4. Monty Wedd 5. Eric Jolliffee There's no guarantee that the list would appear in the article, she told me, but we'll see when her story appears in the newspaper...next Saturday! |
