Graeme Cliffe showed stills from the following film clip to fellow Australian comic historian John Clements a little while ago. I also shared it with Jan (see previous post). No-one seems to be able to identify all the Australian cartoonists in the film, so I shall post this here again, in the hope that one day someone may see it and recognise a loved one or relative or friend and thus identify the unknow bloke towards the end of the film. Those we do know: Jim Russell, John Dixon and Bob Clark. Jan confirmed that Keith Chatto was the cameraman. The artwork in the earlier sequence of the film was by Stanley Pitt, whose work John Ryan famously championed... |
Comicoz is Nat Karmichael's publishing imprint. Nat is committed to preserving a permanent collection of Australian comic and comic strips. He feels that there is a need to recognise comics' contribution to and depiction of Australian culture.
Nat Karmichael.
In 2024, the Australian Cartoonists Association bestowed Nat the honour of The Jim Russell Award for his "outstanding contribution to Australian cartooning". He is available for public speaking. Since 2011, Nat has self-published over twelve comic-related books and many more comics. He is presently the Membership Secretary of the Australian Cartoonists Association. He is the Lead Judge in the Ledger of Honour Awards for the Comic Arts Awards of Australia (formerly the Ledgers). Nat has now retired and spends most of his time with his long-suffering wife, occasionally seeing their six children and fourteen grandchildren. He still plans to publish more comics and comic-related books, the details of which you should see here on this website in the coming months... Comicoz acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay respects to elders, past, present, and emerging, and extend that respect to all First Nations peoples.
