The Australian Cartoonists Association have instituted a 'Hall of Fame', which Comicoz 100% supports. They are presently actively seeking Nominations (with nominations closing on September 30th 2011). Never being one to shirk a challenge, I thought I would throw my two bob's worth in and suggest someone who I think meets their Guidelines for Nomination... I won't include the written Guidelines here, but I thought I could give all you Comicoz Web-Readers clues as to which Australian I have nominated. Most people may assume that I am fairly John Dixon-centric in my thinking, so I thought this might be an opportunity to show just the opposite! I have no idea who the Selection Panel may ultimately choose, but see if you can work out who I have nominated...
And why don't we make this interesting?! The first person to correctly identify who this is gets to nominate a Friend or Relative to win an Autographed copy of the First Volume of John Dixon, Air Hawk and the Flying Doctor!
