Who remembers the comic strip Trundle? Not many, I'd wager, given that it appeared in two Australian newspapers, and only ran for just over a year. Although it did not appear in any Brisbane newspaper, and I did not have opportunity to read it daily, it was (and remains) one of my all-time favourite comic strips. Created in late 1987 by Australian cartoonist Neil Matterson, Trundle was (to my mind) Neil's creative peak. Certainly Neil has created many strips that have lasted longer and appeared in more newspapers (St Pips, It's a Baby), but none that pushed the boundaries of the genre in this country quite like Trundle. Today, Comicoz is proud to announce that it will be publishing a volume of Trundle cartoons in the coming months. For those who have never seen the strips, you are in for a wonderful treat. For those who do recall, you can once again get lost in the wonderful world of Trundle....
