Paperback. First Edition. Essendon, Printed and Published by Philip Frederick Jones for The Herald and Weekly Times Limited, [1956]. Large oblong octavo, 48 pages with an illustrated foreword and 47 pages of comic strips (plus the wrappers with advertisements on three sides). Saddle-stapled colour-pictorial title-wrappers a litt…le creased and chipped, with some short sealed tears; foot of the spine split; minimal signs of age and use; overall, a very presentable copy. Stanley Cross (1888-1977) 'created perhaps Australia's best-known cartoon, known by its caption "For Gorsake, stop laughing - this is serious". His art portrayed typical Australians, from farmers to jackaroos, doctors and diggers. For The Herald in Melbourne, he created the adventures of Wally and the Major in a comic strip syndicated for decades in Australia, New Zealand and Fiji and celebrated in 18 annual books from 1943 to 1960. His name is perpetuated in the annual Black and White Artists' Club Stanley Awards' (the 'Australian Media Hall of Fame' website). In 1939, 'Cross was asked to create a newly daily strip, and he started his most popular strip, "The Winks" on 20 April 1940. For the first three months, the strip employed a domestic comedy theme and was basically a toned down version of "You & Me". The characters "Mr Wink" reflected the role of Mr Potts, while the tall, thin, long-faced character was similar to "Whalesteeth". In the initial stages, the characters were given their own weekly strip, "Tidley Winks & Wally". "The Winks" was only moderately popular until Cross decided to change the strip's direction and take the main characters into the Army. Mr Winks became Major Winks on 15 July 1940 and the strip was renamed Wally and the Major. Over the next thirty years . readers were able to enjoy the extraordinary, knock-about adventures and lifestyle of Private Wally Higgins, Major Winks, Pudden Bensen, and a company of comedy players - in the army in World War II and, afterwards, on their North Queensland sugarcane plantation' (Wikipedia).

We need not have worried, however, for the same antipathy to tedium or hard work or something that took them into the ranks of the brave has again led them to the frontiers - the frontiers of civilisation' (read, northern Australia).

In the initial stages, the characters were given their own weekly strip, "Tidley Winks & Wally". "The Winks" was only moderately popular until Cross decided to change the strip's direction and take the main characters into the Army. Mr Winks became Major Winks on 15 July 1940 and the strip was renamed Wally and the Major. Over the next thirty years . readers were able to enjoy the extraordinary, knock-about adventures and lifestyle of Private Wally Higgins, Major Winks, Pudden Bensen, and a company of comedy players - in the army in World War II and, afterwards, on their North Queensland sugarcane plantation' (Wikipedia).

Softcover/Paperback. Condición: Very Good. First Edition. Eighteen vols., a complete set of the annual adventures of the main characters from Tidley Winks & Wally after their enlistment in the Home Front Army for World War Two, transformation into Major Winks, Private Pudden Benson (the major's batman), Private Wally Higgins and… Australian comic history immortality. The trio, along with a rich supporting cast, shirk official duties, really any form of work, and, as soon as the War is over, head to a North Queensland sugarcane plantation, 'the frontiers of civilisation', according to the 1947 issue. Their distaste for work continues, fondness for local intrigue intensifies. The subjects for their adventures, and targets for their prejudices, become American serviceman, farmers, indigenous people, women, marriage, even the Melbourne Olympics, before they are lured indoors and sedated by the arrival of television, like the rest of us, on the cover of the last issue. Pictorial wrappers, stapled. Some of the staples to the early volumes have rusted, otherwise all very good or better. The eighteen volumes. book.
