Included Content & Story ContextThe book functions as a chronological history of the strip\'s prime era under Bancks\' direction. Rather than a single long-form narrative story, the pages reproduce the weekly Sunday newspaper comic strips that originally ran in Sydney\'s The Sun and syndicated papers across Australia.The humor revolves around slice-of-life episodic capers, schoolyard rivalries with his nemesis Tiger Kelly, avoiding the neighborhood bully, dodging chores, and getting into trouble around his hometown.
