Once A Jolly Gagman: Ken CollieThe author talks mostly about people he claims to know, like his neighbours in his imaginary suburban street, Crawlie Crescent. And Maisie the Barmaid. His Uncle Duncan. And the everyday, absurd family events that were a part of the Australian suburban landscape of the sixties. Collie worked for the Australasian Post for ten years, in which his column Corn Beef and Collie was a regular feature. Typical Aussie humour at its best. Illustrated by 'Vane'.
