At last a social history of australia in cartoons - the funniest story of all, told in the funniest way. Ridiculous antics of our past are recalled - warts and all! There can be no denying the pictures for they are drawn by artists on the spot; the school history books never include the unsavoury subjects of the keen-eyed cartoonists, who show us how things really are. . .
