Murray Ball: A Cartoonists Life – Mason Ball

The long-awaited biography of cartoonist Murray Ball, creator of Footrot Flats. In Murray Ball: A Cartoonist’s Life, Murray’s son Mason Ball shares all the hits and misses and long years of hard graft that went into what would become the wildly successful creative enterprise: Footrot Flats. From his unique viewpoint and with candid honesty, Mason reveals the real-life backstory to Murray’s most iconic characters and themes, telling the story of the man – and father – who could see the quirks of human nature and capture them with the stroke of a pen. Richly illustrated with family photos and cartoons by the bloke who brought us that most lovable character, the Dog.
