Ginger Meggs by Jason Chatfield for September 24, 2010

Go, Ginger, go!

Good Morning Meggie’s Fans!

Nice to see that Skippy is still around.

G’day Jason, Dry, JFri, Ottod, Frank, Barb and all Meggsie’s mates.

WOW!!! Two great Aussie icons, truly a classic. Congratulations Jason.

For some idea of just how clever Ginger is to be riding the kanga try this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ao9kGYYkD4&feature=related Hypnotic background sound is the aboriginal didgeridoo.

For those of you like UsFellers whom have been reading Meggs for a long time, you might recognise the reference to the 1945 cover of the Sunbeams Annual (Issue 22):

Yes, todays strip is also a reminder of Ginger’s high standing in Australian folklore.

There were 35 Annuals issued from 1924 to 1959, with no issue for 1951. James Kemsley issued several collections of strips later on and kept the numbering sequence up to 39. Complete sets are highly prized.

Fans would be well advised to keep a copy of today’s strip for posterity.

Thanks for the pic, Jason.

G’day Jason, JFri, usfellers and ottod!

Thanks for that link usfellers! That Joey was SO CUTE!!

Jason, thanks for this one! I have kept it! I love kangaroos! I can’t wait until you do the Koala Bears. You will, won’t you? PLEASE!

…not to mention better looking, smarter, and more fluent in English.

I’ll bet that’s the kind of stunt that makes Mr. Canehard hopping mad.

Nice one! Jase. I’ve posted it on my Facebook profile, too.

@ dry, koalas are NOT BEARS :D
