Those glossy Sunday comics of yore
The older I get the more changes I see. It's the way of the world.
Amongst many other things, those wondrous, glossy coloured comic supplements in the Sunday newspapers of childhood are long gone.
However, in their reduced and anaemic modern equivalent at least some of the same cartoon strips remained to give a brief glimpse back to what always seems a gentler time.
So last week it was sad to see the passing of yet another of the cartoonists who drew Ginger Meggs, James Kemsley.
According to news reports, Jason Chatfield is stepping into the breach to keep Our Ginge alive. Welcome to the world of Aussie childhood memories, Jason.
