Murray Ball – Footrot Flats: The Long Weekender Hardcover – 2008 First Edition

Large-format hardcover collector’s edition of Footrot Flats: The Long Weekender by legendary New Zealand cartoonist Murray Ball.

Published by Hachette New Zealand in 2008, this impressive collection brings together Murray Ball’s Footrot Flats “Weekender” cartoons, originally created for weekend newspapers. Many of the cartoons had not previously appeared in book form.

A particularly distinctive feature is the collection of Footrot Flats “photographs”, where Ball’s much-loved characters are drawn into colour photographic backgrounds.

Featuring Wal, Dog, Cooch, Horse and the rest of the Footrot Flats cast, this substantial volume is a wonderful celebration of one of New Zealand’s most iconic comic strips.
