AT FIFTEEN, while still attending Sydney’s Fort Street Boys’ High School, I sold my first cartoons to The Bulletin and decided I wanted to be a cartoonist and work there—at The Bulletin and nowhere else. Then the Second World War came. I joined the army and was drafted into the 1st Australian Entertainment Unit, but continued sending cartoons to The Bulletin and, wonder of wonders, they continued printing them. When the war ended, I was discharged and, wonder of wonders, I was invited to join the Bulletin staff.
