Biography
cartoonist, animator and potter, was born in Victoria. His signed cartoon of four soldiers playing poker with one taking the pot and saying “Well! Well! Ten o’clock, lights out you know”, 1950, brush and ink and blue pencil, 20.5 × 26.3 cm (AWM), is the original for the gag published in the last of the Australian War Memorial’s 19 illustrated Christmas books, As you were (1950). “Gus” also signed a not very good woman driver joke in Melbourne Argus 1956: “The roundabouts confuse me so I always get through them as quickly as possible” (ill. Lindesay 1979, 285). This entry is a stub. You can help DAAO by submitting a biography. Writers: Kerr, Joan Date written: 1996 Last updated: 2007
