Biography: cartoonist and comic writer, was born in New Zealand and (he said) 'educated in the university of experience and worked as a slaughterman, teaching himself to write and draw in between earning a living’. At Sydney in 1935, under the penname 'J.McC’, he began writing satirical articles illustrated with his own (small, fairly ordinary) cartoons, initially mainly for the Workers’ Weekly then for its successor Tribune . A collection of his articles published 1937-39, Between You & Me , appeared in December 1944 when he was still writing his weekly Tribune article. He claimed to have a mother-in-law who was one of Australia’s most famous circus acrobats (to explain the absence of the usual mother-in-law stories), and he acquired an international reputation as a humorist, his articles being republished in New Zealand and Canada as well as other Australian newspapers.
