This volume, created by John Gurney with Keith Dunstan, gathers Alex Gurney’s most memorable Bluey and Curley cartoons, presenting them alongside biographical insights, production history, and affectionate commentary. It traces Gurney’s rise as one of Australia’s most recognisable cartoonists, showing how his characters—two diggers with sharp wit and big hearts—reflected the spirit of Australian soldiers during WWII and the larrikin humour of post‑war life. The book blends artwork, archival material, and storytelling to honour Gurney’s legacy as a master of visual comedy and cultural observation.
