Footrot Flats seriesbook 3 of 12Next:Footrot Flats 4(1981) →

Murray Ball's comic strips follow everyday life on a farm in New Zealand, where the rhythms of work, weather and neighbourly rivalry shape each episode. The strips are seen through the eyes of a scruffy canine observer whose wry view of the people around him gives the humour its edge. First appearing in local newspapers, the strips offered affectionate laughs about country life and the small disasters that come with it. Each strip stands alone, but the recurring cast of farmers and townsfolk builds a familiar world for regular readers to return to.
