Footrot Flats 1

This collection gathers the strips of a much-loved New Zealand cartoon about life on a hill farm. Its main figures include Wal, a sheep farmer, along with his loyal dog, his mate Cooch, a horse and a character known as Major. Selected by the cartoonist himself, the strips follow the everyday mishaps, arguments and small victories of rural life. Much of the humour comes from the characters' dry, understated banter and from the chaos that surrounds the farm. Long-time readers will find old favourites, and newcomers can meet the cast for the first time in a single volume that shows why the series has stayed popular for so long.
