Review:
'It doesn't seem all that long ago that Wal, Cooch, Aunt Dolly, Dog, Horse, Pongo, Rangi and the rest retired from our comics pages, to the chagrin of their fans, but here they are, in all their familiar and humorous glory. Brilliant.' [The Newcastle Herald] 'A reminder of just how succinctly brilliant Ball's tales of lantern-jawed Wal, laconic Dog and Horse, a cat of pure evil, were and remain. Priceless.' [Herald Sun]
