NZ icon
The Footrot Falts site celebrates the life & work of Murray Ball, a true New Zealand icon.
Wal, Cooch, Horse and … The Dog. Footrot Flats & the iconic characters that inhabit it’s hills, valleys & paddocks sit at the very heart of what it means to be a Kiwi.
Unfortunately I did not get the stories from Marray Ball in person as he was not well at the time and has since passed on :,(
I did have the pleasure of working with his son Gareth Ball from the start of the project and he is definitely what Kiwi’s call “a good bloke”.
A lifetime's work
Thousands of comic strips and artworks were digitised and catalogued using a flexible taxonomy that both drives the Strip Archive & documents the entire repository of work.
Rewarding
I had amazing time helping to build this site. Reading strip after strip (purely for research purposes) really took me back to when I was young, waiting for my Dad to finish with his paper so I could read the comics page.
