Sports cartoons from Melbourne newspaper The Age published in 1937. I’m not sure who the cartoonist is, the signature is a little indistinct but I suspect it is the work of Reg Hicks an émigré from England in 1921 who had worked for the Argus prior to starting at the Age in 1937. Initially in 1937 Hicks was contributing juvenile strips for the children’s section, Betty and Bob See The World and Willy and Wally, before moving onto adventure strips which included the 100 page serialised epic The Space Patrol.
