Mason Ball is coming to Tekapo to share his recently completed biography of his father, the acclaimed cartoonist Murray Ball, renowned as the creator of Footrot Flats.
His biography reveals all the hits and misses and long years of hard graft that went into what would become a wildly successful creative enterprise: Footrot Flats. From his unique viewpoint and with congenial honesty, he reveals the real-life backstory to Murray Ball's most iconic characters and themes, paying homage to the man - and father - who could see the quirks of human nature in his surroundings and capture them with the stroke of a pen.
Superbly illustrated with family photos and cartoons by the man who brought us that most lovable character, The Dog.
