Ginger Meggs : 2021 Australia

2021-Spe-07 Australia

Ginger Meggs, created in 1921 by Jimmy Bancks, is one of Australia's most popular and the longest-running comic strip. The strip follows the escapades of a red-haired prepubescent mischief-maker who lives in an inner suburban working-class household. When Bancks died on 1952-Jul-01, Ron Vivian took over the strip (1953–1973), followed by Lloyd Piper (1973–1982), James Kemsley (1983–2007), and Jason Chatfield since 2007. In 2023, it was announced that the series would be discontinued.
