The Ettamogah animal characters are original, full of mischief and merriment, and add much to the originality of each cartoon. ‘Struth’ the cockatoo is a big favourite. He wears boots because the iron roof is too hot for his feet. The truck will always be on the roof of his fictitious pub as it was washed there in the 1946 floods and it’s doubtful that the Mob will ever bother to get it down.

The cartoon grew into the legend that inspired the building of replica pubs, and now the legend is destined for even bigger and better things!
