With the Ginger Meggs: Australia’s Favourite Boy exhibition, Sydney Living Museums invites you to get to know the protagonist of Australia’s longest-running comic strip.
Resilient is an understatement for Ginger, having kept us company for over 90 years through newspapers, Golden Books, clothing, merchandise and a feature film. Featuringoriginal strips from all five of Ginger Meggs’ ‘fathers’, from his orginial creator Jimmy Bancks, to his successors Ron Vivian, Lloyd Piper, James Kemsley and Jason Chatfield, as well as a generous collection of memorabilia, the exhibition will be a nostalgic look into Ginger’s varied and adventurous world through the pens of each artist.
