HMAS QUICKMATCH recovering from a 'Family Day' - P.L.Koch, 'Navy News' July 18, 1958.
4266. This is another good one from the dear old 'Navy News,' by P.L. Koch, whose style we feel is somewhat in the school of major contributor Graeme Andrews, who also served on HMAS QUICKMATCH, and a selection of whose works were presented at pic NO. 3486, and adjacent images, seen here:

Both cartoonists, one feels, are also in the tradition of the late Stan Cross of 'Smith's Weekly,' and the 'For gorsake, stop laughing, this is serious' style which became famous in 1933. Anyway, Kookaburra is now getting together a nice framed selection by both men for the dining room walls, as a surprise gift for Lady Kookaburra's birthday. We know that she's going to be absolutely delighted.
[NOTE: HMAS QUICKMATCH had inaugurated the RAN's first 'Family Day' off Sydney on June 20, 1958].
