While he was much more realistcally drawn than Ginger Meggs, reflecting Nicholls' superior draughtmanship, Fatty Finn couldn't quite match Ginger Meggs' brand of 'ocker' humour. Unlike Ginger Meggs, whose strip continues under the penmanship of James Kemsley to this day, Fatty Finn ended with the untimely death of Nicholls in 1977."Reply

No mention of Syd Nicholls and the cartoon that started it all

edit

The movie was based on a famous and long-running strip cartoon, drawn by Syd Nicholls. This needs some mention. -- JackofOz (talk) 03:34, 4 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Agree... but exactly what's the connection? I grew up reading the comic strip every Sunday, it was an Australian institution! But I've only just learned of the 1927 film... how is it connected to the strip? Andrewa (talk) 07:12, 28 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
