Footrot Flats

The Footrot Flats series from Hodder Moa Beckett collected the iconic New Zealand newspaper strip into 27 issues between 1995 and 1999. Centered on the daily trials of farmer Wal Footrot, his faithful dog Dog, and the eccentric residents of the rural Footrot Flats community, these comic books capture the dry, affectionate humor of creator Murray Ball’s long-running strip. A beloved snapshot of Kiwi rural life, the series stands as a definitive archive of Ball’s warm, witty storytelling and distinctive cartooning.
