Summary: In Murray Ball: a cartoonist's life, Murray's son Mason Ball shares all the hits and misses and long years of hard graft that went into what would become the wildly successful creative enterprise: Footrot Flats. From his unique viewpoint and with candid honesty, Mason reveals the real-life backstory to Murray's most iconic characters and themes, telling the story of the man-- and father-- who could see the quirks of human nature and capture them with the stroke of a pen.
