Alex Gurney produced the 'Bluey and Curley' cartoons initially for the magazine 'Picture News' in 1940. It was then transferred to the 'Melbourne Sun' where it was syndicated to newspapers all over Australia and Canada, New Zealand and New Guinea. This particular 'Bluey and Curley' cartoon could have been published in a number of these papers. It was presented to Mr John Bell in December of 1944, so it most likely to have been drawn earlier that year. Gurney spent time with some of the Australian troops in New Guinea in early 1944, and this cartoon is an observation of Australians in New Guinea.
