Moved from base of article - needs separate section? SkierRMH 19:37, 8 April 2007 (UTC) "Fatty Finn (real name Hubert Finn) was created by Australian artist Syd Nicholls in the 1920's for the Sunday newpapers in competition with Ginger Meggs. 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]

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

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

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]

Have just about finalised an article on Fatty Finn, as well as an article on Syd Nicholls, the comic strip's creator. I have also corrected the lead sentence to reflect that the film is based on the comic strip character. Have also started re-working the article on The Kid Stakes.

Well done, Dan. -- Jack of Oz ^{[your turn]} 08:15, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
