Nope
The actual cartoonist and I've been thinking ever since I first posted was a
fellow who simply called himself "Jolliffe". A Google search produces heaps of
sales of his works on eBay, way down the list is a Wikipedia entry which sadly
gives a brief description of this great Australian Icon.

All his cartoons [from memory] dealt with our Aboriginal cousins, mostly
wrestling crocodiles. How he introduced a boa constrictor is beyond me. I
suppose it was different to crocodiles. I think we've got some really mean
snakes here [deadly] but none that big.
Anyhoo... to bed for me in this part of the world at 10:30 p.m. LT
