Description
In this children's comic strip from the Sydney Morning Herald in 1947, Sir Kaark the crow escapes from the clutches of a hungry dragon by donning the armour of a knight who is bathing in a pool nearby. He is then asked to rescue the 'Lady in Distress', which is a common motif in chivalric literature. In this comic, the medieval themes of chivalry and gallantry are combined with anglicised Australian animal icons.
