Iconic black singlet
Rural context for humour

Burton Silver drew a cartoon strip called Bogor which appeared in the New Zealand Listener magazine in the 1970's and 1980's.  It had a rural philosophising woodsman called Bogor and his hedgehog friend.  We found it funny because he was showing an industry we were part of.  The black singlet has come to symbolise the male New Zealand rural labourer.  I though Bogor would collect the flowers he found growing on the road sides in his forest so I collected the small ordinary flowers from my garden to make a posie.  This book of cartoons has been found in the sons ex bedroom along with a basket of Footrot Flats cartoon books.  The weekend looks damp so the decluttering may actually happen.
