Written by Cary Bates, this comic offers a fascinating intersection of global pop culture and Aotearoa’s natural history. Sandi will discuss the comics origins, cultural context, and what it reveals about growing environmental awareness in the 1970s.

Everyone is welcome. No need to book. Meet in the Museum’s Atrium. Admission is free. Koha for the Museum is always appreciated.
