This is a scan from a faded old photocopy of a cartoon ad by
Bob Browne for New Guinea Motors in the Papua New Guinea
Post-Courier, 1976. According to the Foreword in
Isuzu Lu Book 5, Browne's Isuzu Lu ads paved the way for locally created cartoon strips in PNG newspapers.
The Phantom was among the most popular strips in 1976.
