About the event

Mr Squiggle and the legacy of Norman Hetherington
Norman Hetherington amused, inspired and delighted generations of Australians. He entertained troops during the Second World War and was a cartoonist at the Bulletin, but is best known as the creator of Mr Squiggle.

Join Norman’s daughter, Rebecca, and grandson Tom as they share stories of growing up with puppets and learning from a master as we examine the remarkable legacy of Norman Hetherington.

The evening features Rebecca Hetherington, Tom Hetherington-Welch along with Dr Sophie Jensen and Danielle Cassar from the National Museum of Australia, in conversation with Alex Sloan AM. It will be followed by an audience Q+A and an exclusive viewing of the exhibition Mr Squiggle and Friends.
