Digging through scans today I found the comics page from the last issue of Melbourne newspaper The Argus. The Wizzer strip was the only Australian continuity strip at the time and I presume the creators were not given notice to finish their story. It ends with these three haunting panels depicted in the dark of night. The last panel in particular has always struck me as hauntingly sad. Below is a sample of the strip from several years prior, January 14 1950. Hermon Wizzer was created by A. D. Renton and W. J. Evans and ran in The Argus from 7th April 1949 to 19th January 1957. At that point it was “Hermon Wizzer of Merryville College”, a full colour, full page, comic of college hi-jinks, a far cry from those last three panels. It would be fascinating to see the progression between them.
