Description: Twelve panels of a comic strip about Rusty Higgins, who has just finished chopping wood for his father as a punishment for misbehaviour. He meets his Maori friend Tui, and they go to a park where two blond children Alphonse and Kathleen are flying their kite, rather unsuccesfully.

However, all ends in tears when the kite nosedives, and Rusty envisages that he will be chopping lots more wood for his father, unless he can persuade Alphonse to explain the air pocket - one that even "Kingsland" [Kingsford] Smith could not have evaded. A black and white preliminary print for the ninth panel is housed at B-185-054 Quantity: 1 drawing(s). Physical Description: 12 ink and watercolour on cards, each 100 x 123 mm, and heading panels, all stuck to strengthened fabric, 627 x 435 mm.
