'The Cane Toad Times - Australia's Humour Magazine was published in two volumes. Volume one was published in the late 1970's and volume two between 1983 and 1990.
The first volume of The Cane Toad Times was approximately seven issues and appeared between 1977 and 1978. It was published by Planet Press in Brisbane and in the words of the editors of volume 2, it was " ...a funny little folded thing filled with naughty cartoons and scribblings founded somewhere 1976ish by our foretoads... " (CIT Issue 10 1986, p.4) Matt Mawson, who supplied the cover graphic and some illustrations for the first issue described "the original prime movers (as) John Jiggens and John Reid, the Planet Press anarchists" (1997). Volume one was first issued in May 1977 and was sold locally at events such as 4ZZZ-FM market days, but "the early Toad was squashed on the road of life by a big truck with Negative Cash Flow Ink written on the side." (#10 1986, p.4)' (Introduction)
