'Ginger Meggs, under the name of Us Fellers, was first published in 1921 on the 'Sunbeams' pages of the Sunday Sun ... Us Fellers alternated with a number of other comics for several months, and it wasn't until March 12, 1922, that it took up its position on the front page and became a weekly feature ... Ginger had been one of the boys in the first episode of Us Fellers. By the end of the year, Bancks had manoeuvred him to be the centre of attention.'
