1 y separately published work icon Zombie McCrombie from an Overturned Kombie Michael Ward , Gypsy Taylor (illustrator), Richmond : Hardie Grant Books , 2015 8755072 2015 single work picture book horror humour

'Zombie McCrombie is a hilarious parody of the well-loved children's book Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy, by Lynley Dodd. Zombie McCrombie (from an overturned Kombi) and his zombie dog pals, Montague Klutz (trailing his guts) and Benedict Wise (enshrouded by flies) roam the empty streets, sniffing the wind for bones they might gnaw ... with a gut-bustingly hilarious outcome! Topped off by the perfectly gruesome illustrations by Gypsy Taylor.' (Publication summary)

1 form y separately published work icon Welcher & Welcher Gary McCaffrie , Shaun Micallef , Michael Ward , ( dir. Ted Emery ) 2003 Australia : Jigsaw Entertainment Australian Broadcasting Corporation , 2003 6048749 2003 series - publisher film/TV crime humour

'Accident prone and full of himself Welcher QC, played by Shaun Micallef, is a partner in a small law firm. Sadly QC are his initials - the closest he will ever get to being a Queen's Counsel. A comedy about the relationships we all have at home and in the office, with some great physical comedy from the country's top comic.'

Guy Gross ) Australia France : Yoram Gross Film Studios Millimages ABC Television , 2001 7449954 2001 series - publisher film/TV children's

'Old Tom is based on a series of successful books written by Australian author Leigh Hobbs. Old Tom is a one-eyed, flea-ridden, orange tomcat, who’s good-natured but slothful behaviour is in contrast to the respectable, suburban matron, Angela Throgmorton, who treats Old Tom as if he were her son. They are, in reality, every bit as oddball and eccentric as each other, and together they become involved in a series of comedic adventures and topsy-turvy situations.'
