cartoonist, signed or monogrammed ('OK’) various cartoons in Australia: National Journal and Australia Week-end Book. Kay had eight gags in no.1 (1942) including one of soldiers and angels playing quoits with haloes (“I stopped them playing two-up, and now look!”), six in no.2 (1943) including a cannibal joke (80) and one of an angel seeking shelter from AA shells with a priest; two in vol.3 (1944) including one of two old men looking at two female army officers: “Well, Bill, Lord help the Japs when those brawny Scotsmen lay their hands on them”.

[An Olga Kay married Alexis “Timothy” Gorbow Gorback in North Sydney in 1942. There is some speculation that she might be O. Kay. Another possibilty is Bulletin cartoonist Pamela Kay.]
