Edition
Nino, now an Australian with the help of his mates and Kay, his missus, has a chance to get a few laughs at the expense of workmates Joe and Dennis as they accompany him on a trip to Italy to visit Nino's parents. Joe and Dennis have never left Sydney and the plan is to go by 'plane and cargo ship then buy a cheap car in Germany to drive to Italy. At the Culotta family villa, Nino's father, a crusty and misbehaving patriarch who loves to conduct local feuds, is only concerned that Nino and Kay have not been 'properly' married by an Italian priest. Nino's mother is worried that the children will be eaten by kangaroos. By the time they return to Sydney, Joe and Dennis have learnt a smattering of several European languages and despite their working-class 'Ocker' background, have acquired a veneer of European sophistication, overtly preferring wine to beer and Italian suits to their Jack Howe singlets - a veneer, of course, that doesn't last too long! Illustrated by 'Wep'.
