AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Especially written for Sydney James and his Pierrot Pie Company, "Quarantined" is described in the Register (Adelaide) as a "topical interlude" which depicts the comic trials and tribulations of Mr and Mrs Snoozenouth Snails as they endeavour to travel on the "Don't-Care-a-Continental" Railway to Fullers' Earth (31 March 1919, p6). The Advertiser (Adelaide) further records that the sketch illustrates the misadventures of passengers quarantined at Scurveyton while en route to Fullers' Earth via Port Disgusted and Foolhardy (4 April 1919, p2).
