Magicat by Hart Amos appears as if it was inspired by US Fox Features' "Cosmo Cat", which had been reprinted by Australian publisher K.G. Murray in 1947, the issues for which, Amos drew Australian-produced filler pages and short stories. The undocumented features, "Bingo Bear", "Professor Pry', and Piggo (Pig), seem very much laid out in the Australian style, and the names of the writers are unknown to me (so are likely to have been supplied, written and drawn by Australian creators, working for Murray. "Piggo" certainly looks like Hart Amos' style. "Professor Pry" and "Bingo Bear" look like the styles of 2 other Australian artists, whose style I recognise, but whose names I cannot recall.

Professor Pry is signed by Lloyd Piper, and the feature has made many appearances, especially in KG Murray reprints of DC comics (which I grew up reading). Piper wrote and drew a lot of different features, and if you look at Planetman on this site you'll see another example his work. He often does stories with a light tone and humorous touches.

Piggo apparently has appeared three times - in each issue of Magicat's comic's short run.

Bingo Bear, as far as I can see, is only known to have made this one appearance.
