  • Rolf, I like so many others, grew up with you as part of my life. I want to thank you for all the happiness you have given me over the years so I wrote you a little poem..! Can you guess what it is yet.? I never could. I said it back then, Rolf and you're still bloody good.. You're a decent and gifted man Rolf, a rare thing indeed. God bless you. Dan O'Neill. .

  • Dear Rolf, I (very) briefly met you at the Street Party by your house the other day. I was the clown who surprised you while you were singing! Must have put you right off your song, ha! I wasn't trying to be rude by tooting my horn by the way but I didn't want to disrupt your show too much... When I was a little boy I loved your song "Two Little Boys", used to listen intently to it and was really touched even though I was only 7 at the time. Also was fascinated by your paintings on your TV show and trying to guess what it was going to be. Take care, Mark (Cookie the Clown).

  • Hello Rolf It was a flood of great emotion as I watch your interview on TV today. I first meet you in the late sixties as young child entertaining a school full of terrified laughing kids watching the three legged man (Maningrida)1968? and a little later on your return visit and impromptu concert at the Kakadu Holiday Village on the South Alligator river in Australia's Northern Territory. Well done and thanks.

  • You inspired me as a child, and though my own dreams of becoming an artist fell apart when i had a disabled child ..I grew in that dream of being someone special.. that made me who I am..A special person to special people...I love you Rolf.. Catherine .x.x.x.x

  • I was a member of your cartoon club and was gutted when it ended, I loved watching the show and started a career in art because of your influence. ;)

  • I met you in the early 90s in Blackwood Miners Institute and you very kindly bought us a curry! Just want you to know I've never forgotten that night and still have the drawing of Caspar the opinionated french cat you drew for us! You're special and we love you! xx

  • I feel that I have grown up with you, making me laugh and making the world a happier place. I think my first recollections of seeing you were in a Melborne theatre (I used to live in Dandenong) in about 1984 when I was about 6. Then on your cartoontime and then on Animal Hospital but most inspiring for me was all of your art series. You are indeed not just a national icon but a worldly icon. Keep going Rolf.
