Kolynos dental cream ads featured in Australian newspapers and magazines in the 1940's with comic illustrations and format similar to the syndicated Ripley's Believe or Not panel strip of unusual facts.

Jenkins in 1908 and sold worldwide, eventually to be bought out by Colgate-Palmolive in 1995. Although no artists are credited on these ads, I'm fairly certain they were produced in Australia as Kolynos advertising campaigns for print and television were created in many countries including New Zealand and Australia.
