What a truly magnificent publication. Should be on every Christmas list. 

I highly recommend it.

(well I would, wouldn't I)

 

Well found, Murray.  I didn't know that had gone up yet.

I thought it would be impossible to make a cartoon out of politics now

Cartoons imitating life or life imitating cartoons

The death of satire has been predicted many times but, yes, politics is self-satirising these days.

Lets scratch some backs then eh.

Been awhile since I've witnessed a genuine love-in.

 

Dymocks is on the money though.

Top rated review:

Scurrilous, obnoxious, rude and unforgiving, missiles sent with intent.

Radcliffe makes the rest of the inner city urbanites look like navel gazers in a cul-de-sac. Not quite a door prop but certainly something you can rest your latte on or hot Masala chai so as not to disfigure that  endangered species timber coffee table  you paid the artisan a motza for, while contemplating the sheer unadulterated blandness of Australian politics as the players in the game continue their expedition to find the lowest hanging fruit and attack it.

This book is an exemplar of how good our cartoonists are who daily break into a sweat to find the funny side,the nasty side, the deeper side(good luck with that one) of what passes for public debate in a country where the populace doesn't really give a s**t and the politicians reflect that in the sheer awfulness of both their behaviour and their lack of vision.

Hey @buddyev can I recommend this one for 2019's edition?

After recently visiting Ballarat, it appears almost every family in town has been touched by that viper's nest of child abusers. Seems to me that we need a state-government-led whole-of-community health response as would happen if an epidemic such as ebola broke out in the city.

 

After all, what's the difference?
