For the Howard Hater with everything…

CLICK HERE TO BUY THE BOOK
For all you smug elites sitting back sipping your chardonnnays with latte chasers it must seem like all your Chrismases have come at once. There’s still time to get yourself a copy of the book before the sky falls in or you’re attacked and eaten by feral union bosses, or [...]

Yes, we can’t quite believe he’s gone either…

To commemorate the event, I’ve coloured up #72 and made it available as a cheerful Christmas card (the perfect accompaniment to the book!) poster or T-shirt on my Redbubble site for those out there who need visual reassurance that it’s really all over.
Check out the site for more pics coming soon.

GST EXTRA: Brendan Nelson’s Magical Mystery Tours

As a parting “never ever” in honour of the outgoing PM, we’re putting up one of the ten GST extra uses from the book.
Today the Liberals performed the greatest act of generosity towards the political cartooning profession since appointing Alexander Downer as opposition leader all those years ago by putting Brendan at the wheel, so [...]

Tomorrow’s the big day…

101 uses is a long time in politics. When the first use was posted on this blog on 6/6/06 (read into that what you will) it seemed the little guy would be here forever. Now, while I’m sure we all hope he’ll be hanging onto the keys to Kirribilli House for another 101 uses, there’s [...]

Sadly, “fully operational” is never quite [...]

#99: Pot

Legend has it that the great warrior Achilles was dipped by his mother, Thetis, into the river Styx when he was a baby. This led to him becoming invulnerable everywhere except for his heel where she was holding onto him, leading to his eventual downfall involving years of expensive physiotherapy.
As politicians are generally at least [...]

#98: Chicken Little

The sky is falling! The sky is falling! The skyyyy is faaaaalliiiiiinnnng! Seriously! I really mean it this time!
The world would be a dangerous place without fear. For example, just imagine the terrifying carnage on the roads without all those terrifying road safety ads showing us all the carnage on the roads. Or those “wombats [...]

Book Launch in Hobart

I will be sitting at a card table signing books at Rektango, 5:30 to 7:30, Nov 16 in the Salamanca Arts Centre courtyard and if you can’t make that, then I’ve got a little of a Salamanca market stall on Saturday the 17th.
Otherwise, you can buy the John Howard book here.
