Can you find the Townsville Bulletin?

John Sherffius says it all again.  Can you find the Townsville Bully in the trash pile? 

I though that it could be the red speck about 1/3 of the way up on the left but then it's way too big and it's the wrong colour! 

Any ideas?

Kudelka is on to something here.  The Monk may be digging a hole for himself unless he can find a new mantra that suits the current (changed) public mood.

…and The Lord spake unto Tony and said “Take with you two of everything, except slogans, of which you will be needing just the one.”

All power to the cartoonists

I've long thought that the newspaper article that has most influence on public opinion is the editorial cartoon. It is the one piece that everyone reads and absorbs - otherwise they wouldn't chuckle at the good ones.

Seeing this Ron Cobb 'toon from '73 reminded me again of the power of a good cartoon.  As a young adult this, amongst others (eg Captain Goodvibes), had a hugerole in shaping my understanding of the world that lasts to this day.

As Dave Riley at Left Click notes, 38 years later Cobb's 'toon is "archetypal of what underpins contemporary Australia and the meaning is as potent and relevant today as it was when the image was first drawn.

Scary isn't it if you pause long enough to consider it?"

Men and Religion



Ever wondered why all of the traditional religions and most of the new ones too (maybe with the exception of the Quakers) were invented by and are controlled by men?  Power, dominance and wealth with as little work as possible is a boy thing in all species it seems!

When Tony Abbott was first elected leader of the Libs, my initial reaction was that he'd do himself quickly and then flame-out.

Clearly, I was wrong!  Rather, he's evidently going to do himself slowly.

Leunig seems to agree:

Setting Sons

Mr Fish has to be one of the sharpest cartoonists around.  This piece, both beautiful and profound, truly makes U think - exactly as a good editorial cartoon should!
