Q. Blowfly, thanks for your time.

B. You're welcome, No worries.

B. Correct!

to society and a raw honesty to politics.

I spend a lot of time with them in their homes.

Q. Do you have an electoral slogan?

B. Come fly with me.

Politics
It's raining politicians, be advised
That all of life shall be politicised
And every decency will be defiled
As hopeful innocence becomes beguiled
And smiling fraudulence shall rule the land
Where wisdom is the darkest contraband
And canning frauds become celebrities
Adored, triumphant, celebrated sleaze
The party leader leads behind a wall
Of fluffy puppy dogs and children small
While party faithful have no faith, it’s plain
Their guiding light is victory and gain
And those who tell the most attractive lie
Will win the creepy power to get them by
Until a strange thing comes along to spoil it
And then the whole shebang goes down the toilet.

A scene from paradise. Eve, holding an apple, says: I'm angry at you. Adam points a finger at her saying: I'm angry at YOU. The serpent, coiled around the apple tree, says: I'm sorry for both of you.

Man bangs his head against various things

I know the guy became controversial, but on the other hand - should the state government be expected to mark the death of a cartoonist? The article mentions a public memorial service coming up.

"The state government, in its solemn deliberation, has turned away from the notion of a state funeral for my father, Michael Leunig. In every conceivable form, their hand of support has been withdrawn. They have been unwilling to honour or simply acknowledge a soul whose creative vision etched itself deeply into the heart of Melbourne and beyond."

Phillip Adams: “Vale Mike. Yes, Leunig sometimes got things wrong — but when he was right he was magnificent.”

Classic Leunig cartoon from the 1970s depicts a family having a picnic (or a birthday party) at night in the light of a street lamp. All around in the gloom is a forbidding and depressing industrial landscape. One of the family's children says to the father, who wears a party hat and plays a guitar (or euc) "Gee, Dad, you're fantastic."

#Leunig, eh? Back in the 70s/80s I thought he was funny, with a whimsical left wing outlook. He clicked well with my depression. I still have some of his early collections. 🤷 Unopened in decades.

He changed. Bitter, unpleasant.

Wikipedia doesn't mention it🤔, but my memory is now of a misogynistic, antivaxxing cooker, waaaayyy too woo. Humorous whimsy forgotten.

Leunig's death is meaningless to me. Once I would have mourned, but the cartoonist I enjoyed left us years ago.

The Nation Review would never have been the wonderful thing it was without its "founding cartoonist", Michael Leunig. Creator of the best ferret ever! #Leunig
