    Ha. Posted that "Awful Aspects of Spring" Leunig cartoon to the Book of Faces because I found a copy of it during Operation Sort Shit and it seems to have gone down like a lead balloon.
    Dear me.

      he's no longer the darling of the virtue signalling upper middle classes , eh

      it's like they never took any real notice of his cartoons at all , if there is one thing he hates it's them

          He lost me before he went full cooker - he disappeared up his own arse and became neither interesting nor amusing.
          That one, however, made me laugh just as hard as when I first saw it - good grief, it would have been in the eighties.

        Sorry it came out tiny! Caption is "Awful aspects of spring: the new dog digs up the old dog."

          Oh dear. Reminds me of the time I visited my parents with my old dog, and she brought us the body of one of their chickens she had just dug up. After being buried for about a week it was definitely not in good condition, but she was so incredibly proud of herself. I told her she was a good dog, swapped it for a dog treat and the chicken was re-buried in a less accessible place.

            We had a big party at one of my old share houses, so there were a few dogs. We'd buried a dead possum a week before but I can't remember it's fate. Probably road kill knowing that place. We had a giant backyard as our place backed onto council land and a creek. Dogs dug it and fought with it for a while well before anyone noticed. It was in a lot of places by that time and of course, the dogs stank. I may have been on halucinogens too, so it was yucky but fucking hilarious.
