Yay! Ned’s back. Thanks Colin. We’ve missed them.

Maybe Wicking can recommend one?
Seriously though, Wicking has mastered the essential art of good cartoonists. It’s all in how you draw the eyes and eyebrows reacting to the words.

And did I say “good cartoonists”? I meant “bloody funny in a classic deadpan Australian way cartoonists”.

I remember one where in the first panel Clare Martin was lambasting the Commonwealth for planning to site a low-level nuclear waste dump in the NT — state’s rights, the whole bit. In the final panel she’s clutching a piece of paper saying “New Terrorism Laws” and asking “where do I sign?”
