Whether you're a cartoonist, or a political satirist. You will fail unless you're funny. You are and they weren't. Perhaps they should employ you as a "comedy editor". :-) FD.

You are and they weren’t.

But the not very creative Chasers ran out of material and turned to human misery for mirth. Likening Joseph Fritzl's incest to the Brady Brunch was as bad as creating jollys from cancer sufferers.

Why they didn't see your worth is beyond me. I think they wet a bit too far with dying kid syndrome. a bit tasteless, that's all. Everyone has apologized. that should be the end of it. But people are V touchy and wont rest for sometime yet. Sometimes I wonder if the citizens of Oz can handle satire. Gotta go. Cheers Venise FD I have to say I think they are pretty terrific.

At their peak the chaser is some of the best political satire we have seen in this country. I was just being bitchy to mirror the anti chaser bitchiness. Or something. They wiill he back. And they still won't use my cartoons. No no no! At their peak the chaser is some of the best political satire we have seen in this country.

Floated by viewers looking for some free-to-air entertainment the Chasers with a hint of commercial endorsement attracted short-term attention. Time to give them the sharp end of the stick. It's Karma FD...Karma. And thank heaven you surfaced at Crikey. We're blessed! In other words The Chasers were irrelevant humour - a cluster of fairy floss comics blown away by their own stench.
