A cautionary tale…
Bernard Keane / Tuesday, 9 February 2010 / 9
The Government’s weekend handout to the free-to-air television networks — $100-odd million this year and $150m next -– has sunk with barely a trace in the media.
Glenn Dyer / Tuesday, 9 February 2010 / 0
The booming Aussie dollar is encouraging Australians to travel more overseas, yesterday’s Super Bowl was the most watched game in history and the most watched TV show ever, Clive Palmer is back to his old tricks and more business briefs.

Speechless!!!
This is one of the year’s greats.
And so a vast conspiracy reaches its inevitable conclusion. Thank you for raising awareness of this menace, FTOTM. Noqw they MUST listen.
*** FDOTM ***. *** Now ***. God, haven’t even had a Friday coldie yet….
First Tog on the Moon?
Too too funny. I’ll have a cuppa to compose myself and grab a tissue for the tears. One helluva cartoonist!! XX
You should be syndicated first dawg! Funniest thing I’ve read this week.
Just hilarious! Im having a brain explosion……
I am in the process of sewing eyes onto my Jesus sock….and got the kettle on.
Oh Christ! First Dog you’ve given me hysterics. Say she wiping the tears of laughter off her face before they run into her glass of Chardonnay.
If I hadn’t already set a limit on you of five stars, I’d give you six.
Cheers
Venise
But Steve Fielding is something of a sitting duck though isnt he? V xx
I forgot to add

Just wonderful
You can gaze at this for hours and still find hysterical stuff. Pass the sauce please, handpuppet Jesus, taking Steve out with chamomile and the foul-mouthed PM’s advisor all too much. Best cartoonist EVER!!!!
Chris Johnson. I collapsed at the squid holding up a hand-puppet of Christ for Steve Fielding. After re-reading it I don’t think I can fault it in any way. The image of the two giant squid, a comatose Steve Fielding and the hand-puppet that carked it started me up again.
Now, now, Venise and Chris….it IS very funny…..but FD is NOT Jesus in a sock (yet).
A great way to end the week, rolling round on the floor, hysterical, in tears and gasping for breath. Haven’t laughed so hard for ages. Great work FD.
few know that rudd’s cat uses its right paw when talking on the phone…great eyes on the puppet holding jellyfish by the way…good work
