    As they say at the Woy Woy RSL - The First (!) sign of a man under pressure is slipping down a Hill 100 metres. Wouldn’t happen at the Iguanas. At this hot night spot they would tell the Hill “Don’t you know who I am?”

    That was a funny and cute cartoon. Then you ruined it by using “gay” as some kind of insult. What the hell?

    “Then you ruined it by using “gay” as some kind of insult.”

    ROTFLMAO.
    That’s *almost* as funny as the cartoon eyebowman……Almost.

    However, it was those bloody potoroos wearing fairylamps on their heads that made my day. :-)

    Capering potoroos are always funny.

    Tom McLoughlin: I hope you are aware that Spike Milligan, the late, great Brit comedian, used the words Woy Woy a lot because his Mum lived there. Were you born there? If so you are forgiven.

    Paddy: WTF’s the matter with you? If FD had said female babies no one would have said a thing. It’s unusual for FD to indulge in this sort of ‘ism’, but I thought with comedy/cartoons/etc everyone was fair game.

    Don’t you think his Chrissy Pyne cartoons are fantastic? They are no respecter of sexual gender. Lighten up for Christ’s sake.

    Personally, I wish Tim Holding had gone through a hell of a lot worse than he did. Because, and if I’m not mistaken, he is also the Minister for the Environment. It wouldn’t have hurt him one bit to get closer to the creatures whose title he ostensibly works under.

    Sorry FD, I got off the topic there. Great cartoon. Lurve the headlamp lit Tim Holding. Much nicer than the grim reality of the actual ambitious twit. Why do all the Labor people-the people I voted for-turn out to be so awful?

    ‘Bye’ :) :) :)

    I would vote for the potoroos in the next election.

    Tsk tsk tsk. “Gay” as synonymous for ineffectual. That’s just so hetero. And discriminatory.

    My dad actually discovered Potorous Longipes (true dinks- top of the second column on this- http://www.publish.csiro.au/?act=view_file&file_id=AM03221_OB.pdf).
    He never said anything about them wearing fairy headlamps, but I’m certainly not surprised about their nefarious intentions towards Mountain Man Tim- one of them bit me when I was 12. I didn’t mind though- he got to go on Shirl’s Neighbourhood showing one off, which gave me massive cred at school.
