    Even by your atmospheric standards FD, this is truly superb.

    No, Doggy you have stratospheric standards !

    And this is truly one of your all time greats.

    How DO we think about a politician who has batted for so long on the “Unmitigated Turds” team - but who’s been padding up and taking the crease daily after dealing with the black dog ? Tough call.

    I’ve seen the black dog and it’s no fucking laughing matter.

    Which is what makes this cartoon so excellently superb. It rises like a souffle.

    Careful, or the industry will give you some kind of award.

    Then it’s all over, Red Rover. Death by irony.

    Ah FD you appear to have done it again. This too deserves my highest accolade of SIX stars! :) :) :)

    Frame three would have huge appeal to all people who suffer the black dog syndrome. And I should know, as I’m one of them.

    possibly one of the brightest things i have done in a pretty middling 30-year career in journalism is give this guy a job.

    i don’t want to go in the van. not with him anyway. he has various compulsive behaviours that might be trying in a confined space.

    Robb may be sick but he’s not stupid, just like Geoff Gallup knew WA Inc was about to reprise, and got out. It was survival or be swallowed by the corruption. Robb knows the greenhouse mafia are about to run loose in the Coalition like a showdown at the Okay Coral. What do you do when you know your side will lose? An intrinsically depressing situation I would say, and a compelling reason to take leave.

    Agree about FD, a dynamic and yet at times fragile flower. Get thee to Woy Woy I say!
