Oh dear, echidna puggle too late.
And the ant says “Damn all this pissant humour”
‘I hope one of you trippers is going to give me the Gusano out of your mescal’.
“and the ant says: which one of you is an actual hysterical figure hm?”
Dear Mr Onthemoon, it you tried any harder, you’d burst.
So…….In recognition of your magnificent services to the English language……
The term “Leunigisity” will be placed in the FD hall of fame as a true *classic*!!
Oops…. DRAT!!!
Make that Leunigisticity.
“Leunigisticity” is my new favourite word.
You shouldn’t ask me to try to be funny… you may live to regret it.
Ant: OK guys we need a joke desperately… c’mon… Michael, you’re pretty funny. What have you got for us?
Leunig: Funny? Oh… err… well an ant walks into a … oh hey Jesus, I didn’t see you there.
Jesus: Micheal!
Leunig: Hey if I were to buy a round of water, could you…?
Jesus: Anything for you, Michael, let’s go.
(Leunig and Jesus wander off)
Ant: Shit. Kevin? Err…
Kevin: Let me just say this -
Ant: Oh just forget it.
Grasshopper: Don’t I remember you telling me how it is best to prepare for the days of neces-
Ant: Oh shut your trap!
Creepy Voice: Whooooooooooooooooo
Ant: You too, John!
… too long?
In the end all you needed was the frame introducing Leunigisticity. Just that word in a nice font on a t-shirt and every Leunig fan will comprehend it.
It looks like you didn’t even have time to write the text with a ruler underneath to keep it straight like you normally do…
Here we go again. Apologies if this is a duplicate comment.
Dearest Doggy, when you have created the Sistine Chapel of cartoons (the Andrew Robb one) , you are entitled to rest on your laurels a bit.
Imagine a cartoon with God holding his finger out to Michaelangeleunig saying “Here, pull this….”
I fear you went astray early, when you envisaged welcoming asylum seekers with a parade and cups of tea. (Too old world). They should be presented with echidna puggles by Anthony Albanese (as he is most resemblesome). This will comfort them and ensure undying devotion to their new home. It will also provide the answer to the citizenship question - Q6. What is the name given to infant echidnas in ‘Straya? (a) anthony (b) puggle (c) darl (d) all of the above. (All answers correct. Welcome). There’ll be another day. And another deadline. And another.
…and the ant says to the doorman ‘Col Allen told Kevin he was going to book us a table for four’.
The 4 of them walk into to the ABC bar,
Ant: “My shout boys!” “Excuse me ABC barman, can I have a grasshopper please?”
Kevin:”Er.. anyone seen Therese?”
M.L.: looking forlorn (as usual) “I’ll have a bloody Mary, a bloody Steve and a bloody Wendy please”
Jesus: “Why so down Mick? “You look like your’ve been hung out to dry”
M.L.:”Shit Jesus”, “It’s not like I’m cross, you know!”
Kevin: “I’ll just have a O.J. thanks Ant” “Must keep a low profile”
Ant:”Hey, stop being a sickin-the-mud-Mick!” “Here’s your drinks!”
M.L: “Thanks Ant” “Hey Jesus, you want a bloody Mary?”
Jesus: “God No!” (looks up to heaven) “sorry Mum”
ABC Barman:”who’s paying for all this?”
Kevin: “Let me say this first” (drink in hand, ready for a toast)
M.L.:”Look, the sun is setting”
Ant: “Blow it out ya arse Mick!”
Jesus: “I can’t drink this”
Kevin: “We, the new G4 of Australia are now thus thrusted into the (ramble ramble)
ABC Barman: “Right!” “No money, no drinks!”
All in unison: “F__K OFF!”
The ant undoes his vest, light’s up a cigarette, kicks off his shoes, shouts a round of drinks, points at himself and says “Re: cant at leisure”.
They all drink and lift their glasses to Ant.
Christ intones monotonously “Truly, the meek shall inherit the earth”.
That’s horrible.
FD you will go back to printing your words, wont you?
PS: Leunigisity sounds like a form of pasta.
Leunigisticity. Sorry.
Lock up the sugar, barman
… nothing, ants can’t talk, that’s why they have antlers. Anyway it’s preposterous to believe this could happen as one (the ant) can’t talk and the others are mythical characters, like Santa. That’s right, Santa isn’t real either ha ha ha. Sorry, time to take my meds’ I love this page.
Return to Woy Woy, do not pass go, do not collect honey. And dock his pay Danno.
I love following you into reality. The never ending ant travails, John Howard horror stories, bulk emissions and religious narratives all cobbled for time-stingy editors. And you do it brilliantly! FD genius again…
C’mon, you just knew this would happen.

That Ant was the biggest and baddest ant ever… no doubt
Sad as it was… the man earn’d it
How can you dismiss the ant King so lightly?
And wtf do I keep ending up in moderation?
You’re funnier than all of this lot FD…..why Copenhagen?
Leunigisity?
I always imagine FD as Leunigs Bastard Punk offspring leaning over Leunig (ala ‘Star Wars’: “I am your Father…”) going “Take this, Daddio!!!” as he takes to him with a chainsaw.
But then again, I can imagine lots of things, I guess…
Oh, yeah, sorry FD.
Kittens playing musical instruments follows:

Of course, Vicki… even when feeling “uninspired”, FD brings the funny better than the rest of us. That is why he is the cartoonist, and we merely admirers.
And who knows why Copenhagen… maybe it just has a certain… Leunigisticity…
well FD here goes
“obama is that you?” looking at jesus. “opps my mistake, you are white! how’s mary by the way?” as the black jesus was in copenhagen last week (remember all FD’s isittoosoon?-o-matic toon from this week!)
“is it warm in here or is it just me?” december climate change conference reference
“i wish jasper was here” but some comment about fucktarts or such would need to be included..maybe even a reference to capitalism “i wonder how many shouts $900 will buy?”
“four shits to the wind” a tom waits reference re’ tome traubert’s blues (alternately titled four sheets to the wind in copenhagen) or
“who wants to go waltzing matilda with me” or
“i bet saint christopher won’t save me from the prima donna or that one-arm bandit” you can guess who’s who!
i know, i know too much TW
