I feel it is very funny but don’t see why you had to dress Tony Abbott as a Rhesus monkey, because already he is one. Bat ears (ping- pong- bat ears) and all.
Where I am confused is with the cigar- smoking, aged gentleman in frame three. It can’t be Moses as that curmudgeon would never be that cool. Charles Darwin-I think he’s wearing a suit. It was then I had my brainwave. I think it is the lady Turnbull’s grand dad!
Excellent stuff.
You’ll be happy to know that now, from last week, every time I hear Joe Hockey’s name I think of the croquenboch in a can. Great for hiking!
Did Julie dress up as God or Santa?
I hope the new shareholders haven’t “trimmed” FDOTM to only four frames as part of the budget cuts.
Could this explain the cruel censoring of our pets’ hilarity?
What next? A rebranding to mDog 1.0!
Frame two has the expression perfectly - an uncanny resemblance - true genius!
Venise, hi there … I wondered that same question.
And when I saw the cigar, it struck me that First Dog has depicted Julie as impersonating Sigmund Freud? Now there’s a headscratcher!
Nice to catch up with you again - and speaking of headscratching … I don’t suppose you saw PR on the back of the SMH Saturday edition? There was a fabulous display of toilet seat covers on some of our most respectable sisters. There was even, I kid you not, someone wearing a credible version of a toilet brush craftwork cover! But I will give Jen H a Small Achievement Award for her ability to model a toilet seat cover on her head - and make it look credible.
No one recognised Charles Darwin?
Hi Kevin … Did Charles Darwin smoke cigars too? I don’t recall seeing him behind the bike sheds.
Elephant stamp for you you Kevin - It is not in actual fact, Charles Darwin because it is Julie Bishop smoking a cigarette while dressed as Charles Darwin. This is explained in frames 2 and 3. My in depth research led me to discover that Tony is a health nut and so would not smoke. I do not know if Julie Bishop has ever smoked but it is hilarious to have Tony Abbott dressed as a Rhesus Monkey and Julie Bishop smoking while dressed as Charles Darwin outside the Sydney Institute while Cardinal Pell and Joe Hockey argue about whether or not you can pick and choose from the Bible. Get it together people! I’m not just doing this for the good of my health!
Gee, sir, I’m sorry I made a mistake of classification. But it was the long white beard and the cigar that threw me into the obvious pitfall.
I should have guessed that Freud had nothing to do with evolution!
You be nice to me FD, I’ve just been looking at a battlefield over on BernardK’s post, yesterday re refugees. I feel as old as Charles Darwin/Malcolm Turnbull’s grandmother/whatever.
