the Power Fox sure has a cute laugh and its so nice to see it bounding about laughing at fat drunken babies and I’m not quite sure if I like Boney Blabbit’s penis skulking about using the Aussie flag as a Cassock … . . oh wait, I hear the sounds of Divo’s Whip it, whip it good, doodoodoodo do do.
I think jasper Le Chat is having an affair with Laurie Oakes
Jasper voting for Laurie Oakes?
Jasper strikes me as one of those individuals who would relish using his voting paper to scrawl a message in capital letters telling the Australian Electoral Commission and all political aspirants to feck off.
See you got to that baby- I nearly sent it to you straight from the Border Mail! Sadly, it bears a strong resemblance to many local voters.
I’m hoping for an M-People-type spoof featuring ‘Moving Forward’: that’s how sad it’s got.
…Meanwhile the crabs of Australia feel maligned and head to Mirriam Vale for the great Siderising (pong Nickdmiller).
“moving forward” is now on my first reply in all outgoing correspondence, even answering the phone. it beats to hell out “hello”, “hi” and even “good morning or afternoon”…try it, you will love it and challange is to say it like Julia does
That first frame made me laugh and laugh. It is infectious. Fat babies are funny.
It looks like it’s trying to slug her one with its little pink fist. I blame the parents.
That fat baby is the former member for Balmain - Peter Crawford. Finally made it into federal politics - after that um, embarrassing defeat by Dawn Fraser - proving that chlorine kills everything - including ideology.
She really cuts a dash, the Powerfox - and the newest of the slogans for bogans - ABT - Anybody but Tony.
@ Michael Matusik
Thanks, you’ve just provided the key to surviving the next 33 days (perhaps several years) of an overdose of ‘moving forward’. One way to fight it is for us to say it more than Gillard does. Another survival mechanism is to distort it - MOWING forward!
@ Sam
You’re right, not only is this a meaningless weasel phrase but it’s highly discriminatory towards crabs.
nobody seems to have commented yet that ‘working families’ has been replaced with ‘hard-working Australians’, and will be used as relentlessly as ‘moving forward’
I saw some protesters wearing budgie smugglers accosting Abbott yesterday. I truly hope that it is a recurring theme during the campaign, and that crowds of Speedo-wearers stalk him wherever he goes
Bout time a federal election started getting the piss taken out of it. It’s way too depressing being caught between The Forwardly Mobile Fox (who did a cracker of an interview on 60 Minutes even if she and Charles Woolley got a room after) and the Mad Monk, with only the could-be heroes yet hopelessly ineffective Greens as alternatives. Go Dog!! Best cartoon in ages.
I’ll vote for Laurie Oakes when he does at least one unassisted push-up on national television.
Hang on - give that baby some glasses and suit … .
Can somebody here in the Dogonaut Lounge explain the baby/politician/electioneering thingo?
Why do ‘hardworking Australians’ shove their progeny in Gillard’s or Abbott’s face? What’s it all about? This is one instance where I almost feel sorry for politicians, at times they must cross paths with some very unattractive offspring.
@ Zut Alors Two words, photo opportunity.
Just think, in twenty years and six months time at little (!) Tahrnecia’s Twenty First, there’ll be a photo of her with the (by then) ex-PM in the future equivalent of a PowerPoint presentation over pop music of the day.
That, and the minders scour the centres for babies for the press photo.
Kissing hands, and shaking babies.
Holden, ‘Great name - Tarnecia - it sounds like a skin complaint featuring surprising hair growth.
Socratease, laughed so hard at your image of Laurie doing just one push up I think I busted my hernia truss.
Do we have a note from Venise and ‘shoe’s Mums ?
Holden Back,
Thanks, I hear you… but it still remains a mystery why anyone would give a toss.
Congratulations on Tahrnecia, it’s an outstanding name. Mike J thinks it’s a skin complaint but it reminds me of a polite cuss my old aunt used to make ie: Tarnation!
They’d make a lovely pair of twins, Tahrnecia and Tarnation.
Does that hideous kid even vote? It looks as though it’s been photoshopped. And not in a good way.
Le souris est en dessous de la table. Le chat est sans domicile fixe. Le singe Work Choices et sur le dos de Tony Abbot.
“It looks like it’s been photoshopped, and not in a good way”. I don’t know why but this made me laugh as much as the cartoon did (that’s a compliment to both btw). Indeed, anyone but Abbott, but I liked Julia a lot more when I hardly knew anything about her and didn’t have to contemplate her as a border-protecting, gay-marriage-denying, totally-the-same-as-every-other-disappointing-dickhead leader.
Sorry dog.
Innocent, c’est vrai. Le singe est right sur le dos de l’homme aux grandes oreilles.
La plume de ma tante est sur la table. Quelle surprise!
If either of them make any promises I want to see it in writing
^ What difference will that make?
I believe. There are many things to do. Moving forward. I hope. You will. Forget the past. And. Abbott should forget. About stopping the boats. He should. Worry about other landings. I have arrived. From the planet RedDork. I am moving forward….forward….forward. {slap} I invite Australia. To join me. me. me. me.
(Here for the first time you can see Swan with a nervous smile, looking for more.)
‘I saw some protesters wearing budgie smugglers accosting Abbott yesterday. I truly hope that it is a recurring theme during the campaign, and that crowds of Speedo-wearers stalk him wherever he goes’
Only if it works - it might be better if they wear them on their heads.
Can we have a smudgie bugler please, FDOTM
Yesterday’s Speedo-adorned heckler forgot the chest hairs and the simian swagger.
Last week I was on a 43rd floor somewhere and couldn’t sleep because of the light of unsustainable energy flowing all night through the unit. Just imagine. I was a delegate on a health mission. Is that ‘nation’s Emergency wards or words’ in frame 3?
MIKE JONES: No note from my mum. She said I can do anything.
Is it just me or does that baby look like Stewie?
CHINDA63: Do you look like Stewie? I don’t know. Do I know who Stewie is? Sorry I am having a bad day of confusion and an identity crisis of my own as well. :sad bit wonkers: :politics:
