Wow it’s like that time I stayed up all night watching Rage.
When’s the tee shirt going to be released?…I want one.
Memo to Federal Pollies and Your Spin Doctors …….. the Bogan Sloganeers ……
See how my back is turned ?
Translation: Just shut the f*ck up !
Clear enough arsehats ?
Sorry, I forgot …
FD, do you remember before the Bali banana chair incident I asked you for two, that’s right Dogonauts, TWO T-shirts because you said I couldn’t have one frame on the front and another on the back ? Like somehow well beyond dog-tech capability ……..
Do you reckon I might get them before summer 2010/11 is over and it’s too cold to show them off next year ?
Memo to Crikey …… customer with cash and a short attention span ….. suggest anything to you ?
Like a lizard drinkin’ I’m flat out and up to the minute. I went looking at wetlands interstate, but it makes no difference where I go or what I do. I’ll always be loving yoose. ps what does this cartoon mean, FD. I paid good money.
Bastard foreign cartoonists!!
Why can’t they learn English like all those nice Welsh immigrants.
Apparently happiness peaks at 50 according to a recent survey of 340,000 people living in the USA. Feelings of joy increase, apparently, as we pass the half-century mark, with stress, anger and worry diminishing. I don’t know what this actually means when it comes to both Julia and Tony, except at 53 Tony might be a bit happier than Julia, who, according to Wikipedia, is 49. Hmmmmmmm, now this might explain the real reason of the PM’s “Moving Forward” anthem – Julia wants to get to 50 and quick.
this looks like what I’m going to throw up if I hear “it” or see another picture of the mad monk nearly nude one more time. add the continuing reminders of bob and blanche’s octogenarian sex scenes to the list as well. please …deliver us from election campaigns and coinciding biographies!
Yup, first and possibly best t-shirt of the campaign.
Political junkies complaining because their stuff is cut with filler.
Thank god we won’t have 5 weeks of pure policy. We’d be dead by day 5.
The 10% of voters that really counts don’t use and have probably only heard it a couple of times secondhand.
I’m seriously giving up this time. I can do it any time I like.
Dead set man, can yuz help us out eh?
Filler or filter? What could be the difference? There is not even a fig leaf with an Australian flag on it between the private parts of the Abbott in previous recent cartoons and the dogonauts?
Implication is Conroy can whistle a treat, but the Abbott is liberated in lycra.
This whole picture embodies my present state of being. Sort of motion sickness with a touch of gastrointestinal disorder like a raccoon on a carousel. I’ve not had symptoms like this during an election before.
Kerry O’Brien really stuck the “moving forward’ slogan to PM Gillard last night but she is not listening, folks! He tried to convey how vacuous and irritating it is but Gillard stuck to her guns: she likes moving forward, she’s determined we’ll all move forward. Strewth.
Dogonauts, remember the old homily: you can move a horse forward but you can’t make it drink.
Let’s see - a car without reverse. That’d be Moving Forward.
Toughen up people. Yesterday morning at 5 am I heard the first koel of Spring. Compared to the relentless monotony of their pre-dawn calls, moving forward is a rare and treasured song. The election will be over before the koel calls were supposed to start.
@Zut, I’ve found, over the years, that if you feed a horse enough chillies….
It will drink!
Now then children. If we can just persuade Miss Ranga, that we’ve bought her a nice red apple for play lunch…….
We might be able to stem the bleeding from our ears.
Two words: T-Shirt. Although my Action Plan for this would be more than two words. My action plan would be :
Moving forward the Australian people deserve this on a t-shirt.
Innocent….. surely you’re not …….
Oh, come on MJ. I’m simply not going to believe you are that slow.
No, Innocent, I AM that slow…. or possibly slower.
It’s going off over at the White Rabbit Gallery piece with more than an average day’s views (amazing for just one article) even before lunch. Currently rating at about four views a minute. Somehow got onto Twitter and Facebook.
Cripes !
I looked. I intuited it dutiful. I went away. I know little enough as it is.
