Channelling wing-nuts! Can’t be comfortable.
So Bob was thinking what they were thinking? But what of the Zucchinis in Bikinis?
Last two panels best two panels.
The last caption is the one I find sad. Someone that toppled John Howard deserved better.
Apropos the old Sharon O’Neill song:
Creases in your white dress
Bruises on your bare skin
Looks like another fine mess
You’ve got yourself into
Maxine you’re not the only one
To take the whole world on
No one’s ever won… etc
STOP PRESS: Maxine McKew has been appointed Chair of the ABC.
Let the maypole dancing begin.
Damn you HB. You owe me a keyboard.
I survived all of FD’s evil attempts to make me spray coffee all over the screen…….
And then you come along with “zucchinis in bikinis”!!!
(I thought that was “the head of Eric abetz”?)
the best FD i’ve ever seen, by far. FD for head of ABC.
Shhhhh, here comes Mr r’Abbott ….. “Anyone seen my hedgehogs, they were lying around in a some old red Speedos?”
Paddy remember how I got sledged for drinking and Effdogging at the same time ? That !
I’m a bit surprised and a tiny bit disapointu that so few Dogonauts get important roles like flower girls and pageboys for all these marriages made in heaven forbid.
She’ll always have her job as head cheerleader for Kevin Rudd.
I hope the littlies from Manuka PS do the grand final in their tofu pocket gear.
absolute GOLD! Once again well done FD!
P.S. Totally relate to the Kerry O’Brien fantasy. Has the Powerfox been telling you her dreams?
Paddy- apologies for the mess, but it begged to be said.
Pesto presto and pasta!! I predict a likely kartoffel and falafel kerfuffle.
A little tale I’ll tell to you
In Bennelong was Max McKew
The horrible rodent smash-ed she
And went full on for the ALP
But after that I am afeared
Our Max McKew just disappeared
And did a Kernot – you know how
Except the bit with you know who
The electorate just didn’t care
Beyond that Howard wasn’t there
The fickle lot gave not a hoot
And return-ed some Lib’ral galoot.
A ball-boy it was we soon found out
Who’s supposed to serve them well, no doubt
On synthetic grass he’s said to shine
In the right hand court
Past the basest line.
So we’ll sit and wait for the umpire’s call
Will he ace it up ?
Footfault or fall ?
Will he stand for virtue ?
Safest bet ?
Will he hang right back or rush the net ?
Or partner Tony for a set or two
Then fade right out like Max McKew.
In the cabinet.
that was a kermit.
I meant kernot.
Good one MJ.
What tune is it to? I started out with Gilligan’s Island in mind but the metre changed.
(offstage) help…. plimsolls march on parleymints.
there’s a lot in a hat.
You’re cruel FD, hasn’t Maxine suffered enough?
And I didn’t even say Erica Betts.
first Dog , have you got Eric Abetz name right ? I thought it was Erich Abetz on his birth certificate ?
Aaagh! I’m now going to think of Bob Katter every time I eat a banana!
Erica Betz? Naa! Mrs r’Abbott.
Well done First Dog.
It’s Aids and Abets.
Love the drunken chihuahua (“hola!”) and that final frame, First Dog.
It’s a refreshingly honest answer and an improvement on the response Gillard usually spouts ie: “Well, Kerry, I don’t accept your premise…”
Mr Onthemoon this one had me on the edge of my seat.
Goodbye Kevin Rudd
Though I hardly knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered in Julia’s brain
They set her in your rightful place
But she couldn’t run a campaign.
And it seems to me I now live my life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
Now you’re a has been
And I really liked assisting you
As third parliamentary secretary
If only you were still the leader
I wouldn’t have been buried.
Thanks EMC. Good choice Gilligan’s Island. Sorry to disappoint you on the meter - I’ll pick a tune and stick to it next time
Nice work, too Innocent. Knives out for Bitar ? You bet. But Bill will have his mother-in-law to fall back on (oops, I could be sent to the Tower for that one ….)
First Dog
You are the greatest.
Without fail, your cartoon improves my day.
MJ: I thought of crediting your work with the inspiration, but I thought it might look too much like spreading the blame.
P.S. It is a parody of Maxine McKew. In a forum like this, I think maybe parodies need an asterisked footnote.
