Well done FD. Just saw your debut on the Andrew Bolt show.
Pity we didn’t get to see any of your cartoons though.

P.S. Loved the Ken Henry fan club bit.

If I had my way I’d have you out doing something useful; like rounding up sheep, counterbalancing the motorbike and wattering fence posts. Forget about all this fame rubbish. ” Git away around them ya useless @#$%*&^ monrel. Go on git!”

Oh Firstdog you’re a legend. Gee the PM and Malcolm watch Insiders so you’ll be in the eyes of political and corporate legends. I’m always proud of you for being out there on the trail with a real scent for the relevant. Will you be sporting your sulphur-crested cockie on your shoulder, holding a pottoroo, echidna or quoll? This is expectation-building stuff. We might get to see a pheasant coucal or Jasper and your friend’s divine Arthur? Hope you took your day-bed home so you can watch your free-to-air fame in comfort. Gee good luck and don’t worry about looking like a cod with whiskers. Just as long as you dont have the spots!

Hey Hey FD!! You’re on your way to fame and fortune. If we’re ever at an airport and see you sporting Craig McLachlan shades we’re never going to speak to you…but then you won’t want to speak to us. PS Did you get to see Barry’s hair up close and is he really Bob Hawke with a facelift?

OMG!!
After all this time of worshiping at the shrine of FDOTM.
Come Sunday………. The awful truth will be revealed.

He’s actually BARRY CASSIDY!!!
