Truly wonderful toon today, Doggie. Every frame a winner.

I can hear the band playing “Nearer My Dog to Thee”

This is the last time I’m going on one of these cruises. And since you mentioned it, yes, I’ll have some more ice with the mojito.

I’m already working on the second page of my forthcoming book – soon to be out on Kindle. It’s called “Political Judgment for Complete Farking Idgets” – kind of how to do sitting comedy without looking like you’re even trying a tiny tiny bit.

I’m expecting a fairly small number of buyers – Labor sitting members.

Mr Dog, you’ve encapsulated the gist of the past 5 years in that final priceless frame.

Miraculously, the ALP govt managed to add yet another way to the normal 100 ways to stvff up being in govt ie: remove the most popular ALP leader ever. Sublimely innovative, such brilliant strategy. It’s worked so expeditiously for them they are currently a cert in the Shoot Yourself In The Foot Awards.

Love the idea that a government can opt for ‘Misère’ as a tactic! Maybe the ALP could take ultimate jump into ‘Grand Misère’ and go for zero votes (aka the Bart Simpson Gambit)
