'Bruce Petty is the closest we've ever come to producing our own Picasso, and I love him.' — Bill Leak, Australian

This beautifully produced full colour hardback features cartoons, illustrations and artwork — much of it previously unpublished — from one of our most original and loved political cartoonists. With incisive wit and anarchic style, Bruce Petty's art explores the human condition in all its strange comedy and tragedy. His pictures are filled not only with compassionate observations of individual foibles and folly, but also with the grand subjects of politics, history, art, religion, and philosophy. From small-time political chicanery to the secret world of global finance, from consumerism to climate change, from the inanity of the internet to the genius of Mozart, Petty's unruly pen traces the deep and unexpected interconnections between things to reveal the workings of the world.
