Guest Review Scribe’s new collection of cartoons from the ten-and-abit years of Howard rule offers a fantastic overview of the best of current Australian political cartooning - and I say that not just because it features some of my cartoons. Russ Radcliffe, the book’s editor, has been responsible for Scribe’s annual Best Australian Political Cartoons series, and this book adds to Scribe’s valuable and hilarious cataloguing of Australia’s modern history through our cartoons. The book is beautifully produced, with sharp, generously sized, colour reproductions of cartoons, juxtaposed with pertinent political quotes. It takes you on a trip back through the chamber of horrors that has been the last ten years of political life in Australia. War on the Wharfs! Tampa! The Pacific Solution! AWB! Iraq! Yikes. To be honest, I’d completely blocked a couple of the Howard Horrors from my memory until I read this book (‘Peter Reith! That guy. Yeeech’) – after all, there’s only so much outrage you can contain at one time. This is a great collection, and one that makes you grateful there’s an election coming. A funny, infuriating document of our times. *Andrew Weldon is one of Australia’s leading cartoonists. His work is featured in Man of Steel.*
