A perceptive study of the past political year is presented in this collection of Australian political cartoons created by such sardonic luminaries as Judy Horacek, Jon Kudelka, Sean Leahy, David Pope, Andrew Weldon, and Cathy Wilcox. Moving from irony to anger, these cartoons skewer the pomposity, the glib rhetoric, the untruths, and often outright lies put forth by the political elite.

Containing more than 160 examples of the cartoonists’ art, this book is a tribute to the artistry, power, and vitality of these comic artists and the medium.
