Leunig lost...

I too am now an 'un fan' of Leunig...I loved his cartoons for their fresh and vibrant, often fantastical view of the world...(See below)...But now, there is such a bitter, self-indulgent, callous, sour twist in so many of his cartoons which I simply cannot endorse... pic.twitter.com/DxVQI6U7gY

feed the inner duck...

Feed the inner duck
Not with social stews
Or fortune based on luck
But give it walks with trees
Deep breaths of country air
The thrill of grass rimmed ponds
The peace of open space
The joy of Nature bonds https://t.co/iAwr75oASm

carrier pigeons?...

Whimsy is such a wonderful thing
This image puts a whole new spin
on the concept of 'carrier pigeons'...
Heavy duty carrier pigeons??? https://t.co/QbCt9I03YA

all the world's great work...

All the world's great work
is done
Without an ego trip
By people who
get on with life
And give some ways a flip https://t.co/WqZddpxLDe

spirit of freedom...

our patched balloon
we must accept that
our spirit of freedom is
soon prey to

My love affair with Leunig's cartoons is endless...
They always challenge and inspire...
Sometimes...unexpectedly...

let it go...

Always have loved Leunig... especially his earlier cartoons...aaah Mr Curly and that inimitable duck... But the cartoon below must be high on my list of favourites... It is jaunty, devil-may-care and so very simply uplifting... https://t.co/ez8iQ7pbve

P.S. I have also found Leunig's cartoons a great source for helping secondary students recognise, and form an understanding of, satire...
