Michael Leunig — Strange Creature

Viking 2003 Paperback, 176pp. This collection sees Michael Leunig at his fiery, passionate best-protesting the war in Iraq and Australia's current 'leaders. ' Strange Creature is irreverent, iconoclastic, scathing, and-as always with Leunig-deeply perceptive. But even when he's ridiculing the enemy, he can't help being delightful. This volume is big, bold, and more colourful than ever-a kind of up-market scrapbook of humour and dissent. It includes newspaper headlines from relevant stories at the time, photos, and some exquisite, full-colour paintings. All in all, a new and slightly different look for the annual Leunig collection. Large. Front cover creased, otherwise very good. (ISBN: 9780670041367). Good.
