The Unduttoning
First Dog on the Moon
In this cartoon, First Dog of the Moon gives his rundown of the election result. It’s full of soul-searching over his own role as part of Peter Dutton’s ‘hate media’, scathing commentary on both sides of politics and a list of all the winners and losers. The last two panels offer a checklist for how things have panned out. Have the endangered Maugean skates been freed? Have we ended up with a Zuko the Malevolent or a Dierdre Ampersand as Leader of the Opposition?
