For the first time ever… the ultimate collection of witty and adorable cartoons by First Dog on the Moon, the nation’s only marsupial-based Walkley award-winning cartoonist, in one luxurious illustrated leather-bound edition.*
Covering everything from daily political commentary to Eurovision, from talkback radio to Sandwichgate, this handsome tome contains over 200 of Mr Onthemoon’s greatest hits – the sharp, hilarious, clever, whimsical and occasionally poignant drawings that have made First Dog on the Moon an international celebrity.**
* Not actually leather-bound ** Not actually an international celebrity
First Dog on the Moon (Andrew Marlton) is a Cartoonist for The Guardian Australia, the best and most interesting news website/paper ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
He cartoons there most days holding the nation to account for its folly. First Dog on the Moon is a sneering elitist, and devilishly handsome.
He won a Walkley Award in 2012 and his stage show Cartoobs and other Typos won the Tour Ready Award at Melbourne Fringe in the same year. He was the MOAD Political Cartoonist of the year in 2011. He is making some TV and wrote two books.
A sad but (mostly) true recap of Australian Politics in recent years. May feature satire, marsupials, swear words, Tony Abbott, asylum seekers, penguins & dogs. As a fan of Mr. On The Moon's work I eagerly consumed this treasure over a weekend.
