Strange Creature

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.
