Michael Leunig is an editorial cartoonist for The Age, a newspaper in 
Melbourne, Australia. I read The Age fairly regularly even though I live in 
California, because it's a good newspaper not owned by Rupert Murdoch that's 
based in a place that is far away from me. Most other big Australian 
newspapers are owned by Murdoch's News Corp, and aren't as satisfying. (The 
Age is owned by Australia's *other* big media conglomerate, Fairfax 
Holdings).

After 5 years of reading Leunig cartoons in The Age I consider him to be one 
of the most talented assassins in the industry. You *really* don't want to 
be on the receiving end of his quiet savagery. Though you do have to know 
something about Australian politics to get the full effect sometimes.
