Praise
‘Satirical political cartoons offer a critical, perceptive, and often explosive, insight into our current affairs, and Best Australian Political Cartoons 2023 delivers an exceptional array of work from the year that was … Russ Radcliffe has combined some of the biggest issues, along with the best cartoonists, to deliver the ultimate coffee table book.’
‘In a world of shrinking column space, cartoons are resilient through their economy, relevance and wit … This excellent collection speaks truth through humour, a spoonful of sugar in increasingly bitter times.’
