LEUNIG’S NEW FANS
Iranian cartoonists like Mike.
UPDATE. Leunig’s cartoon has apparently been removed. May have a further update later.
UPDATE II. Le Monde reports Leunig’s entry (via a wily prankster) in the Iranian Holocaust Cartoon Fest. Here’s a Altavista translation:
The site explains why this first caricature on the Holocaust was sent by certain a Michael Leunig, living in Melbourne, in Australia, “by solidarity with the Moslem world and to exert its freedom of expression”. This last, which says being caricaturist, explains “to have had difficulties in publish this drawing in its own country” and hopes, if the drawing is published, that that “will clarify the hypocrisy of the Occident vis-a-vis at the freedom of expression”. No independent confirmation was however obtained on the voluntary participation of the famous draughtsman.
It acts of a series of two drawings. In the first, heading Auschwitz 1942, one sees a Jew, carrying star of David and a bundle, entering the concentration camp by the surmounted gate of the inscription “work brings freedom”. In the second, heading Israel 2002, the same man, carrying this time a rifle, moves towards the gate of what resembles a battle field, with the inscription “the war brings peace”.
(Via reader Media Monitor)
PS Plain Jane would like to stand up for the law being applied to the head hackers in support of the victims of terror. Leunig need not apply to Janes search for a few good men.

The circus that surrounded the Serrano exhibition at the NGV was well encapsulated by a Leunig cartoon that appeared in the paper at the time. It depicted an outraged Archbishop at the foot of the cross crying, “you’ll be hearing from our lawyers.” Leunig is to my mind quite astute in his observation that the desire to protect and quarantine the sacred can quite easily tend towards the absurd
Funny how the ‘arsewipe’ is not saying that now. I wonder why?
If they like him so much, couldn’t we all chip in and pay for a ticket to get him there. I’d feel a lot better if he wasn’t in Oz anymore. Call me naive, but I never realised just what an idiot he was.
Posted by Mr Snuffalupagus on 2006 02 13 at 09:39 AM • permalinkI really think we aught to take care of our own trash, rather than exporting him somewhere else to nauseate the locals…
i think with a sturdy bit of four by two and a couple of telephone books, the lunatic could maybe change his tune a bit???
if it didn’t turn out to be ultimately successful, it would at least have to be very satisfying….
I stand corrected. You are of course right, Casanova. For all their zaniness, we have no right to inflict Leunig on Iran. It could prove to be disastrous distraction from their nuclear squabbles with the West, and their ability to turn out professional-standard holocaust cartoons. Oh, and with regard to the beating, I’m thinking that it wouldn’t be successful in changing his mind, but you’re damned right about it being satisfying. Wish I’d thought of that solution. :-)
Posted by Mr Snuffalupagus on 2006 02 13 at 10:12 AM • permalinkHmmm, Leunig bleating… cogitate cogitate. Ureaka!!
Is stoop davey around, all we need is to stich leunig into a goat outfit and parachute him in. Leuni will think a good hard rodgering is the prize and the Jihadis IQ will drop every time they have “contact” with him.
The result will be a whole country as dumb as rocks… or has that been done allready?Posted by thefrollickingmole on 2006 02 13 at 10:22 AM • permalinkTim, the second link doesn’t work for me, it says the page can’t be found. The first link is fine, but has no reference to Leunig, and has the message:
Attention
Regarding to clarification of the issue of “Holocaust” this website possibly will be closed by United States, in this case please refer to the following address:
http://www.irancartoon.irI doubt that this site will be blocked by the “United States” (WTF? Which agency? The Religious Secret Police, so secret no one has ever heard of them?!??!), so I suspect other problems.
Including, of course, technical issues with my computer and/or ISP. Or at the Iranian end. Anyone else have a similar problem?
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2006 02 13 at 10:34 AM • permalinkIn what language does “Leunig” translate as “Moore”? I mean, besides English.
Maybe we should organize a movement to admonish and slap Leunig whenever he appears in public…
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2006 02 13 at 10:42 AM • permalinkI can’t get the second link either. As for those at the first link: are they supposed to be funny, or provocative, or what? Mostly they were just incomprehensible.

A four by two? In the US, we call a board of lumber a two by four. In the same way as water going down the drain, is it reversed in Australia?
Posted by wronwright on 2006 02 13 at 01:03 PM • permalinkIn the same way as water going down the drain, is it reversed in Australia?
That’s a myth. But, anyway, they do the same thing here in England: 4x2” lumber, 10x8” photos, etc.
If I understand that page properly, most of the cartoons have nothing to do with the Holocaust contest. The baby with the world on his diaper is Bulgarian, and is from this contest. And I didn’t get it either.

Ever been to Ohio?
Posted by Stoop Davy Dave on 2006 02 13 at 04:57 PM • permalinkWhat? Not again! Two disparaging remarks in one night about my fair homeland. All right, get out the old cut and paste and let’s do some Tim Blair quality editing.
What the ...?
CINCINNATI! Hotbed of sin and corruption?Ohio, a bad place?Ok, maybe I haven’t mentioned this here. But if you should know one thing about the United States of America, it’s this:
Cincinnati elected George Bush as President.Ohio elected President BushWe did it.
NotCleveland,the Mistake on the Lake. NotDayton,the little Detroit of Ohio, god help us all. NotFindlay,home of Ben Roethesberger, the Ohioan who refused to play football for Ohio State,the little bitch,and recently led the Pittsburgh Stoolers to win the Super Bowl,the traitorous little shit.NotColumbus,notAkron,noteven Clark County(although yes, they did vote mostly for George Bush, notwithstanding The Guardian’s grand design to persuade a bunch of Red Man chewing farmers).But
And for that matter,not Texas, not Florida, not Sydney, not Melbourne, not London, not Toronto.Cincinnati. We did that.Ohio, especially Cincinnati. We did that.(cue

Perhaps some people making comments on this would to make a few apologies to one, Michael Leunig?
Maybe leunig could start by apologising for being an anti-semitic bigot?
Posted by Lucky Nutsacks on 2006 02 14 at 12:01 AM • permalinkhey man (or janice) i’m a sandgroper… west aussie through and through so i will just ignore that Victorian backhander!!! :o)
and i don’t recall hearing it referred to as a 2x4??? anyway its sounds much more painful to me to hit someone with a 4x2 than a 2x4??? the dimensions may still work out to 8 square feet or something, but that 4 at the start sounds a lot more ominous to me!!! :o)

Perhaps someone is talking in their prissy little schoolmarm voice because someone just needs a good slap?

Isn’t the work 100% written and done by Leunig? Why did he even claim that it was a hoax then? Its not a forgery - its a genuine thing. He should be happy- he finally managed to get his work published.
Posted by Wylie Wilde on 2006 02 14 at 03:19 AM • permalinkit’s 4x2 - that’s why they’re called fourbies. as in hey achmed, if you can’t find those baseball bats we’ll liberate some fourbies on the way to cronulla. try saying it with twobies instead & jackass achmed will get all confused & think you are talking about tubes of beer, causing his monobrow to wrinkle violently in alarm & puzzlement. he may slap you
31 - my we have a civil tongue don’t we? a racist is a person who descriminates against a person or group of people because of their ‘race’ - to date I don’t think Michael Leunig has done such a thing. He has been critical of governments, institutions, and people in power in various countries - regardless of their race.
32 - first of all a Semite includes all people who have Semitic languages, which includes Arabs, Palestinians, and Jews (the later of which I am a member).
36 - the hoax was pretending to be Michael Leuinig, the work was copyrighted and the person making the submission was breaking the law on at least two counts
I believe that Michael was happy with the work.
The reason (apart from the fact someone pretended to be him) that Michael was probably unhappy was that it is not about the holocaust per se… it is about the irony of a group of people who were subjected to such violence would then in turn perform such violence on others.
You might like what he has to say - but that is a part of living in a social liberal society. Just remember that prophets are often crucified by the people for what they say - then afterwards we realise that were right!

This is truly sick. He doesn’t stand up for freedom of speech in defiance of intimidators of freedom. Rather he supports the freedom from speech imposed by the head hackers and professional haters. Leunig now feeds the hypocritical, insane, hate merchants of the Muslim world. As a show of solidarity with the Bali 88 I would dearly like to see Leunig forced to live under Sharia law somewhere, anywhere as long as it isn’t in Brackistan.
