NO NEED TO KILL HIM NOW
Possibly trying to avoid his Islamic Thinkers Society fatwa, Michael Leunig depicts George W. Bush as the devil:
Imaginative!
UPDATE. Further thoughts from Andrew Bolt.
Michael has put down the pen and fired up photoshop. Clearly he was inspired by his comrades at Associated Press.

A man with a hairdo like this has no business playing with anybody’s hair much less attempting political satire.
Oh, and by the way this image took me exactly four seconds in Photoshop (yes, I timed myself). Can I be a National Living Treasure as well? No? Well how about a job at Fairfax and the whole back page.
#3. HAHAHAhahahhaaaaaa.
So. He stands with Chavez. Bush wouldn’t do anything to him, but Chavez just passed a law making it a crime to speak against his government and the duck’s ass would go to jail for a similar portrayal.
Grimmy is right. If Bush were all that some people accuses him of, we’d never hear anyone say it.
I actually laughed, mostly because the accompanying text was so demented that it’s incomprehensible, and therefore (in this context) somehow funny. It’s an improvement, at least, on Leunig’s bitter, sadsack “humor” attempts.
Bush looks kind of cute with “shampoo horns,” by the way. I think he should come out to a press conference with his hair moussed up like that, just to freak people out.

Remember the reaction from the press (mainly here in Australia and the UK) when he gave the Texas Longhorns salute at his inaugeration? They almost had orgasms since they thought he was making the sign of the devil and was confirming all their prejudices.

Posted by Susan Norton on 2006 10 03 at 12:03 AM • permalink#14 it does seem like a rather light-hearted, self-mocking cartoon in a way… a welcome relief from the heavy-handed lecturing he’s taken to of late.

Mind you, there’s more of it about than you’d think.
We all know about this imp, and the plagues he’s released on mankind; fortunately there’s still some brave blue-state liberals prepared to resist the power of evil.
At least Leun’s original.
Leunig’s opinion of Bush as the devil? Adolescent, passe and even worse, not funny or insightful.
Intersting take he has on Your Say - I take it to mean that he doesn’t think very much at all of the comments and/or insights of people who read newspapers or who, perhaps, think that Bush is not the devil.
I think it’s his way of saying he’s disgusted with Bush obviously AND with the Australian populace.
Interesting. Ve-ry interesting.
Posted by carpefraise on 2006 10 03 at 06:51 AM • permalinkBolt’s post is perfect and clearly shows Michael Leunig for the hypocrite he is. That this bucket ‘o shite is an Australian Living Treasure is beyond belief. And what the %$#& does the “cartoon” even mean?
Australian Living Treasure
I can see quite a few that could do with burying if thats what they mean?

Are you sure that that isn’t just a ducktail haircut?
