There are few aspects of human existence to which Leunig has not turned his renaissance mind, ranging from the sublime to the seemingly ridiculous. In even the smallest things, he sees the larger key. No matter how serious or confronting the topic, he finds the funny side. The uplifting side. The side you didn't even realise was there.
Michael Leunig has been drawing and writing for Australian newspapers since 1965. He was born in Melbourne and now lives on a farm in north-eastern Victoria. His work has been widely published overseas, and has been adapted in Australia for television, theatre and radio.
