Who shot who in the what now? David Pope is a political cartoonist whose work in The Canberra Times has frequently made both AusPol and the Political Cartoons thread go all  I don't know a Plebiscite from a Platypus, how am I goin' to get enjoyment from your strange Upside Down color pictures? The post after this will contain a Who/What/Why of Pope's common caricatures, so you can play along at home, it will fill out in time. I've never played Knifey-Spoony before, what the hell is goin' on? I'll mention Things that Happened as well as any more pecular cultural references under the relevant cartoons, as well. Anyone who wants to fill out more detail on a subject is welcome to do so, and if I get something wrong you can point that out too. I'll be posting in chronological order with 5 cartoons per post.

These people run our country Tony Abbott: Prime Minister of Australia.  Joe Hockey: Treasurer. National Budgets have layers.  Mattias Corrman: Senator with a Germanic accent who said something about "economic girlie-men"  Malcolm Turnbull: Minister for Tin Cans and Pieces of String because why replace the copper network with optical fiber now, when you can do it twenty years time!

 1Mattias Corrman cribs off of Arnie  2Former Prime Minister Gough Whitlam dies  3That same day, the Australian Federal Police closes its case on the Balibo Five.  4Tony Abbott toys with the Renewable Energy Target  5  Tony Abbott and Christopher Pyne explain their plan for University Education. After Mr. Squiggle, a beloved Australian kid's show that ran for forty years. Any Australian who was a kid back when it was on will know what a sing-song cry of "Upside Down, Upside Down!" is referring to.

Yo I really like Pope and Rowe, and I know they get under-appreciated in the main thread, but three politoon threads (actually four atm) is pushing it. A possible solution could be posting them in the UK thread maybe? It gets a fraction of the cartoons and usually all in one post, so the Aussie ones could add some variety there. Tone seems to want you guys to be good little colonials anyway! I'll ask them to see if they have any real objections but I think it would be for the best, becuase 3 different politoon threads jesus christ

This more Let's Play: David Pope's archives at the Canberra Times than an active politoon thread

Okay, Xylo is in agreement and it looks like the UK thread is happy to have AusToons. You're free to spread out your Pope Retrospective in there (and people can post any other aus cartoons), where tbh it'll probably get more response than it would have on its own anyway! I reckon you can just copy & paste your character bios in there, and I'll edit a link into the op some time tomorrow
