Bobbi is a proper grumpy bugger - this is our cat and regularly calls us arseholes 😂

Morning whānau! Some of you might not know but I'm studying for a degree in animation. Last week for my stop motion class I made this very tiny paper-puppet clip. I'm just getting started... hope you enjoy! P.s. no sound (in time there will be 😃) #NZPol #Nash #BigMouth

My final cartoon for Stuff www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3610... It's been an honour & a pleasure to create as many cartoons as I have for Aotearoa. - - today's toon is the cult of NZ First and the blind obedience of its MP's & members... And the ridiculousness of Jones! #NzPol #PoliticalCartoon

Cartoon. Title: THE DIVIDER

Shane Jones stands on stage behind a lectern. Speaking to his obsessed fans/supporters.

"IM CALLING ON OTHER POLITICIANS TO TAKE OFF YOUR KNEE PADS...

(ITS A COMMON EXPRESSION TO ILLUSTRATE A RIDICULOUS LEVEL OF OBSEQUIOUSNESS!)

A woman in the crowd turns round to someone and asks, "WHAT THE HELL IS HE TALKING ABOUT?".

A very old man with stars in his eyes says, "I DONT KNOW! I'm just soaking up the vibes!"

I've been let go by Stuff today as one of their weekly cartoonists. I'm incredibly gutted. I've been with the paper for over 8 years. To every person who read, shared, laughed or felt seen by my work. Thank you. You're my people! I won't give up. Just need some time to recalibrate.

Bobbi our cat. Sleeping in an upside down cat bed. Have had it for years and she's never wanted a bar of it. Until yesterday. I'll spend some time with my family to work out what to do next. For now know that I've appreciated your kindness and championing of my toons. Kia kaha whānau ❤️‍🩹

No cartoon today folks. Had a gastro bug over the weekend. I'm getting better but I do not recommend. Not one bit. A very old toon below but with what's been online the last few days quite pertinent. Keep safe out there today whānau ❤️‍🩹

An old cartoon from January 2024. A New Year's Eve special. The earth is smoking holding their mobile phone looking stressed as the words "RECORD TEMPS! DROUGHTS! STORMS, FLOODS!" Beep out. The moon behind covers their eyes peeping a little and swearing.

I did a cartoon of Stuart Nash and Harete Hipango last year. The bargain basement is getting more and more goods this year...

Cartoon. Title: NZ FIRST PARTY CONFERENCE

The room has been set. Winston Peters pulls a large bargain bin onto the conference stage. And inside it Stuart Nash (sacked and disgraced ex-Labour Party member) sits next to ex-National Party member Harete Hipango (antivaxxer). Winston is saying, "Look! Our new secret weapons!" Whilst smoking.

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3610... The bogeymen under your bed are trying to frighten the hell out of you... time to turn the light on! #NzFirst #NzPol #Cartoon #ScareTactics

Cartoon. Title: NZ FIRST'S BEDTIME STORIES.

An older woman sits up in her bed reading a book (titled: I'm too old for this) whilst she looks down grimacing at the four bogeymen under her bed.

Winston Peters, Michael Laws, Stuart Nash and finally Elliott Ikilei. Peters is saying, "BEWARE OF WOKE LEFTIES, FOREIGNERS, CLIMATE GROUPIES, EGOTISTICAL MOUTH BREATHERS..."

You can imagine him droning on and on and on.

We've been given a month's free of Sky ARTS and I found this documentary. Gonna watch over the weekend. '𝑫𝒓𝒂𝒘 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆' This is their website: www.autlookfilms.com/films/draw-f... #Cartoons #PoliticalCartoons

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3610... For the people crowing how great this plan is... in a climate of costs exploding, fuel, food, clothing, medicine, dental, education etc this is just another cost that'll push the most vulnerable into choosing between living or existing.

Cartoon. Two panels with a title stretched over one to the other.

COST OF LIVING... CRISIS...

An uncanny valley caricature of Luxon standing with hands in pockets staring down the viewer. He's saying, "I know what will help!"

And in the 2nd panel he's acting like superman ripping his shirt open to reveal a kiwisaver tshirt (Poua he Oranga) with a beaming smile shouting, "COMPULSORY KIWISAVER!"

Note: in a time when things are going well forcing people to save is great. And don't get me wrong savings are needed whether it's bad or good. But right now it's the wrist it's ever been.

There are so many stats showing we're in worst times than previous generations.

People are ultimately taking a pay cut if this goes ahead.

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3610... Elon's now a trillionaire... and what does he do with that wealth? A lot of damage. #ElonMusk #Caricature #LifeOfBrian #Cartoon #Grok

Standing at the window Elon Musk wears his infamous leather pilot jacket. Looking pleased with himself. The people behind shout, "He's not the Messiah! He's a very naughty boy" whilst holding two newspapers.

One says, 'TIME FOR IT TO DIE' HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CHILD DEATHS ATTRIBUTED TO USAID CUTS

And the other paper says, MUSK'S GROK Ai
CREATED 1.8M SEXUALLY EXPLICİT IMAGES DE WOMEN + CHiLDREN iN O DAYS LAST YEAR.

Cartoon. Title: Freeloading. One panel with a large knuckle-dragging Pete Hegseth who's got his security detail squeezing National's Chris Penk - he's saying "Nice country you've got there... it'd be a shame if anything were to... HAPPEN TO IT...

Cartoon. Title: THE LOBBY

Luxon is scratching the backs of two lobbyists - FONTERRA AND Z ENERGY - the two lobbyists scratch Luxon's back. Everyone is happy and the lobbyists say, "Ahbyeah!! That's the spot!!"

My cartoon in today's Sunday Star Times. www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3610... Nicola Willis, finance minister for the coalition, said she's taking an axe to civil servants jobs! Nearly 9,000 of them... #Caricature #NicolaWillia #NzPol #Cartoon #NzBudget

Cartoon. The Shinning - one of the most famous scenes in the movie where Johnny smashes his way through the bathroom door with an axe to get to his wife.

Here instead we have Nicola Willis smashing down the door with an axe trying to get at the beehive - this beehive has arms and legs. Its mouth is wide open (windows for teeth) and eyes wide from fear.

She's screaming "HERE'S NICKY!"

That's what I had intended... 😭😭😭 but my team said it was too a niche idea 😭😭😭

Erica Stanford with the "I really don't care do you?" Jacket on as she bowls all the teens out of her way

"I really don't care do you?" Jacket wearing Erica Stanford whilst a teen asks "what about neurodivergent youth...like me?'l title is NCEA SCRAPPED

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3610... Erica Stanford is hellbent on 'upgrading' NZ's educational system... and isn't fazed by who it hurts or pushes out... #NzPol #EricaStanford #Cartoon

Cartoon. Title: EDUCATIONAL UPGRADE

Erica Stanford storms down a school corridor knocking school kids into the lockers shouting, "Out of the way! Change... is coming!"

The kids say, "What about... us..."

One kid in a wheelchair is knocked backwards, a girl with hearing aids is holding her knee, one kid with his service dog is upset and a neurodivergent child on her knees is sad.

A deadly desert with a man on the ground searching endlessly for something...could it be water? No, it's a Labour supporter and he's calling for "Policies... Policies...."

(((𝙴𝚖𝚖𝚊𝙲𝚘𝚘𝚔)))@creativeelc· May 11

My cartoon on today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3610... A lot of people are feeling despondent & rightfully angry. The opposition needs to get its shit together as many don't believe they're doing anything to push back on the destruction of our motu. #NzPol #Cartoon #WheresWally

Cartoon looking like a stamp. Title: WHERE'S CHIPPY? In the style of Where's Wally books. A schoolgirl has the book open and on one page Chris is standing at the bottom of a hill smiling. On the second he's sitting on a park bench feeding the birds.

The little girl says, "Aaaw no... doesn't the Wally realise there's an election on?"

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3609... Seymour and the Ministry of cutting red tape sure as hell love adding as much bureaucratic levels as possible to people, communities and business. The man of 'small govt' my arse... #NzPol #Cartoon #RedTape

Cartoon. David Seymour, the man of 'efficiency', 'cutting red tape' is standing at the foot of an incredibly steep mountainous hill. Waggling his hand towards a business woman struggling to push up a huge roll of red tape - just like Sisyphus - she's giving Seymour an angry stare as she tries to push it up the hill on the side of the tape reads - ACT's Immigration Policies 2026.

Little Seymour is saying, "I'm making it easier for business!". In the distance behind him a grey overpowering Beehive looms.

Jim Hubbards cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3609... @thepost-nz.bsky.social Luxon has a voodoo doll next to his bed and snuggles soundly with his little teddy bear... #NzPol #Cartoon #Voodoo

One panel cartoon. Luxon is in bed with his cuddly ZB radio teddy bear. On the night stand a voodoo doll with TVNZ emblazoned on it and over 20 sharp pins penetrating its human form body.

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3609... META the biggest vulture of them all continues to allow scam adverts on their platforms. In 2024 they made over $27 billion (NZD). And are still getting away with it now... #Cartoon #Meta #Vultures

Single panel cartoon. An old white man sits at his computer clicking through adverts on Meta's website. In the screen pops up a deepfake of Christopher Luxon saying, "Invest now! not fake! Legit!". The clue here is he has 7 fingers on the hand he's using to wave.

Then a huge vulture with the words META emblazoned on its wings flys into his room and perches on the window frame. He says, "Of course your money Barry matters!" The old dude sheepishly looks towards it and clicks anyway.

On the old printer behind him (a dot matrix printer) the words read: META 2024 10% Revenue from scam ads and banned goods $27 billion (NZD)

On Instagram the legendary Whakataki Times submit a hilarious article 😂 #NzPol #WhakatakiTimes #KiwiOnion www.instagram.com/p/DXaervbjT1...

Screen shot from the Whakataki Times Instagram page. A photo of a group of MP's sitting in a circle on the Parliament floor. Luxon's face has been superimposed onto another MP's face. The title says: 'Luxon says "compliment circle" will boost self confidence and self worth ahead of election'

(((𝙴𝚖𝚖𝚊𝙲𝚘𝚘𝚔)))@creativeelc· Apr 20

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/topics/post-... The anchor is dragging the National Party down... #NzPol #Cartoon #Caricature

Out on the open sea the National mini speed boat has its engine clunking in the air as it gets pulled down by a huge anchor. The anchor is a rusty Luxon head shouting, "IM NOT GOING ANYWHERE!" Chris Bishop is pleading with him to let go, Nicola Willis clings to Bishop, Simeon is trying to stop the boat from sinking with a trusted bucket and Tama is at the back trying to start the engine. It's a shit show.

(((𝙴𝚖𝚖𝚊𝙲𝚘𝚘𝚔)))@creativeelc· Apr 13

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3609... Luxon on RNZ yesterday sounded pretty happy with himself... wouldn't answer how they'd be dealing with climate change though... #NzPol #ClimateChange #Cartoon #Luxon

Cartoon. No title today. Luxon is standing in a muddy field surrounded by loose sheep saying to himself, "PHEW! DODGED A BULLET!" The angry cyclone cloud passing in front of him but three angry clouds behind him are coming this way.

(((𝙴𝚖𝚖𝚊𝙲𝚘𝚘𝚔)))@creativeelc· Apr 6

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3609... Green's MP Kahurangi Carter's parody and satire bill's being debated in parliament. This bill amends the Copyright Act 1994. Protecting the right to take the piss! #NzPol #Cartoon #Caricature
