Ron Cobb spent a lot of his life in Australia, and so some of his work is Australia-oriented. This one is a comment on American military/intel/political presence in Australia. My personal pick:

Ron Cobb cartoon set in outback Australia, a man speaking to his wife and child stating that he 'can hear country music' while, hidden beneath their feet, is a USAF missile silo with a technician listening to music. It's a comment on how little Australians might know about US presence and influence in Australia.

Even in Australia, they are amongst us...😱

Dear @albomp.bsky.social , Max Kaiser has got it right. I am angrier than I have been for a long time after watching the delivery of the 'antisemitism' recommendations today. I could go on, and on, but he has encapsulated my feelings far better than I could. Who is running this country? #auspol

Are charity fundraisers allowed to operate near polling places in Canada? This morning the polling place I attended was in a school assembly hall, with Lions Club doing the sausages, P&C selling cakes under a covered area just outside and a commercial coffee van close by. View from the queue:

We have exactly that choice unfortunately, with this object, Peter Dutton, AKA Temu Trump, AKA Spud (potato-like object) being the billionaire-funded Trump/Republican sycophant leader of the opposition who we really don't want to see being invested as Prime Minister next Sunday🤮

Vietnam Moratoriums - Boomers, lots of them, standing up to the right-wing government of the day. Also, when Harold Holt said 'all the way with LBJ', during LBJ's 1966 visit to Melbourne, this is what the presidential limousine copped (paint). Also worth reading: www.theage.com.au/national/vic...

An American Secret Service agent (left) named Rufous Youngblood (Google it) immediately after paint was thrown at LBJ's limo during a visit to Melbourne in 1966. The protest was about the escalating Vietnam War. Naturally that photo went around the world.

He was pretty good at photo opportunities - I believe the ladies are his daughters-in-law. This beats anything attempted by Scott Morrison...

Also, it's a small token of my support for Canada, but there's not much else I can find in Australian supermarkets (I don't drink, so sorry, no alcohol for me).

I don't think a 'Golden Gaytime' would pass muster either. Originating in Australia in 1959 before the word 'gay' became associated with homosexuality, the ice cream has survived several attempts to change its name. It's an Australian icon, hands off!

Added bonus if Denmark buys the US: the US gets the (real) King and Queen that it has wanted for so long. Note that The King and Queen of Denmark do not 'rule' like dictators. They are subordinate to the Danish Parliament, just as King Charles of the UK is.

Has anyone noticed the common factor linking Don Trump's ladies? They all have two 'a's in their names: Ivana, Marla, Ivanka (daughter, but he'd be dating her if he could 😳), and Melania. His latest lawyer's name is Alina. Should Alina be worried? Run, Alina, run...🤣
