At the intersection of razor-sharp wit and political audacity sits The Best of Pickering, a definitive anthology of cartoons from Larry Pickering — Australia's most celebrated and fearless political cartoonist of the 20th century. The collection presents a curated selection of Pickering's most iconic works, skewering politicians, public figures, and national institutions with a pen that was as precise as it was provocative, capturing the mood and madness of Australian political life with unforgettable irreverence. Pickering's artistry transcends mere caricature; his bold linework and unapologetically satirical eye chronicle the absurdities of power with a distinctly Australian voice, making him a cultural institution in his own right. This anthology stands as a landmark document of political cartooning in Australia, illustrating how humour can serve as both a mirror and a weapon against the establishment. For admirers of sharp satire and lovers of Australian history, this collection poses an irresistible question: how much has really changed?
