This anthology chronicles the absurdities of political life through incisive, razor-sharp illustrations that skewer politicians and public figures with equal measures of irreverence and insight, capturing the mood of an era with disarming humour.\n\nPickering's signature style — bold, expressive linework paired with cutting social commentary — cemented his reputation as one of the great political cartoonists of the Southern Hemisphere. Much like the small cartoon on the cover, where a child innocently dismantles the pretensions of a politician's offspring, The Pick of Pickering consistently punctures pomposity with a single well-aimed pen stroke. This collection is essential reading for anyone who appreciates the art of political satire at its most fearless, and will leave the reader wondering just how much — or how little — politics has truly changed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49210233422043,"sku":"2026200013141-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/bd09c488-3336-4590-8c4f-a6a83b57a867.png?v=1788267691","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013141-secondhand-the-pick-of-pickering","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
