Set against the chaotic, woolly backdrop of the shearing shed, this volume presents a cast of wonderfully bewildered characters — human and animal alike — navigating the indignities and slapstick disasters of rural life with Leunig's signature blend of warmth, whimsy, and wicked wit.\n\nLeunig has long held a unique position in Australian cultural life as both a cartoonist and a philosophical provocateur, and this work is no exception — it chronicles the peculiarities of the Australian character through a lens that is simultaneously gentle and razor-sharp. His loose, expressive line work and richly comic scenarios speak to a deep affection for the larrikin spirit, even as they gently puncture it. Whether you are a lifelong devotee of his work or a newcomer to his eccentric universe, Ramming the Shears will leave you wondering just who, in the end, is shearing whom.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50620322644187,"sku":"2026200018533-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/d8f5c289-a0c0-466f-8b76-2b2465dc9d34.png?v=1791873258","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200018533-secondhand-ramming-the-shears","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
