Compiled by Michael Sharkey, it chronicles the irreverent, larrikin spirit that has long defined Australian wit, gathering contributions from some of the nation's most celebrated humorists, cartoonists, and satirists. The collection illustrates how Australian comedy has evolved from the bush yarns and newspaper sketches of the colonial era through to the sharp, self-deprecating humour of the modern age. Sharkey's curation strikes a tone that is both warmly nostalgic and gleefully subversive, offering readers a genuine sense of the national character as expressed through laughter. This treasury stands as an essential and joyful record of a comedic tradition that is distinctly, unmistakably Australian.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887835558107,"sku":"2026770000218-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/fcdecb59-9030-44f4-b2ba-a515a531fd5f.png?v=1781746923","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770000218-secondhand-the-illustrated-treasury-of-australian-humour-signed","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
