I’ve only just learned of the existence of Australian political cartoonist Jon Kudelka, & the thing that’s brought him to my attention is the news of his death. So it goes. But I have quickly formed the opinion that he was many flavours of Good & that the world is a poorer place now for his absence.
Very sad news about Jon Kudelka.
He wrote this last year about what really matters.
