Cartoons
Political satire, footy fury, musical mayhem and the rest — six categories of sardonic Australian cartooning.
A Note from Tragic Puddin'
O, Who would be a Puddin'
A Puddin' to direct you,
To Cartoons, will I not?
O use the Menus up above,
That's yer plurry lot!
[Apologies to Norm]
Tragic Puddin' is The Full Quid's homage to Norman Lindsay's beloved Magic Puddin' — repurposed as the sardonic mascot of this site. Like the original, he's grumpy, opinionated, and refuses to be eaten quietly.
“Not the full quid since 2013”
Explore the Categories
Footy
AFL cartoon commentary from 2013 to the present. Every club cops it sooner or later. The highs, the lows, and the perpetually baffling.
Recycled
Cartoons and pix rescued from the vaults and given a second life. Originally drawn for newspapers, zines and other long-forgotten contexts.
Polliedom
Australian and international political cartoons from 2013 to the present. All the ridiculous leaders, Gaza, climate denial, the culture wars — the parade of the nowhere-near-the-full-quid continues unabated.
Musictoons
Music-themed cartoons from a keen listener. Rock, blues, punk — from Jimi Hendrix to Les Paul and beyond. No genre left unscathed, no icon spared.
Others
Two series sharing one drawer. 'Lips & Arseholes' — a saveloy-powered dissection of art, history and popular music. Plus 'Miscellaneous' - social commentary, absurdist vignettes and pure silliness across the decades.
Pro
Professionally published cartoon work by some of Australia's greats. Plus a few from elsewhere.
