Cartoons from out of Leftfield, and on the web
More than 2000 people have already visited a new web site which features political cartoons by Arun Pradhan. The cartoons include the fortnightly feature in 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ Weekly, "From out of Leftfield", which tackles Australian politics and current affairs.
Subjects to come into the firing line include anti-asylum seeker hype (keep an eye out for the movie spoof, "attack of the killer boat people") right through to the GST.
Other 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ of the site showcase past strips such as Rebel Sheep (previously a feature of the Resistance magazine) and the not quite so political, everchanging moods of Gilbert the Duck. The "other bits" section contains more generic cartoons, and finally a quotes section has a range of inspirational, humorous and political quotes from Che Guevara to Woody Allen.
Although drawn primarily for 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ Weekly, the cartoons are available for reproduction for non-profit use and, thanks to the web site, have already attracted interest from a union journal in London right through to an anti-racist network in Canada.
