I think the dots are meant to be punctuation here, so I think 'Amplissarum Contra Murum' is supposed to be something like '(forcing the) most against the wall'. (Seeing 'Rex' in an Imperial inscription is bugging me inordinately...) Edit: Rowson posted his translation on Twitter apparently. quote:Emperor Caesar IDS, King of Slaves, Victor over Idleness, Destroyer of Dependency, Lord of Work, Pisser of Vast Treasure Up Against The Wall, Divine Sanctioner and Universal Fool.

Pilchenstein posted:I really like this. Not sure it's worth a His facial expression is golden. Flip it around so it's looking at the posts and it'd make a great av. Latest Popes with translations in parentheses:  Treasurer (Chancellor) Joe "Shrek" Hockey is still attempting to sell the unpopular GP co-payment (forcing people to pay up-front for Australia's version of the NHS). Note location of speech bubbles.  After a month which was obscenely gaffe-prone and unpopular by even his standards, Abbott attempted a PR 'reset' and announced that "good government is starting today" a week or two ago. Nobody's really been able to tell the difference.  In response to his character attacks on the head of the Australian Human Rights Commission, who dared to say that locking innocent children in concentration camps is maybe not something a responsible government should be doing, and his ridiculous lack of understanding of the data retention scheme he's trying to sell, Attorney-General George Brandis was censured by the Senate (like the House of Lords, but elected by state-based PR, so generally a bit less conservative and a lot less predictable than the House of Representatives/Commons). What that achieves in practical terms is not much but it's nice anyway. Latest Kudelkas:  Safe food and country-of-origin labeling has become a big deal in the last week since some imported frozen berries were found to contain, erm, poison.  It's been almost two decades since a leadership contender - either in an election or within a party - had a main selling point other than "not the other guy".  Despite attempting to legislate mandatory data retention, it was recently revealed that a number of politicians, staffers and political operators - the most high-profile of whom was Communications Minister and open covet-er of Liberal Party leadership Malcolm Turnbull - were communicating using a snapchat-like app which, erm, doesn't retain data. Latest First Dogs:     , Bill Shorten is just as incompetent and centre-right and even more forgettable as the leader of an opposition Labo(u)r party as Ed Miliband so many loving words (this comic sums up pretty well why First Dog is so loathed in a lot of auspol circles)

Well, "You fucks have no attention span thanks to the internet (this argument is kinda ironic really)" kinda made me laugh, but that was after I mentally filed these comics under "Essay peppered with irrelevant illustrations" and lowered my expectations considerably. I get that this scratchy, badly defined mess is his style, that's actively what he's trying to do, and even if he's heard of the word "concise" it's not something he's ever been interested in trying. I don't expect much more than that from it. Still, that doesn't somehow make First Dog On The Moon into a good cartoon. You've got two wall-eyed misshapen tins of cat food having a one-sided argument about how poo poo Australia's immigration policies are, that was never really going to be a good cartoon.

Dog on the Moon is like being stuck at a party with somebody who keeps delivering a drat lecture. Maybe try some Moir. This guy has been cartooning for seemingly 100 years. Celebrating the return of Australian troops to Iraq.   This is the Australian Prime Minister that seems to have the Midas touch - to turn everything into complete poo poo. Over the years Moir has made him into a psychotic Popeye that just yells YAM WOT I YAM over and over and smashes things. He has a NO WOMEN tattoo that celebrates his self appointment as Minister for (punching) Women. Those little red pants are his 'budgie smugglers'.  This is his main threat, the Minister for Communications, who has profoundly deep respect for his own brilliance that never seems to add up to winning anything. Sometimes drawn festooned in dead cats.  Barely concealed portrait of Australian Billionaire Idiot Clive Palmer, who got bored with making a replica Titanic and instead founded a barely coherent vanity political party.  An oldie but a goodie - the two parties compete for who can keep the most wogs out this blessed island nation.

The joke is clearly "feckless son takes on entirely unreasonable work order while dad makes a face". If Steve Bell had drawn it and all the characters were penguins, people would be saying it was brilliant. There are a lot of legitimate reasons to not like Mac without assuming that everything is a direct attack on the poor.
