His work appears in 'The Age' and 'The Sydney Morning Herald'. He also writes verse and often uses this as an element in his cartoons. Both his cartoons and non-illustrated poems poke fun at human folly and pretentiousness, deplore the idiocy of war and revel in the redeeming power of love. Also interspersed throughout the poems, read by Geoffrey Rush, are short excerpts from a Leunig interview where he discusses his verse and what attracted him to poetry." -- Back of case ER -
