Cartoons are the only thing in this paper worth reading anymore. Rest of it's just Labour Party press releases. Rod gets it right every time. Bloody legends.

Some of these are pretty funny, but the one about the cost of living just made me depressed. Too real 😂

River Cole2026-06-30T20:43:14.000Z

if you're not laughing you're crying. Rod helps with the crying.

Rod's been phoning it in lately. Same jokes, different week. Miss when he actually took the piss out of both sides.

Ben Sullivan2026-06-30T21:02:14.000Z

man he's still got it. The one about the supermarket prices had me dead.

I mean yeah but he's always been a bit soft on National. Gotta call out both.

As a tradie I appreciate the one about council consents. Farking useless. Been waiting 8 weeks for a simple deck.

luck building anything in this country. Council will find a way to charge u extra.

Can't believe they let him draw pictures of the PM like that. Unhinged. Yet my lecturer says cartoons are 'low art'... ok

Isla Cooper2026-06-30T21:33:14.000Z

it what you want, still more art than half the stuff in the city gallery.

Morgan Lee2026-06-30T21:11:14.000Z

That one with the guy staring at his phone while missing the view is literally me on the ferry. Oof.

Morgan Lee2026-06-30T21:36:14.000Z

nah we're all fkd anyway. Might as well laugh.

River Cole2026-06-30T21:21:14.000Z

Lol the media one is spot on. Trust no one. Not even the cartoonist.

Ben Sullivan2026-06-30T22:14:14.000Z

enjoy the damn cartoons, some of you need to get off the internet.

Course the usual suspects are in here whingeing. Rod's a national treasure. Go draw your own stick figures then.
