Description: In a series of five out of six caricatures Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker shows photographs of himself helping people hurt by the 4th September earthquake and helping Christchurch after the earthquake. In the sixth caricature he disingenuously smirks and says that he has been so busy helping Christchurch that he forgot about the Mayoral election; he then affects a philosophical stance about his chances. Refers to the advantage that the earthquake of 4th September has given the incumbent mayor Bob Parker in the local body elections of 9th October. Black and white and colour versions of this cartoon are available Quantity: 2 digital cartoon(s).

Description: An arm wearing the ermine-edged gown of a mayor holds a child's fishing rod to which is attached a small object Text reads 'The Mayorest offer. and lead us not into TIMtation'. A second version has nothing on the end of the string. A third version has the words reading 'but lead us not Into TIMtation' and the fourth version lacks the words 'The Mayorest offer'. This probably refers to mayoral candidate Suzanne Prentice's keeping of a recorded message that Tim Shadbolt left on her phone, offering her the Invercargill deputy mayoralty if she didn't stand against him. The leaking of the message to the press was not made by Ms Prentice nor did she sanction it. There are wordplays on 'mayorest' (mayor) and 'mearest' and 'TIMtation' (Tim Shadbolt) and 'temptation'.

Description: Shows a couple in their car driving along a road festooned with election billboards. The man reads a billboard and comments that the mayor is promising to 'move our district forward' and his partner suggests that with all the new jobs down in Christchurch maybe he should move the district down there. Probably refers to mayoral hopefuls in Whangarei, Pamela Sue Peters or Stan Semenoff, suggesting that people should move to Christchurch for jobs which, since the 4th September 2010 earthquake, are going to be plentiful. But it seems that every mayoral candidate in the country is intent on moving his or her part of New Zealand forward if they win the October 9 local body election. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
