Date: 2013
From: Doyle, Martin Maurice Michael Thomas, 1956- :Digital cartoons
By: Scoop (Firm)
Reference: DCDL-0023984
Description: Commentary from the artist: 'I know this was a heavyweight boxing match but just how heavy is healthy for a boxer? Botha isn't just older than Moses, he's also obese.' Under the title 'Botha uses a banned substance!' the cartoonist accuses the overweight and superannuated boxer, Francois Botha, of 'dosing himself ' with whale blubber in his bout with the former rugby union and league player, Sonny Bill Williams, on 8 February 2013. The mismatch was obvious. Also refers to Botha being found after the bout to have used two banned substances. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
Doyle, Martin, 1956- :DOPING SCANDAL REACHES NEW ZILD. 17 October 2012

Reference: DCDL-0023164
Description: Shows Prime Minister John Key and ACT leader John Banks drinking tea. Both are having trouble with their memories. Cartoon accompanied by a lot of text on the subject of Lance Armstrong a the doping scandal and the two politicians and memory problems. Context: Refers to the sensational announcement that Lance Armstrong had been using illegal drugs during his record-breaking cycling career. I use that as a metaphor for the constant 'can't remember' responses given by PM John Key (re the spy agencies and Kim Dotcom) and John Banks [re Kim Dotcom]. Obviously the tea cups refers to the infamous 'teapot tapes' farce palyed out before the Election. (Context notes by cartoonist) Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
