Michael Leunig. 15 February, 2006.
Date: 2006
From: Webb, Murray, 1947- :Digital caricatures
Reference: DCDL-0000822
Description: Caricature of Australian cartoonist, Michael Leunig, who is shown holding two cartoons depicting Auschwitz in 1942 and Israel in 2002. There are interesting parallels. The reference is to a hoax whereby a 26 year old free-lance Australian journalist called Richard Cooke, submitted the 2002 Leunig cartoon to a newspaper contest launched by an Iranian newspaper, in February 2006, after a Danish newspaper published caricatures of the prophet Muhammad, angering Muslims around the world. Cooke has apologised to Leunig. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
