Pony!
Posted by Greg under: Comics; Writing .
Ah, Kate Beaton has brought back the pony. This cheers me immensely.
I’m currently reading Cassandra Pybus’s book on the Orr affair. With the right artist, I’d love to write a graphic novel on this whole thing. It would not be very sympathetic to Orr, but that’s rather inevitable if you actually consider the facts of the case (rather than the rubbish that went around at the time).
One Comment so far...

I had never heard of Orr until now. What do they teach us at school? English bloody history, but then… where would they teach you about this? Modern Australian History? God knows (if he exists). Who would know in Australia if they were teaching you the truth about our history anyway. It took them almost this long to admit honestly what has happened to the Aboriginal people, what next?
(deep thinking for 8am in the morning… dear me!)
That pony looks like he has been gorging himself silly!
