Contemplating Ducks

Just heard that Michael Leunig died yesterday.
I thought I’d have a look through some of his books that I have.

I didn’t realise I had so many!
While I might have disagreed with some of his more recent thoughts, I have always loved the gentle whimsy of ducks and teapots, as well as some of his social comments.
The above books are ones I have collected over at least three decades.
I shall make a cup of tea tomorrow, and refresh my memories…

Appreciating Mr Curly

I’ve just finished reading a Michael Leunig book (“Musings from the Inner Duck”), a collection of recent cartoons.
Mr Curly is a recurring character; a gentle, wise, quiet person who lives in Curly Flat. I’ve always loved Mr Curly. 🙂

Here’s some snapshots from his life…

Sorry about the image quality – click on the image if you want to see it bigger. 🙂

…and, just because I’ve been hearing about the dangers of excessive technology…

(Not Mr Curly. Still cool.)
