Legendary Australian cartoonist Michael Leunig has died, age 79.
Leunig’s storied career started with the Melbourne Age in 1969, where he worked as a political cartoonist, and closed out in September, after he was dumped by The Age in what the artist dubbed “a throat-cutting exercise”.
Leunig’s passing was announced by his studio on Thursday evening.
