A digital drawing of Barabbas Loins, Member for Offalseed and Minister for Mulch. He’s wearing fancy cowboy boots in addition to his usual blue shirt, beige pants and big hat. Why remains a mystery even five years after the fact.  

Procreate on iPad, sometime in early 2020.

Offalseed’s finest - Barabbas Loins. Drawn sometime in early 2020; reposted today apropos of absolutely nothing.

No, I still don’t know why I gave him fancy cowboy boots.

(with apologies to @markhumphries.bsky.social, as always.)

Highly recommend.
Though he’s skipped the bit about the time Skase tried to steal Bargearse’s capricciosa - we don’t like to talk about that time in life.

You have no idea how much editing was required to make it sound coherent. Actually, I reckon you do.

Thoroughly enjoying @markhumphries.bsky.social ABC’s Skase podcast.
Especially Warwick Capper literally reminiscing about the 80s.

01 | The Confidence Man - ABC listen Christopher Skase wants to be a corporate cowboy. He’s handsome and elegant, with Hermes ties and flowing locks. His wife Pixie is beautiful, in a 1980s kind of way, with bouffant blonde hair and more diamonds than a high street jeweller. Together they take on the Melbourne business establishment and start building the Qintex empire.

We we're long overdue for a Skase overview. Any chance for an Alan Bond and a John Friedrich overview to complete the trifecta of Australian conmen @markhumphries.bsky.social? https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/abc-rewind/abc-rewind-skase-fall-tycoon/105744504

Aaaaaand it’s here! Ep 1 of the series our team’s been working on for months - Skase: Fall of a tycoon. You’d’ve been living under a rock if you didn’t know who Pixie and Christopher were in the 1980s. They had it all - fame, money, glitz. Until they didn’t. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

I have to give Binge credit for the great @mitchmctaggart.bsky.social and @markhumphries.bsky.social shows, but they appear to be making up for the loss of the HBO content with a record number of Hitler, Mussolini and shark docos.

"When did the Australian dream go from owning your own home to owning somebody else’s?"

The question speaks volumes, not least of the moral corruption of our politicians, with many of them given over so deeply to this notion of prosperity, when the price is insecurity for others.
