This man (Joe Hockey) - a so so likeness, gimme a break I'm rusty - is the current Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, when he was appointed our Prime Minister described him as a "big bear of a man" . The Prime Minister didn't mince words by adding "Joe's a good media performer, Joe's an avuncular sort of bloke …". Uncle Avuncular he has become but for mine he's become Mug Punter #4.

Since he's been Minister in this portfolio he's been a busy beaver, forever having to explain why WorkChoices is the greatest policy since sliced bread and absolutely vital to Australia's economic and indeed everyone's wellbeing. All this open selling is important as we are only weeks away from a general election here in Australia. Whatever he's selling the polls say people aren't buying it.

Perhaps some people just don't like sliced bread, or, they don't see him as Uncle Joe but instead see him as "Crazy" Joe [Davola].

This illustration makes me smile. He reminds me of John Candy. He has a happy face

I suppose if it was John Candy, then he’d be Uncle Buck! Best he smiles now, for he might not be happy soon.

Great pencil rendering! He does look a bit like John Candy, great man that he was.

Glad you’re pencilling again. We have a possible general election brewing in the UK *sigh*
