Dragonflight (thing)

2002-12-18T08:13:12Z

Dragonflight was the name of some amazingly successful doofs that were run late last century (1996-1999) in Brisbane

The first, and most amazing, was in a Valley about 1 hour north of Brisbane, all night us doofers were treated to an amazing lightning lightshow provided by mother nature (it didnt rain, though).

of course there was also a fantastic lightshow set up by tha masters of outdoor lighting in Briz, the Travelling Candle Kaleidoskope Bonanza

There were some great things about these events that made them special.

Firstly, I was surprised to see how nicely everyone cleaned up the place in the morning. This was always the case at these events, there was always a heartfelt care for the environment. (or that's what my addled brain thought at the time)

Later events were bravely held at Dayborough - and for those that put them on, thanks.

There were other doofs in and around BrisVegas, and there still are, but these had that…

Mary Leunig is the sister to Michael Leunig, and like his sister, also has had some comics published. Mary's comics are a lot darker than Michaels, with subjects often concerning equality, feminism, motherhood and racism. Both Michael and Mary have a fantastic quirky worldview. Mary lives in Melbourne Australia.

Books by Mary Leunig:

Black and White and Grey

One big happy family

There's No Place Like Home

women (idea)

I saw a great comic by Michael Leunig.

It was a parade of placarded women marching.

the first cell had a woman with the placard:

All Men are Bastards

the second had a woman with:

We Will Fight for equality until

and the third ....

All women are bastards too!

I hope that it never happens ( not the equality bit but the bastards bit)

Incidentally, Michael Leunig has a relation (sister I think) who also writes comics.
