Earlier today on another blogsite, I answered a question about what cartoonists do when required to caricature a newly emerging public figure who is attractively good looking with no large nose, ears, or other visible appendages to exaggerate ala Julia Gillard and/or Tony Abbott et.al.
In passing, I mentioned that some 'toonists who cannot immediately depict innate blandness or other lack of unique identifiable features in a person, sometimes employ symbols to lampoon the celebrity until some more tangible aspect of their make-up materializes. Now and again those symbols 'stick' and are adopted by the editorial cartooning community at large.
Today's 'toon is an attempt to illustrate the above point. Hopefully, quickly identifiable by Queenslanders, if not viewers in other Australian states?
