'There was once a man who could no longer believe things that were said. All he could trust was sighing, sobbing, swearing, screaming and singing. If you asked him why he no longer believed, he would sigh... He would sob... He would scream and swear. And then he would start to sing like a bird.'Michael Leunig has been drawing and writing for Australian newspapers since 1965.
