Screen shot of my profile page on Mastodon. Looks like Twitter, works sort of like Twitter too.

I got on Mastodon

Posted on November 12, 2022 by David

If you don’t know what Mastodon is, you must not be on Twitter! I’ve been on Twitter since maybe 2009. My first tweets were dictatweets, where I just linked to a recording of myself talking into a tape dictaphone. People are fleeing Twitter currently because Elon Musk bought it. This seems weird to me because…

Six Ways To Relax And Put A Terrible 2016 In The Rear-View

Posted on December 6, 2016December 5, 2016 by David

We’ve had a rough year, no doubt. We’ve lost so many of our cultural touchstones — David Bowie, Prince, Leonard Cohen. There’ve been earthquakes. Fires. And politics? Well, let’s not even go there. Let’s just not. We’re all in need of some time out and some self-care. Is work getting you down? Maybe you’re thinking…

The grandfathered list

Posted on December 1, 2015 by David

A secret list protects 1500 Australian companies from having to disclose any tax information to regulators. If you own a company on this list, you get complete tax secrecy. I read Heath Aston in the SMH on this last week; he says as a result, there’s an underground economy in buying and selling these valuable…

Dugong idiots

Posted on August 15, 2014August 26, 2014 by David

I wrote an e-mail to my local MP because I read this and I like dugongs. I’m not sure if native hunting of them is the prime cause of their endangered status, but I would like some action and to learn more. I adapted Animals Australia’s campaign e-mail text and altered it to suit me….

Chris Kenny’s letter to the tax office*

Posted on June 11, 2014July 25, 2014 by David

The guys from The Chaser put up a photoshop of some guy called Chris Kenny fucking a dog and he sued them and settled for $35,000.   * It’s not really Chris Kenny’s letter to the tax office.** ** I’m not telling you this, I’m telling the judge in my future defamation trial, Kenny v….

David Blumenstein

I’m a service designer, cartoonist and co-founder of Squishface Studio. I’ve done comics for The Guardian, Crikey and Australian MAD. Currently also deputy president of the Australian Cartoonists Association.

I usually write about things that shit me off, from bad bosses (The Bret Braddock Adventures) to pick-up artists (#takedown) to white supremacist trolls (The Internet’s Most Trolled Cartoonist) to predatory cults (Why Los Angeles is Scientology’s perfect city) and nasty tech bros (Octane Render: Cartoonists talk about A.I. art).

I’m working on graphic novels called Sciensatics (about cultists) and Free Money, Please (about wealth and passive income).

I regularly collaborate with my wife, Sarah Howell.
