Because I’m Australia’s youngest and best political journalist I thought it’s…

Posted on July 27, 2015October 16, 2021 by David

2021 NOTE: Originally published at Daily Review, July 27, 2015. Years before Rick Beato started explaining ‘What Makes This Song Great’, my little brother Tristian consulted some music experts to try to explain why just one tiny bit of one song by Hall & Oates was great.

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.
