War Horse

This week's Spectator Australia cover depicts Abbott riding Bishop! Or is it Bishop carrying Abbott? Whichever way, this holy union made for a fun illustration, under the art direction of Associate Editor Rowan Dean. (It also ties in with a review of Spielberg's War Horse movie.)

Unfortunately breaking news of the Thomson arrest happened well after deadline so we couldn't jump on that. But hopefully this striking cover will sell mags at the newsstands. Below are the sketch and inks...
