As regular cartoonist for the Sunday Star Times and the Press, she has been delighting readers with her witty observations, drawing talent and insightful social and political commentary. Covering topics that others do not, Murdoch's highly developed graphic skills combine with her social conscience and perceptive political analysis to produce hard-hitting, nuanced and often hilarious insights. In Murdoch, a written commentary by art historian Melinda Johnston sets the cartoons within their historical context. The introductory essay locates the works within New Zealand's cartooning history and argues that they stand as part of a lifetime given to activist design and advocacy. Featuring over 150 full-page cartoons highlighting the breadth and depth of this wonderful new talent, Murdoch will delight, entertain and educate readers with an interest in New Zealand's recent social and political history.
