Bruce Leslie Petty (23 November 1929 – 6 April 2023) was an Australian political satirist, sculptor [1] and cartoonist.[2] He was a regular contributor to Melbourne's The Age newspaper.
Petty was born on 23 November 1929,[3] at Doncaster, a suburb of Melbourne.
His intricate images have been described as "doodle-bombs" for their free-association of links between various ideas, people and institutions. Age journalist Martin Flanagan wrote that Petty "re-invented the world as a vast scribbly machine with interlocking cogs and levers that connected people in wholly logical but unlikely ways."[2]
