Morning everyone, I took a couple of months off over Christmas as I have not been particularly well and have been waiting on seeing the results of my next scan, which if not good would be not good at all. Having given it a lot of thought, I’ve decided that even if the result is good, eventually, one

And thankyou for all you did to draw what we were thinking, but clearer.
A noggin less filled with 💩 politics and instead filled with Tassie devils and birdies and such like is a likely to be a much happier🧠
Art on!
You could only have done better if you were a billionaire donor.
I wish you happy times.
Well done for making it and look forward to seeing any/all the art you share.
I hope your options are favourable and your stresses small.
you've brought a lot of joy and laughter to a lot of peeps - me included, and hopefully some thought and reflection to some subjects of your toons
thanks Jon
some favs
At the same time… go you!
Seize and squeeze all the bits of joy and satisfaction that’re out there to be seized and squeezed.
Also…you have helped. A lot. As a connector, enlightener, smile inducer… ❤️ thank you.
And it continues
Thank you for all the smiles, laughter and thought provoking work Jon.
Go look after yourself 🤗
But here’s hoping and wishing for many more naps and much more art.
All the very best Jon
miss your razor sharp insights.
Fortunately I was in Hobart a few weeks ago and now have my very own weedy sea dragon. Time spent doing more of that would be time very well spent indeed.
I’ll miss you.
I wish you the meaningful joy you crave of every moment 🩷
Take great care of your health.
❤️
Your work will be missed though.
You most definitely have had an effect politically - certainly helped me keep sane (okay, half-sane) and I know I’m by no means alone there. Do what you love. 👍
( I’ll so miss your perfectly succinct rageful quips - esp the sweary ones).
None of us get out of here alive. I wish you love and peace and sending positive thoughts your way ❤️
You haven't single-handedly saved the world, but you have single-handedly delighted a great many of us in dark times, and skewered more than enough grubs. Please do the things you love, we love them too. ❤️
Enjoy your rest, and your art (please do share it with us!), and know you are deeply loved. :)
Nothing is more important than your health, and those needs must always be your highest priority.
Take care
Enjoy your retirement, you deserve every sweet sip ❤️
But also not RIP. And you're still a real one. You have plenty of value in this world beyond the red-on-green-on-blue doodles, in many ways. Take care of yourself, Jon.
We will always have the Rusted On Bingo card.
If your life is a brief spark between 2 eternities it is important to wrap yourself in the moments you've got and savour them.
Enjoy your retirement.
We will keep up the fight for truth telling and a fairer and safer world.
Stay well and thanks.
I also hope you realise and remember there are a lot of people you may not have met who also love and respect you.
The satire is writing itself these days anyway...
Wishing you the very best of luck.
Take care of yourself.
Wishing you all the best with health and looking to your own happiness.
Will miss your cartoons but low key hoping we’ll see more of your printmaking 🤞🏾
P.S. doing what makes you happy is GOOD
The teatowel will carry us through.
Wishing you all the luck mate.
👋👋
Much love.
Fuck Cancer. Sideways. With a pineapple.
Yes, go and do what you want, be awesome, even if it's only for a while. Enjoy, rest, I can't think what else to say. Except that thank you for all you did.
Thank you. We love your art xxx
Thank you.
Much love, and wishing you and yours every good thing xx
Also sent what must've been close to the last infamous tea towel as a replacement to the one that great flood of Lismore took away somewhere before it got to me
The same ills touched my family before too
All the best mate
Thank you for so many amazing cartoons that wittily jabbed those who clearly deserve it.
Live well end enjoy yourself for as long as possible.
Other talented folk will take up the baton. There is still plenty of fresh material available and with the rise again of the orange 🍊 hairpiece, there will be plenty of idiotic things to discuss.

I called into your Salamanca shop while in Tas last week and got supplies for my present box. (A good way to express gratitude people... fabulous merch)
Sending a little back to you in my thoughts, may miracles be around every corner
Well done, well done.
Do what you love, and I hope it brings joy & happiness to your family.
Every time I look at your art, I smile
🙏 ❤️❤️
Wishing your fair winds and clear skies mate 🩵
Hoping you will keep sharing your glorious work with us here.
Thank you for skewering the pollies & their ludicrous hypocrisies.
🤩😘👏
hope you find something good in the near future.
go well Jon.
Love & light
Take care good sir.
Together with everyone here, wishing and hoping for many more years of beautiful art. All the very best
Cheers, Jon. 👍

Have been there & now find that time much more enriching. Time is precious it's for you. 🪷🪷🫂🫂
The stroll resonated given I got sunburnt in one awkward spot on my back & bought a beanie at the Salamanca Market as the wind picked up around
10 am.
Make as many of your remaining days as happy as you can. It's all any of us can do.
All the best.
All power to the arvo nap x
Very best wishes from 🏴
Enough of that.
I will miss your cartoons but you need to
🎼 Do what you wanna do,
🎼 Be who you wanna be, yeah.
Love to you and your family.
Maxi xxx 💖💖💖
Can’t wait to visit your shop in a couple of months when I’m being a tourist yeah I know terrible awful place don’t come here you warned.
❤️❤️❤️
Do hope you’ll still feel up to entertaining us with your humour on this app 🙏
Thoughts and ... whatever us athiests pull out of the useful box.
Cheers Jon, here's to many more vintages.
(Your "Tasmania, Never Come Here" t-shirt is one of my daughter's prize possessions. I got it as a gift when I was in Hobart last year, and stopped in your gallery. Stay well, sir.)
Take care enjoy the shit out of life!
Thank you for your words of wisdom and fabulous art.
Jon who?
Oh yeah, that Jon.
Enjoy the retirement.
Giving unfetted power to the dawg🤯👀
I'll just join them with a ❤️
You’re very bloody loved by so many across this country 💛
Fuck cancer, I hate it! But I won’t ever run from offering you any help I can provide.
But for my own selfish reasons I hope that this means more Wombat inspired art to purchase 😊
Your cartoons have made me think, laugh & sigh over the years - your light on the Hill cartoon is still relevant today as when you drew it.
Shall add ‘Hear, hear!’ to all these terrific sentiments, wish you all the very best and imagine you happy.
Thank-you for stoking so many fires.
Sounds smart to conserve your energy & time for things that bring you joy.
Best wishes.
Thank you for it all.
Enjoy.
I love that you are focusing on your art and naps and this is also something to aspire to.
You are a good human
🫡 💙 👏👏👏
