A cartoonist talks to God.

In 1989, cartoonist Michael Leunig began an experiment. Asked to produce a weekly cartoon for Sunday Age, Australia, he remembers wondering 'if newspapers might carry some small spiritual message of consolation as a tiny reparation for the enormous anxiety and distress they can create?' Since then, the two collections, A Common Prayer and The Prayer Tree, have brought his unique humour and intriguing drawings to a wide public across the world.
