Bag the Fag – 1986 Queensland Anti Smoking Campaign

Nick Cave’s ‘Red Right Hand’ as a Dr. Seuss inspired book

Its hard to know where to start with this.  The song has always been evocative as it is but now Melbourne artist DrFaustusAU has taken it to the next level with his Dr. Seuss adaptation.

P.s I would have no problem reading this to children.  Is this why I don’t have them?
