More commonly known throughout Ballarat as 'Ditchy', the veteran cartoonist brings you a different take on what's making news.
You've probably seen his work in our print edition, as well as in our online stories, but we now bring it to you all in one place.
FEATURE TOON
Voting is over and we will soon have new councillors. Who's the big winner? Facebook of course.
A new movement is hoping to inspire Ballarat residents to get gardening on their nature strips.
While Melburnians are now able to travel to their regional Victorian properties to undertake fire and flood preparation works, they are urged to stick to the rules. One council said "Come up, do the work and then go home".
Protesters are demanding a review into the sport of duck shooting in the hope many species of water birds will be saved.
Live music is back allowed in Ballarat pubs after a big backlash.
What a big weekend for footy fans - and Ballarat pubs - with the AFL grand final on Saturday and NRL decider on Sunday. The lead-up was exciting for bar owners getting prepared for pub-starved punters.
And regional Victorians were of course hoping no Melbourne footy fans illegally travelled here for the weekend.
And staying with football, North Ballarat's Roosters branding is returning to the Ballarat Football Netball League for the first time in 25 years.
