Trivia
In November 2018, Leunig's 30-year association with the Melbourne Comedy Festival came to an end, after artists expressed concerns about being associated with Leunig's anti-vaccination views, and opposition to the marriage equality plebiscite. Leunig had designed the logo for the festival every year since 1988.

Quotes
I have parted ways with The Age philosophically (and) culturally. I don't read it really, I just scan it. It's a sad story because I began there when it was a substantial newspaper. It's almost embarrassing now to say that I worked for The Age. It's become like a tacky tabloid.
