Oslo Davis, Melbourne’s beloved cartoonist, presents a brilliantly entertaining and full-colour collection that captures the essence of Australia’s hipster capital through his unique lens. Despite Oslo’s confessed ineptitude with trams and coffee orders, his relationship with Melbourne is as complex as it is enduring. 

This clever and occasionally snarky compilation draws from Oslo’s years of keen observations of daily life in Melbourne. It serves not only as a witty commentary but also as a poignant celebration of a city that has weathered numerous lockdowns yet continues to thrive. Oslo’s Melbourne showcases the best of his cartoons and essays from esteemed publications like The Monthly, The Age, and The Guardian, alongside original works crafted specifically for this book.

Oslo’s Melbourne encapsulates the idiosyncrasies and charm that define Melbourne’s spirit. It’s a humorous homage to a place that both frustrates and fascinates, reflecting Oslo Davis’s deep and often comical bond with his urban muse.
