He thus went into adolescence without the advantages and disadvantages of a peer group. His discipline was self- discipline." (2) As a young man he had discovered a pile of old copies of Punch Magazine in a second- hand bookshop in Christchurch. Deeply impressed by the work of Charles Keene, Linley Sambourne and Phil May, Low decided he wanted to become a cartoonist. In his autobiography he wrote: "The more I poured over the intricate technical quality of these artists the more difficult did drawing appear. How impossible that one could ever become an artist! But then I came on Phil May, who combined quality with apparent facility.

Low published anti- gambling cartoons for the War Cry, the newspaper of the Salvation Army, and illustrations for New Zealand Truth, a weekly newspaper specializing in sensational crime and sex . Still a teenager, Low was appointed the regular political cartoonist of the New Zealand Spectator. He drew two full- page political cartoons and four of five small ones weekly. He also contributed two half- page cartoons to a new socialist newspaper, the Weekly Herald. His fame spread to Australia and at the age of eighteen he was asked to join the Sydney Bulletin, where he worked with two other great cartoonists, Livingstone Hopkins and Norman Lindsay. David Low enjoyed his time on the newspaper: "The men behind the Bulletin, notably Jules Francois Archibald, a master journalist, and William Macleod, an artist with solid business ability, had made it a major policy of their paper to encourage native Australian talent.. The Bulletin was radical, rampant and free, with an anti- English bias and a preference for a republican form of government.
No more imported governors nor doggerel national anthems, no more pompous borrowed generals, foreign titles, foreign capitalists, cheap labour, diseased immigrants, if the Bulletin could help it." (7) During the First World War Low became a strong opponent of the Australian prime minister, William Hughes. General William Birdwood managed to persuade Hughes that conscription was necessary. In December, 1. 91. Hughes argued: "We must put forth all our strength. The more Australia sends to the front the less the danger will be to each man. Not only victory, but safety belongs to the big battalions.
Australia turns to you for help. Fifty thousand additional troops are to be raised to form the new units of the expeditionary forces. Sixteen thousand men are required each month for reinforcements at the front. This Australia of ours, the freest and best country on God's earth, calls to her sons for aid. Destiny has given to you a great opportunity. Now is the hour when you can strike a blow on her behalf. If you love your country, if you love freedom, then take your place alongside your fellow- Australians at the front, and help them to achieve a speedy and glorious victory." (8) However, the vast majority of members of the Labor Party were opposed to the measure.
Eventually he was expelled from the party over this issue. Hughes now joined forces with the Commonwealth Liberal Party to form the Nationalist Party of Australia. At the May 1. 91. Hughes and the Nationalists won a huge electoral victory. A second plebiscite on conscription was announced. In July, Low produced a cartoon on the subject but it failed to get past the censor.
David Low, Give us a spell, boys (July 1. In October 1. 91. Hughes was again defeated, this time by a wider margin. Hughes claimed it was a black day for Australia.
It was a triumph for the unworthy, the selfish, and anti- British in our midst. It was a triumph for the insidious propaganda that had been actively at work in every Allied country since the war began.. The defeat was interpreted by those sections amongst us who had led the campaign as proof that Australia was war weary, that their campaign of lies and poisonous propaganda had done its work sufficiently, and not only misled the electors on this one question, but had sapped their loyalty to the Empire."

Low was attacked by the pro- government press for his personal hostility towards the prime- minister. However, Low insisted that "political opposition need not mean personal malice". Norman Lindsay, who worked with Low on the Sydney Bulletin, claimed: "He (Low) was ruthlessly determined to get on and submerged all other interests to that objective". Low's biographer has defended the cartoonist's behaviour: "The ruthlessness - or singlemindedness, as friends might have chosen to call it - was not directed against others: Low did not try to displace his colleagues. How To Watch The Full Play-Doh Cartoon. Nevertheless, he seemed rather obviously on the make.
His drive must have rested largely on enormous self- confidence.. With self- confidence too came resourcefulness, individuality and practical curiously." (1. David Low moves to Britain Low sent some of his cartoons to the Manchester Guardian. They could not afford their own cartoonist but did publish the occasional drawing from Low. The British writer Arnold Bennett was impressed with one of these cartoons that appeared in the newspaper on 2.

He wrote in The New Statesman that "if the Press- lords of this country had any genuine imagination they would immediately begin to compete for the services of that cartoonist and get him to London on the next steamer." (1. This article resulted in Low being offered a job in England with The Daily News and the company's evening paper, The Star. Low arrived in England in 1. After threatening to resign, the editor of the newspaper agreed to publish the large, half- page cartoons that he had been doing in Australia. In London Low became a close friend of the other great political cartoonist of the period, Will Dyson of The Daily Herald. Low found the British public had a different attitude towards cartoons than those in Australia: "Australian wit and humour, though following English forms, had had, besides our native tartness, a touch of American smartness.
The English, by all the evidence, had much more appreciation of humour than of wit. Wit was rather the diversion of the intellectuals, narrowed to more or less obscure or esoteric references and associations. In 1. 92. 0 there was no radio and Hollywood was young; and the British masses still had not only music, songs, plays, pictures but especially their own local jokes, farce and broad comedy, none of it as yet overlaid by streamlined American imports." (1. David Low on the David Lloyd George Coalition (1. When he arrived in Britain, David Lloyd George, was prime minister of a coalition government.
Although a member of the Liberal Party, Lloyd George relied on the support of the Conservative Party. To represent the coalition, Low invented a two- headed ass. During the 1. 91. General Election campaign, Lloyd George promised comprehensive reforms to deal with education, housing, health and transport.
However, he was now a prisoner of the Conservatives, who had no desire to introduce these reforms. Low attacked Lloyd George for betraying his radical past. In one cartoon, Reflections, he refered to a speech he had made on 3. July 1. 90. 9 at Limehouse in the East End of London, where "he had bitterly attacked dukes, landlords, capitalists - the whole of the upper classes".
