Editing David Low (cartoonist) (section)

===Early career===
Low began his career as a professional cartoonist with the ''Canterbury Times'' in 1910. In 1911 he moved to Sydney, Australia to join ''[[The Bulletin (Australian periodical)|The Bulletin]]''. 
A large format collection of some 350 pieces for those papers was published in the album ''Caricatures by Low 1915''.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article238770960 |title=A Book of Caricatures |newspaper=The Daily Telegraph|location=Sydney |issue=11,403 |date=27 November 1915 |accessdate=31 December 2021 |page=6 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref>
During his employment at ''The Bulletin'', Low became well known for a 1916 cartoon satirising [[Billy Hughes]], then the [[Prime Minister of Australia]], entitled ''The Imperial Conference''. After that success, Low published many cartoons depicting Hughes' forceful and eccentric personality. Hughes was not impressed and apparently called Low a "bastard" to his face.<ref>{{cite web|title=Air raid, Sir!

In 1919 Cadbury offered Low a job with the ''Star'', which Low promptly accepted.
