Bill Leak Suffers Serious Head Injury; In Intensive Care Following Surgery



Thirteen-time Archibald Prize and two-time Malki winner Bill Leak is said to be improving after brain surgery made necessary by a fall on Friday night during which he suffered serious head injuries. The 52-year-old artist and illustrator is the cartoonist for The Australian, and one of the more popular members of his profession in a nation that seems to deeply value its editorial cartoonists. He was knocked unconscious after falling from a first-floor balcony at a coastal home.
