The art of the political cartoon as we know it in Canada today began in the 1870s when <b><a href="http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/john-wilson-bengough/">John W. Bengough</a></b> (1851-1923) started publishing the satirical magazine <i>Grip</i>.<br />
<div>
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
In its pages, Bengough pilloried Canada's first prime minister, John A. Macdonald, and since then each prime minister has had an alterego with a sketchpad:<br />
<div>
<div>
Sir Wifrid Laurier had to contend with <b><a href="http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/octave-henri-julien/">Henri Julien</a></b> (1852-1908), </div>
<div>
Mackenzie King with <b>Arch Dale</b> (1932-1962), </div>
<div>
John Diefenbaker with <b><a href="http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/duncan-ian-macpherson/">Duncan Macpherson</a></b> (1924-1993), </div>
<div>
Pierre Trudeau with <b>Jean-Pierre Girerd</b> (b 1931), </div>
<div>
Brian Mulroney with <b><a href="http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/terry-mosher/">Aislin</a></b> (Terry Mosher, b 1942), </div>
<div>
and Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin with <b>Serge Chapleau</b> (b 1945).<br />
<div>
<br />
<b>Earliest Practitioners</b><br />
<br />
The first celebrated example in Canada was the work of <b><a href="http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/george-townshend-1st-marquess-townshend/">Brigadier-General George Townshend</a></b>, who served with General James Wolfe at Québec in 1759. Townshend drew sketches to undermine his commander's reputation. Wolfe demanded an inquiry after the war, but died on the Plains of Abraham. </div>

Ironically, it was cartoonist Townshend who subsequently signed the capitulation papers. It wasn't until the arrival of <i>Punch</i> in Canada in the 1840s that editorial cartoons began to appear on a regular basis. <i>Punch</i> spawned other homegrown publications such as <i>Grinchuckle</i>, <i>Canadian Illustrated News</i>, and <i>L'Opinion Publique</i>, which carried illustrations that imitated the work of Britain's <b>John Leech</b> (1817-1864), the first cartoonist in the contemporary sense of the word.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Development of a Distinctly Canadian Approach</b><br />
<br />
Working for the first comic journal in Québec, <i>"La Scie"</i> (the Saw), which began in 1863, was cartoonist <b>Jean-Baptiste Côté</b>. He was a legendary Canadian political cartoonist. His simple woodcuts fit perfectly with the journal's motto, <i>"Laughter Corrects Abuse."</i> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He attacked the political elite and the civil service with such ardour that in 1868, after depicting a civil servant <i>"at his day's work,"</i> he was arrested and thrown into jail - the first and only Canadian cartoonist to achieve this distinction. </div>

In 1877 <i>Le Canard</i> was published in Montreal by pioneer cartoonist <b>Hector Berthelot</b>. This publication, like many before it, was supported by editors and publishers who drew the cartoons themselves.</div>
<div>
<br />
<b>Popular Recognition</b><br />
<br />
When Bengough introduced <i>Grip</i> in 1873 he was influenced by the leading US caricaturist, German-born <b>Thomas Nast</b> (1840-1902), famous for his devastating cartoons about the corrupt Boss Tweed and New York's Tammany Ring.<br />
<br />
At the same time that Bengough was with Grip, Québec artist<b> Henri Julien</b> was making his mark drawing political cartoons at the<i> Canadian Illustrated News</i>. One of Julien's studies of rural French Canadians was a depiction of an elderly farmer, rifle in hand and pipe clenched in teeth, ready to defend his land. </div>

This spirit of the rebellion of 1837 was later adapted by the <a href="http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/article/front-de-liberation-du-quebec/">Front de Libération du Québec</a> (FLQ) in the 1960s as a symbol of armed revolution. </div>

<i>The Montreal Star</i> became the first newspaper in Canada to employ an editorial cartoonist when Henri Julien was hired in 1888 to do <i>"news pictures."</i> He was the first cartoonist to be honoured with an exhibition at the National Gallery in Ottawa, and a street in Montréal is named in his honour.<br />
<br />
With the introduction of half-tone photo engraving, the art of caricature generally declined during the first half of the 20th century. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>David Low</b> (1891-1963) revived it at the <i>London Evening Standard</i> during World War II, lampooning Hitler and Churchill. </div>

<div>
At about the same time, the <i>Halifax Chronicle Herald</i> hired<b> Bob Chambers </b>(1905-1996) and <b>John Collins</b> (1917-2007) began working at the <i>Gazette</i> in Montreal. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For many years, however, cartoons in Canadian newspapers were pale imitations of Low's work, or were influenced by the ubiquitous drawings of syndicated US artists Herbert Block ("<b><a href="http://bado-badosblog.blogspot.ca/2013/04/herblock-black-white.html">Herblock</a></b>" 1909-2001) at the <i>Washington Post</i> and<b> Bill Maudlin</b> (1921-2003) at the <i>Chicago Sun Times</i>.<br />
<br />
Two cartoonists of note from the pre-1950s era were <b>Arch Dale</b> of the <i>Winnipeg Free Press</i> and <b>AG Racey</b> who joined the <i>Montreal Star</i> in 1899 and remained there for 40 years. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The character of cartoonists in Canada of this generation was that of well-mannered good sports. Rarely vicious, they supported good causes and did their work in a cheery manner. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A distinctive Canadian style emerged after World War II. Led by <b><a href="http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/robert-lapalme/">Robert Lapalme</a></b> (1908-1997) at<i> Le Devoir</i>, <b><a href="http://bado-badosblog.blogspot.ca/2011/08/royal-canadian-armed-farces.html">Duncan Macpherson</a></b> at the <i>Toronto Star</i>, <b>Leonard Norris</b> (1913-1997) at the <i>Vancouver Sun</i> and the <i>Montreal Star</i>'s <b>Ed McNally</b> (1916-1971), cartoons broke with accepted cliches. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Their drawings were sharper and often more savage than American cartoons, which arguably tend to be more allegorical.</div>
<div>
<br />
<b>Editorial Independence</b><br />
<br />
Canadian cartoonists also began to wield a greater degree of independence than their US counterparts; they divorced themselves from the art department and created a separate editorial entity, autonomous in its own right. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Duncan Macpherson was not afraid to challenge his editors and did so on a number of occasions, threatening to get his way or quit. He came by his distaste for editors honestly, having witnessed the poor treatment of his predecessor at the <i>Toronto Star </i>newspaper, <b>Les Callan</b>, who after twenty-five years was unceremoniously cast aside. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Terry Mosher, cartoonist at the <i>Montreal Gazette</i>, is on record as saying, <i>"Macpherson established a new ground rule for all political cartoonists to follow: never give an editor an even break." </i>Before Macpherson, most cartoonists were a part of the editorial page <i>"team"</i> who decided what would go on the page that day. Macpherson refused to join the team or go to meetings, and pressed to be given the status of independent contributor to the editorial page.<br />
<br />
For many years it was common for an editorial cartoon to contradict the stated editorial position of a Canadian newspaper. However, in the early part of 2000 the position of staff cartoonist came under increasing attack with chain newspapers beginning to cast aside staff positions, employing instead the less expensive freelancers, or using syndicates. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In this way the cartoon could be<i> "cherry picked"</i> to coincide with the paper's position, in what seems to be a return to the bad old days. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With the rise of the Internet, freelance cartoons are now marketed worldwide by such syndicates as <i>Edmonton Journal</i> cartoonist <b>Malcolm Mayes</b>'s Artizans and American cartoonist <b>Daryl Cagle</b>'s Pro-Cartoonists Index. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
These sites are web portals where an editor or business can download fresh political cartoons, gag cartoons, caricatures, graphic art and illustrations by dozens of cartoonists.</div>
<div>
<br />
<b>New Directions</b><br />
<br />
The future of Canadian political cartooning may be seen in a phenomenon from Québec called <i>"Et Dieu créa Laflaque."</i> The series is a 30-minute television show created by Québec's <b>Serge Chapleau</b> and Vox Populi. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It began in 2004 on Radio-Canada in Québec and has made Canadian cartoon history with its combining of political cartoons with computer 3D graphic animation. The show follows the adventures of Gérard D. Laflaque as he interacts with celebrities and Canadian politicians such as Paul Martin and Jean Charest. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A huge hit with its fans in Québec, it won the best comedy award at the 2005 Banff Festival against major competition such as <i>Corner Gas</i> and the British series <i>Curb Your Enthusiasm</i>.</div>
<div>
<br />
<b>Notables</b><br />
<br />
First-rate editorial cartoonists are members of a select club. There are no more than two dozen employed at any one time in Canada. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Among the new breed of distinguished artists are Aislin (Terry Mosher, b 1942) at the <i>Montreal Gazette</i>, Serge Chapleau (b 1945) at <i>La Presse</i>, <b>Dale Cummings</b> (b 1948) at the <i>Winnipeg Free Press</i>, <b>Susan Dewar</b> (b 1949) at the <i>Ottawa Sun</i>, <b>Bado</b> (Guy Badeaux, b 1949) at <i>Le Droit</i>, <b>Brian Gable</b> (b 1949) at the <i>Globe and Mail</i>, <b>John Larter</b> (b 1950) at the <i>Calgary Sun</i>, <b>Bruce MacKinnon</b> (b 1961) at the <i>Halifax Herald</i>, <b>Gary Clement</b> at the <i>National Post,</i><i> </i><b>Malcolm Mayes</b> (b 1960) at the <i>Edmonton Journal</i> as well as freelancers <b>Tim Doligan</b> (b 1963), <b>Ingrid Rice </b>(b 1960) and <b>Mike DeAdder</b> (b 1967).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>(Editor's note: Dale Cummings, Susan Dewar and John Larter are now freelancing at Artizans)</i></div>
<div>
<br />
By 1949, cartoons had become so persuasive that the Canadian National Newspaper Awards decided to honour those that <i>"embody an idea made clearly apparent, good drawing, and striking pictorial effect in the public interest." </i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The first recipient was the <i>Globe and Mail</i>'s <b>Jack Boothe</b> (1910- 1973), at the time the highest paid political cartoonist in the country. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><a href="http://bado-badosblog.blogspot.ca/2013/10/roy-peterson-1936-2013.html">Roy Peterson</a></b> (b 1936) held the record for National Newspaper Awards with seven until Serge Chapleau (2012) and Brian Gable (2017) reached the same number. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Among the winners are some of the country's leading cartoonists, including <b>Merle Tingley</b> (1921-2017), whose trademark, a pipe-smoking worm named Luke, has been around for more than 50 years; <b>Yardley Jones</b> (b 1930); <b>Andy Donato</b> (b 1937); and <b>Vance Rodewalt</b> (b 1946). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The art was further recognized when an International Salon of Caricature and Cartoon organized by Robert LaPalme in Montréal was held for the first time in 1963.<br />

An era of London newspaper publishing came to a close on Sunday with the death of Ting, as he was known by fellow <i>Free Press</i> employees and also readers, was loved for his enthusiasm for local subjects and gentle sense of humour. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;">
Many a fan noted how his cartoons touching on subjects like London transit, city hall politics and Forest City personalities could run in the newspaper today. Simply put, his work was timeless.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;">
<br /><i>“Ting charmed the world with his editorial cartoons and playful spirit,”</i> his family said in a death notice.<br /><br />Ting was inducted into the Canadian Cartoonist Hall of Fame two years ago by <b>Seth</b>, one of the many artists who followed in his footsteps. As a young child, Tingley came to Seth’s Grade 1 class in Strathroy, serving as an example of a real-life creator who was making a living by putting pen to paper.<br /><br /><i>“It left a real impression on me,”</i> Seth told this paper in 2014. <i>“It was a significant event that I never forgot.”</i></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;">
Ting’s blocky caricatures are recognizable <i>“from 50 feet away,”</i> Seth added.<br /><br />Ting included Luke Worm in every piece of work he did. The pipe-smoking, top hat-wearing worm would be hidden away in a corner of the drawing. This meant Ting’s work appealed not only to adults, who could understand the political meaning of any given cartoon, but also to children – finding Luke Worm was a point of pride among his younger readers.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;">Seth said he came to read Ting’s work </span><i style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;">“religiously”</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;"> following that Grade 1 visit. </span><i style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;">“I’m not going to pretend that I was precocious enough in Grade 1 to enjoy cartoons about John Diefenbaker or Robert Stanfield. Nope–it was his little trademark drawing Luke-Worm that impressed me,” </i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;">Seth said in Tingley’s induction speech.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;">Also among his many fans is Diana Tamblyn, the founder of the Ting Comic and Graphic Arts Festival, which runs annually every spring at the Arts Project. It brings together many of the young talents Ting inspired to pick up pen or brush and will mark its fifth anniversary in May 2018.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;" /><i style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;">“There are so few editorial cartoonists left these days, and the ones who are still around cover national and international events,” </i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;">Tamblyn said.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;" /><i style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;">“Ting was first and foremost a regionalist — his work reflected his local environment — London and Southwest Ontario. He loved this Forest City, and that love shone through each one of the lines he put down on paper, whether it was a cartoon about city hall or a map of Storybook Gardens. And London loved him back.”</i><br />

<br />At this year’s Ting Fest, one of the cartoons that caught the eyes of attendees shows a commuter reading a headline from the local paper while stopped at a rail crossing. The message of the cartoon? High-speed rail is in the works, but Londoners may not see any progress for a time. In a preview of a transit debate that would take place in London in 2017, Ting had published that cartoon in 1975.<br /><br /><i>“Ting was a professional cartoonist with all the chops of a real professional,”</i> but chose to exercise his skills in a regional market, Seth said three years ago in an interview with The London Free Press.<br /><br /><i>“There’s a reason why the Ting Comic and Graphic Arts Festival was named after him,” </i>echoed Tamblyn.<div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /><i>“How many artists did his decades of work inspire? It’s countless I’m sure, but when you talk to a fellow cartoonist from the area, it’s not long before Ting comes up in the conversation as an inspiration,”</i> she said.</div>

<br /><span style="font-size: large;">Terry Mosher is still going strong after 47 years of causing mayhem</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Political strife, patronage, potholes: If Benjamin Franklin were still alive — and kicking in Montreal — he would have added them, along with death and taxes, to his shortlist of life’s certainties.<br /><br />Old Ben might have also included another book of Aislin cartoons by Terry Mosher as inevitable as well.<br /><a name='more'></a><br />Mosher’s 47th compendium of cartoons, <i>The Wrecking Ball</i>, has just been released. The man is a machine. Not surprisingly, it is the political strife, patronage and potholes — along with a few other choice ‘P’s: Pauline, PKP, PQ, Porter and Putin — that help fuel the Mosher machine and that bring a much-needed smile to Montrealers trying to weather the aforementioned.<br /><br />So what makes Mosher tick? Certainly not what made him tick in his younger years.<br /><br />His idea of a workout these days is not hoisting back shots of hooch. Clean and sober for decades, he gets his workout kicks now by hitting the gym and drinking freshly squeezed apple juice. And hanging with his beloved pooch Sparky and artist bride Mary Hughson — who lays out and designs his books — in their little piece of paradise on the Lachine waterfront.<br /><br />“Champlain used to cavort in a canoe out there, and he couldn’t even swim,” cracks Mosher, pointing to a spot on Lac St-Louis from his living room window. For his part, Mosher can and does swim in those waters.<br /><br />Yet while Mosher may be a more mellow man these days, he is still the maverick who delights in shredding the powerful and pompous who merit it. As Rick Mercer has so succinctly put it: “Aislin is Canada’s most celebrated shit disturber.”<br /><br />He can be naughty. He can also be nice on occasion. In addition to skewering Pauline Marois on the cover with her likeness doing a priceless Miley Cyrus impression on a wrecking ball, or inside the book, with our former premier sporting a coif composed entirely of al dente pasta, Mosher pays fond tribute to Gary Carter and Queen Elizabeth.<br /><br />“There is no question about it. I can be a lot gentler than I used to be. But also when I am tough now, I think I’m a lot more clever about it. It’s still fun.”<br /><br />In his basement studio, there is a near-life-size caricature of Mosher by fellow cartoonist <b>Pat Oliphant</b>. It depicts Mosher as half-angel, half-devil, with wings and yet with what looks more like a shot glass than a halo over his head. It was done over 20 years ago, but Mosher still loves the duality of the image it projects.<br /><br />Mosher remains a kid, even at 71. “I’m about to sign a new three-year Gazette contract, so I had better stay in shape,” he quips.<br /><br />“I’ve discovered the importance of moving at my age, so I am being active. But I do take pride that I am the oldest guy in the gym. Trust me, though, I’m not trying to turn into Charles Atlas.”<br /><br />He insists one doesn’t need bad habits for inspiration these days. Turn on the TV, radio or Internet, and the absurdities of life beckon.<br /><br />“Even the healthiest person around can be quite cynical now,” he says. “I used to claim that I had to drink or do a drug to get cartoon ideas. But then I had to be honest when I woke up every morning. I had scribbled these cartoon ideas the night before, but I couldn’t read them the next day. Now I can read them.”<div>
<br /></div>
<i>The Wrecking Ball </i>is akin to a greatest hits anthology, culled from the last two years of Aislin editorial cartoons. When viewed on a daily basis, each cartoon has a certain impact. But when viewed as a collection in a book, they resonate even more, largely because many are part of a series with a striking narrative and context — be they relating to the provincial election campaign, charter of values, municipal chaos, federal senate scandal or Rob Ford.<br /><br />“I usually do a book every three years, but so much has happened recently: three regime changes at city hall, a couple of Parti Québécois changes and so much more. But the fun comes in going through it all and trying to figure which cartoons to use — to give readers a sense of the last two years we’ve lived through.<br /><br />“I still believe in the business of producing books,” he continues. “It’s remains the best way to be remembered. Sure, we can store up electronic data. But where is that going to be in 20 years? Whereas a book can stay around for hundreds of years.”<br /><br />On that note, he announces he has at least three more books in the works. “In 2017, I will have been cartooning for 50 years. Canada will be celebrating its 150th birthday. So I will be putting together a book called <i>Alias Aislin: 50 Years of Cartoons</i>.<br /><br />“I’ve got a lot of travel plans ahead of me, so maybe I’ll think about getting out after that book,” he says, before quickly adding: “But then again, maybe not.”<br /><br />Mosher currently puts out four cartoons a week in The Gazette, but he will soon be cutting back to three. “It’s part of the aging process,” he muses. “But there will be more (Gazette cartoonist) Pascal, which is a good thing.”<br /><br />Unlike many artists, Mosher is quite bullish on the work of many of his fellow cartoonists, from his good buddy <b>Serge Chapleau</b> of <i>La Presse</i> to <i>The New Yorker</i>’s <b>Barry Blitt.</b> “Really, who’s got the time to attack others? The only person I compete with, and not all that much, is myself.<br /><br />“Barry is from Montreal, like so many great cartoonists who have come from here — there must be something in the air here,” says Mosher, while perusing a Blitt <i>New Yorker</i> cover of cops chasing a football player running down the field. “(Blitt) is so clever, a nice guy who does brilliant work. He told me that when he was eight years old, he went to one of my book signings. He’s probably saying now that I’m never going to quit.”<br /><br />What makes Mosher stand out in his field are his bold strokes and brash colours — which invariably jump out from the page and immediately capture the attention of readers, regardless of whether they agree or disagree with the content.<div>
<br /></div>
And sometimes he’ll use no illustration at all, but rather just words. Such as this beauty in the book: On a cranberry background, under the heading of “Then,” he has a series of about 70 “blah ... blah ... blah;” and on a green background, under the heading of “Now,” he has an equally long series of “blog ... blog ... blog.” We get the point.<br /><br />Which is not to suggest that he hasn’t taken advantage of new technologies available.<br /><br />“I’ve adapted to today’s technology and quite like it,” he says. “Sure, I could still be doing the René Lévesque big head, little body things. But if I went on and on, just doing the same thing, I’d be bored. And, quite frankly, some do get a style and stick to it. There is a price to be paid in not changing.<br /><br />“The fact is that if I’m going to keep going at it, I want to, and have to, surprise people still. And that’s a good thing, because people don’t know what to expect. Sometimes I don’t know what to expect. Some mornings I wake up and go: ‘What the hell was I thinking?’”<br /><br />He has been reflecting of late on the life span of cartoons. “The reality is that most cartoons which are drawn may provide a momentary chuckle, but they are eminently forgettable. But if every once and a while you come up with a cartoon that you know has a chance of resting comfortably in the public consciousness, you have a real winner,” he says, acknowledging that his 1976 classic of premier-designate René Lévesque’s famed “OK, everybody, take a Valium” utterance achieved that. “That’s always been the goal, and that’s when you know you’ve really succeeded.<br /><br />“I guess the only big difference now is that I draw cartoons for how they will look on a computer, not in a newspaper.” Pause. “God knows, I could end up being an app.”<br /><br /><br /><br />Terry Mosher will be launching <i>The Wrecking Ball and Other Recent Cartoons</i> by Aislin (Linda Leith Publishing, $19.95) on Tuesday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Paragraphe Bookstore, 2220 McGill College Ave.<br /><br /><a href="http://mailto:bbrownstein@montrealgazette.com/"></a><a href="mailto:bbrownstein@montrealgazette.com">bbrownstein@montrealgazette.com</a>The Association of Canadian Editorial Cartoonistshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10875433828684409996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5233735269361519799.post-44902598241312828702014-09-30T11:22:00.001-04:002014-09-30T11:22:56.925-04:00Lacroix au Quotidien<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

(Chicoutimi) Le caricaturiste du Quotidien, <b>Mario Lacroix</b>, a griffonné plus de 10 000 caricatures en 25 ans de carrière au coeur de l'actualité régionale. Le <a href="http://museedufjord.com/expositions-et-activites">Musée du Fjord</a> de La Baie lui consacre une exposition pour souligner ce quart de siècle de clins d'oeil quotidiens parfois mordants, souvent satiriques, la plupart du temps amusants, mais toujours présents. Chaque matin, on prend plaisir à siroter ces illustrations comme un bon café.<br /><a name='more'></a><br />«Il a fallu regarder 8500 dessins pour en choisir 250 pour l'exposition. Je ne savais plus où donner de la tête. J'ai décidé de ne pas seulement choisir les meilleurs, car ça prenait un fil conducteur. J'en ai retenu environ 2000 pour faire un choix final, ce fut un long exercice, mais j'ai eu beaucoup de plaisir à replonger dans le passé et de revoir d'anciens visages», a commenté celui qu'on peu qualifier d'éditorialiste de l'image.<br /><br />Intitulée <i>Lacroix au Quotidien</i> l'exposition présente dix toiles grand format suspendues à l'entrée du musée qui présentent chacune environ 25 caricatures regroupées sous 18 thèmes différents.<br /><br />Le visiteur y découvrira l'histoire de l'actualité régionale, un projet qui peut se lire comme une bande dessinée murale.<br /><br /><b>Regard sur le passé</b><br /><br />Le caricaturiste a aussi pigé dans ses premières oeuvres en noir et blanc réalisées au crayon-feutre. Il nous ramène la bouille d'anciens politiciens, nous fait revivre certains événements comme le déluge, la fermeture du pont Dubuc, la fusion municipale ou la saga du sous-marin Chicoutimi.<br /><br />Les icônes de la région comme le lac, le fjord, Rio Tinto Alcan, l'industrie du bois et les quidams, ces citoyens «monsieur Tout-le-Monde» qui commentent l'actualité régionale, font aussi partie des images à redécouvrir. Évidemment, le maire Jean Tremblay, qui marque la politique municipale depuis 17 ans, occupe une thématique importante dans l'exposition.<br /><br />Mario Lacroix, qui a travaillé comme facteur pour Postes Canada durant toute sa carrière, aujourd'hui à la retraite, demeure toujours passionné par le dessin d'opinion. «Souvent, le caricaturiste peut aller plus loin que l'éditorialiste, les images peuvent être plus cinglantes que des mots, même si c'est fait avec humour», relate celui qui a laissé le carton blanc de côté pour utiliser une tablette électronique afin de créer ses illustrations. «J'aime encore la magie de voir apparaître un dessin sous un trait de crayon.<br /><br />Une vidéo expliquant la technologie utilisée par le caricaturiste dans l'exécution de ses oeuvres quotidienne fait aussi partie de l'exposition. Le dessinateur de 58 ans utilise encore le crayon pour caricaturer l'actualité, sauf qu'il n'a plus besoin de livrer son dessin en personne à la salle de réaction, tout se fait par Internet.</div>

<i></i><br /><div>
It began as it so often does for Bruce MacKinnon: by reading something in a newspaper.<br /><br />In this case <i>The Chronicle Herald</i>, where, last spring, Ottawa bureau chief Paul McLeod wrote a series of stories on the Harper government’s anti-cyberbullying bill, in which he revealed that the government was compiling a secret database of all cellphone users’ private information by regularly accessing that data from the big telecommunications companies.<br /><a name='more'></a><br />MacKinnon didn’t like the sound of that — or that the bill would give government, the police and telecoms new grounds to collect and share citizens’ private information without their consent.<br /><br />“Sounded like vintage Stephen Harper to me,” said The Chronicle Herald’s award-winning staff cartoonist. “So I just wanted something funny that illustrated the darker side of what was happening.”<br /><br />From that somewhat modest-sounding ambition emerged the extraordinary cartoon which has won the 14th International Editorial Cartoon Competition of the Canadian Committee for World Press Freedom.<br /><br />The annual competition is focused on a particular theme. This year’s — <i><a href="http://bado-badosblog.blogspot.ca/2014/02/14th-world-press-freedom-international.html">Big Brother Is Watching You </a></i>— drew responses from around the world.<br /><br />It also struck a particular chord with MacKinnon, who was runner-up in the competition in 2012.<br /><br />“I have an iPhone, and yes, the fact that the media had to reveal that we were being spied on, on a grand scale, by a government that came in on a promise of transparency and accountability rots my shorts just a little,” he said in a recent email.<br /><br />A little righteous anger can stoke the creative process, he said.</div>

<img height="542" src="http://thechronicleherald.ca/sites/default/files/u63629/Brucex27%20RGB.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="640" /><br /><br />In MacKinnon’s award-winner, a woman in tuque and scarf yaks away on her cellphone, while a sinister black-garbed character walks behind, catching the binary code from her conversation in a butterfly net.<br /><br />Other than the “GOV’T” on the man’s briefcase, the cartoon is wordless. For MacKinnon, that is the epitome of the cartoonist’s art.<br /><br />“The cartoonist’s strongest weapon is the visual, so to me, the best cartoon is one that needs no words at all.<br /><br />“Sometimes a good punchline is worth its weight in guffaws, but the completely wordless cartoon is the ideal,” he said.<br /><br />In his 28 years at <i>The Chronicle Herald</i>, the Antigonish native has had his share of those.<br /><br />MacKinnon receives his award Friday at the World Press Freedom luncheon in Ottawa.</div>

<br />The third prize winner is <b>Rodrigo de Matos</b>, who draws cartoons for publications in several countries, including Portugal and Macau, China.<br /><br />MacKinnon said that it is humbling to be in the company of journalists from around the globe.<br /><br />“Some have had to face a great deal more adversity than me to do their jobs. I feel extremely lucky in that way, to be from a country, and certainly a province, that places such a high priority on press freedom,” he said.<br /><br />In addition to the Order of Nova Scotia and an honorary degree from Saint Mary’s University, MacKinnon has received more than a dozen national and regional newspaper cartooning awards.<br /></div>

<i>Toronto Sun</i> legend <b>Andy Donato</b> can add a new accolade to his already impressive list of accomplishments.Donato will be inducted into the Italian Walk of Fame on May 28 with a special ceremony and celebratory dinner.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The editorial cartoonist’s work has graced the pages of the <i>Toronto Sun</i> since the 1973. Jimi Bertucci, co-founder of the Italian Walk of Fame, called Donato a Canadian icon.<br />
<br />
“He has had a tremendous impact on Canadian culture,” he said. “We feel really honoured he’s part of our community.”<br />
<br />
Donato, a National Newspaper Award winner, said he “just about fell on the floor” when he heard the news of his induction. “I’m very proud of my Italian roots,” he said. “I always have been. It’s just a great honour that they recognize this.”<br />
<br />
In fact, Donato’s connections to Little Italy, where the walk of fame is emblazoned on the sidewalk, are strong.<br />
<br />
His mother was born there, and his father and uncle lived in the area at one time. Donato spent much of his youth in the Bathurst-College Sts. area.<br />
<br />
The Italian Walk of Fame is located on College St., just west of Clinton St.<br />
<br />
Donato will be inducted into the Walk of Fame by <i>Toronto Sun </i>publisher Mike Power. “The Sun Family couldn’t be happier for Andy,” Power said. “It’s a well-deserved honour. He’s been such a big part of the <i>Toronto Sun</i>’s success and has been one of the top editorial cartoonists in North America for decades.”<br />
<br />
The class of 2014 will also include singer Gino Vannelli and actor Joe Mantegna.<br />
<br />
Established in 2009, the Italian Walk of Fame doesn’t just restrict itself to Canadians. Previous inductees include Dean Martin, Armand Assante and Connie Francis.<br />
<br />
“We just thought Andy was the perfect person for this,” Bertucci said. “This is definitely someone with Italian roots. He’s contributed so much.”<br />

<i><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #262626; font-family: Arial;">Le dénonciateur d’activités illicites Edward Snowden a révélé comment la National Security Agency (NSA), de concert avec des organismes gouvernementaux, a espionné les communications privées de millions de personnes. D’autres révélations ont dévoilé comment la NSA s’est servie de l’énorme quantité de données recueillies par les sociétés Internet et de téléphonie pour contourner les lois qui interdisent aux organismes gouvernementaux d’espionner leurs propres citoyens. L’absence de protection contre la surveillance illégale et injustifiée peut décourager les communications privées entre les personnes et mener à une autocensure massive, à l’étouffement de la liberté d’expression et à la création d’une société orwellienne. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

London cartoonist Diana Tamblyn has started a new regional comics festival named after a beloved local cartoonist. The Ting Comic and Graphic Arts Festival is scheduled for the week of April 22 and will showcase the work of a plethora of South-Western Ontario comics makers.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;">
The event is named for cartoonist Merle “Ting” Tingley (born 1922) who drew political cartoons for the London Free Press for 40 years. Although he retired in the 1980s, “Ting” and his signature cartoon mascot Luke Worm are still treasured by a generation of Canadians who bought his books and read his cartoons which were syndicated across the country.</div>

<strong>Event Overview:</strong><br />Named after famed London Free Press editorial cartoonist Merle (Ting) Tingley, Ting is a 2-week festival showcasing comic and graphic artists from London and the greater Southwestern Ontario area, past, present and future.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;">
Centering around a gallery show at The Arts Project, the festival will also feature workshops, panel discussions, a pop-up shop and more. The dual purpose of the festival is to provide a forum for artists to present their work to the public not normally accessible through normal commercial channels and to raise awareness of The Arts Project, a non-profit arts incubator based in London, Ontario.</div>

<strong>More About Ting:</strong><br />Merle Tingley (Ting) was the editorial cartoonist for the London Free Press for almost forty years (1948-1986). He won national and international awards for his art, and is regarded as the dean of Canadian newspaper cartoonists. Ting’s attention to detail and craftsmanship characterize his work. Over the years, his whimsical, down-to-earth humour attracted a loyal following among thousands of<br />readers, not only in the Free Press but across Canada in more than 60 weeklies and dailies, which carried his syndicated material. His famous cartoon mascot, Luke Worm, is immediately recognizable.</div>

<br /><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">'The company does not love you': the editorial cartoon after Roy Peterson</span><br />
<div>
<i>From his termination at </i>The Vancouver Sun<i> to his role in the community of illustrators, we remember the "Great Cartoonist"</i></div>
<a href="" name="more"></a><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />“They’re not going to like this,” thought copy editor Cheryl Parker as she walked <b>Roy Peterson</b>’s last cartoon through<i>The Vancouver Sun</i> newsroom in 2009. The caricature showed Peterson dressed as Father Time, holding a newspaper with the headline “Newspaper terminates editorial cartoonist” and a sign that read, “The End Is Nigh!”<br /><br />Parker took it to editorial pages editor, Fazil Mihlar, who would decide, along with editor-in-chief, Patricia Graham, to publish it or kill it.<br /><br />They killed it.<br /><br />
<div>
<br />For the first time in 47 years, the <i>Sun</i> rejected one of his cartoons—and Peterson earned his first Golden Spike, the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists’ award for the best rejected editorial cartoon. “He told me he wanted to win it more than any other award,” says <b>Bob Krieger</b> of his friend, who<a href="http://bado-badosblog.blogspot.ca/2013/10/roy-peterson-1936-2013.html" style="color: #797979; text-decoration: none;"> died in September at the age of 77</a>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Peterson’s pride at winning the Golden Spike was one of the few times a man known for his geniality and subtlety showed bitterness about his exit from the paper. Many cartoonists and journalists across Canada considered it a brutal ending for someone of Peterson’s stature, and prophetic about the state of the industry. “It might’ve been a life lesson for the rest of us,” says Montreal cartoonist <b>Terry Mosher</b>. “You can love the company that you work for all you want but just remember: the company does not love you.”<br /><br />***<br /><br />Born in 1936 in Winnipeg, Peterson developed a gift for drawing early on. His mother signed him up for art classes when he was about six years old. At Kitsilano Secondary School in Vancouver, he was in charge of the cartoons for the school paper and posters for plays and events. Later, while working an extra shift at Woodward’s Department Store, he met Margaret Brand, a friend of a fellow employee. She had a sense of humour, charm to match his own and a thick Scottish accent. Brand became an incredible business partner when Peterson started at the Sun in 1962. She did everything so that he could draw, says cartoonist <b>Kerry Waghorn</b>. “She loved doing it. She was really good at it.”<br /><br />Everything included checking cutlines, negotiating his contract, delivering his cartoons to the <i>Sun</i> (or to the airport for delivery to publications on the East Coast) and raising their five children to recognize the sanctity of silence—and an available phone line—when deadlines approached. “Without my mom, there would be no Roy Peterson, Great Cartoonist,” says his daughter, Gillian Peterson. “And he knew that.”<br /><br />In 1978, he began illustrating <a href="http://www.drfoth.com/index.html" style="color: #797979; text-decoration: none;">Allan Fotheringham</a>’s column on the back page of <i>Maclean’s</i>. The partnership (along with regular assignments for publications in the U.S.) helped spread Peterson’s prestige across the continent. For aspiring cartoonists such as <b>Wes Tyrell</b>, president of the Association of Canadian Editorial Cartoonists (ACEC), Peterson’s work was a crucial part of their creative education.<br /><br />By the end of his career, Peterson had won seven National Newspaper Awards, produced several books, co-founded the ACEC and was one of only two Canadian presidents of its American counterpart. He was invested into the Order of Canada in 2004. His cartoons were detailed, shrewd and insightful—a byproduct of careful observation of people and events. Former Sun columnist and editor Trevor Lautens wrote, “Roy had an uncanny eye for the telling facial characteristic, whether the smirk, the petulance, the arrogance, the unthinking vacant look, that set him apart as a cartoonist.”<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392) 1px 1px 5px; background-color: white; border: 1px solid rgb(233, 233, 233); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392) 1px 1px 5px; color: black; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 5px; position: relative; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />Peterson built a devout following of cartoonists, many of whom became close friends. They were often younger artists who’d grown up with his work and introduced themselves expecting nothing more than brief acknowledgement. Yet, a month after receiving a single cartoon from Waghorn, Peterson invited the then-teenaged artist to his office at the <i>Sun</i>for lunch. Soon Waghorn was one of many cartoonists to visit Peterson’s West Vancouver home and studio, even borrowing some of his personal sketchbooks. He eventually landed his first assignment with the <i>Sun</i> on Peterson’s recommendation. Peterson was, wrote Fotheringham in a tribute in <i>Maclean’s</i>, freakishly courteous: “A civil gentlemen in a profession that had so few.”<br /><br />His network of friends and colleagues supported him after Margaret’s sudden death in 2003 and as his own health declined after he left the <i>Sun</i>. Some flew to Vancouver to see him the summer before his death, when he was too sick to attend ACEC events. “He was a world-class cartoonist,” says Krieger, “but he was a much better person.”<br /><br />Even the people he eviscerated in his cartoons liked him. It was, says Krieger, his ability to be critical without being mean-spirited that earned him respect from politicians on both sides of the border and across party lines. He drew politicians and interpreted political events with a critical eye because he knew his job was more than just making people laugh. “It was like being immortalized in a Rembrandt,” says <b>Bruce MacKinnon</b>, cartoonist for the <i>Halifax Chronicle Herald</i>. “If you appeared in a Roy Peterson cartoon, you tended to keep that cartoon.”<br /><br />The number of regular cartoonists in Canada has dwindled along with the number of newspapers. Photography and syndicated work have slowly reduced the demand for the kind of detailed, personal drawing Peterson perfected. Fellow cartoonists and former colleagues at the paper guess that his departure from the <i>Sun</i> came down to money. That year, the paper’s publisher, Canwest, filed for bankruptcy protection and sold its newspaper assets to Postmedia Network. </div>

OTTAWA — After a little more than three years as a regular in the <i>Citizen</i>, the comic strip Attica is stepping aside.<br /><a name='more'></a><br />The creator, <b>Jeff Burney</b>, of Chelsea, Que., has decided to pull back and have Attica run as a web-based comic strip starting on Monday.<br /><br />The decision was difficult, Burney says.<br /><br />“Drawing comics was always a dream and a hobby for me while I worked as an engineer in the telecom industry.”Burney left his day job to concentrate on his dream in 2008.<br /><br />“It took me about a year to develop the concept of Attica and put together a package of sample strips to submit to the syndicates. They weren’t interested, so I started mailing out packages to newspaper editors.” The Citizen offered a six-week trial that became a permanent spot based on reader feedback.<br /><br />“Attica has had ups and downs over the run of three years. It’s appeared in the Globe & Mail, National Post, The Feathertale Review, and I get regular web traffic from places all around the world. But I wasn’t getting any sales interest from other newspapers. ... It’s a full-time effort for me to draw Attica and the economics are such that you need to be in multiple papers to earn a full-time salary.”<br /><br />So, he decided to move to a three-days-a-week “web comic.”<br /><br />Fans can follow it on Burney’s <a href="http://www.atticacomic.ca/">website</a> where a new full-colour comic will appear Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Readers can reach Burney at <a href="mailto:jeff@atticacomic.ca">jeff@atticacomic.ca</a>.<br /><br />“It was not an easy decision for me to stop the daily print run in the Citizen. I love drawing Attica and the characters are like a second family for me. But I think it’s the right choice at this time.”<div>

With his witty, irreverent humour, Harrop has satirized most of Canada's major political figures. He has commented on government scandals, the cozy connection of politicians and pop idols, and the continuing battles between the feds and the provinces. He is noted for his humorous take on Leonard Cohen in his much publicized retreat to a California monastery as well as Margaret Atwood and her "remote pen" for signing books. Above all, however, Harrop focuses on everyday happenings: the struggle between doctors and their patients, the fashion industry, computer technicians, fast food outlets, Revenue Canada's voracious appetite and, more recently, the 2010 winter Olympics.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><br />

The comic strip is like vaudeville, I often say, only not as dead. That’s like a punch line, only not as funny. Still, a comic strip doesn’t always have to be funny; it just needs to have a point. A grain of truth trumps mere cleverness every time.<br /><br />That’s one of the things I’ve learned in the course of writing and drawing Fisher for <i>The Globe and Mail</i> for 20 years, as of today. Another is that the deadline is my friend. In fact, you could say that the deadline made Fisher possible. Without that weekly target, it’s unlikely that I would have produced more than 6,000 strips by now. I’ve learned to trust that, since I’ve met that deadline several hundred times in a row, I can probably do it again this week.<br /><br />But in the beginning I wasn’t thinking about that. I just wanted to write and draw a daily strip, having grown up reading<i>Peanuts</i> and admiring <b>Charles Schulz</b>’s ability to invest his simple drawings with real feeling. So, in 1989, I drew up a sample of strips about an underemployed English major — write what you know, they say — and sent copies to all the major newspaper syndicates and to <i>The Globe and Mail</i>. (<i>The Globe</i> was already publishing <b>Graham Harrop</b>’s <i>Back Bench</i> as an exclusive, so I knew the paper was a supporter of Canadian cartooning.)<br /><br />That sample, and the next, were universally rejected, but <b>Warren Clements</b> at <i>The Globe</i> ultimately reconsidered. We met in the spring of 1992, he offered me a spot on the comics page, and that hapless underemployed young man debuted on June 26, 1992. At first <i>Fisher</i> ran four days a week, alternating with Warren’s strip, <i>Nestlings</i>. A year and a half later it began running six days a week, and hasn’t missed an edition of <i>The Globe</i> since.<br /><br />At that first meeting Warren talked me out of my working title, <i>Idiot Mittens</i>. (I still like that title. <i>Funeral Sandwiches</i> is another you should feel free to use.) It didn’t take long to settle on Fisher instead. I didn’t mind. I had a comic strip, exclusive to <i>The Globe and Mail</i>! Published coast to coast! Fortune, or at least fame, was mine!<br /><br />Actually, what I gained instead was that deadline, and the opportunity to hone my craft in public. Learning what works and doesn’t usually involves making mistakes, but making mistakes in public wasn’t frightening to me. I had already made plenty drawing caricatures at Ontario Place over several summers.<br /><br />And the mistakes in <i>Fisher</i> weren’t fatal. They were just gags that in retrospect could have been funnier or better drawn, or dead-end situations or characters that never panned out. Writing straight ahead for a comic strip means that going back and rewriting it later is impossible. So if the whole run of the strip has any coherence at all, it must be an organic one, a consistency of outlook and character.<br /><br />Some strips, like<i> Peanuts</i>, are set in an endless Now, in which characters may change and evolve but without growing older. (Some strips have no discernible evolution at all.) After the first 200 strips or so, I had used up all of my initial ideas and had to discover what Fisher would be about.<br /><br />When the strip started, I was already married and in my thirties, but Tom Fisher was single, in his mid-twenties, and trying to get his life moving again. (In today’s parlance, he was having a quarter-life crisis.) He moved into a shared household in Toronto (like one of several I had lived in) and eventually got a job, fell in love with Alison, got married, bought a house, and had a child. His life began to catch up with mine.<br /><br />Naturally, some people think the strip is a window into my life. (Others have told me I must have a window into theirs.) Tom is certainly my alter ego, but everything that happens to him has been filtered through my imagination. I’ve never worked in advertising, nor do I have a Bixby 800 robot. So the strip is not exactly a diary but rather a portrait of the inside of my head, with most of the nasty and boring bits left out.<br /><br />People usually want to know where my ideas come from. I have thought a lot about it, since I’m at least as curious to know as they are. The best answer I have is this: They come out of the dark. More specifically, they wander out of the woods, passing mere feet away from where my picnic table sits under a lamp. Then I watch them waddle back into the dark, and if I don’t write them down they’re gone.<br /><br />Some ideas show themselves in conversation. Often my wife will pause at a point in our dialogue and say, “That’s a Fisher strip. Write it down.” As a fine collaborator and critic, Vanessa has contributed more to the strip than I can readily admit — as she well knows.<br /><br />Although repetition (with variation) is a time-honoured and even necessary dodge for a comic strip — think of Charlie Brown and the football — every once in a while I find myself entering new territory. Earlier this month I invited a write-in campaign for the first time, asking readers to suggest names for Ruth and Eugene’s puppy. I was thrilled to get dozens of replies. The winner is revealed in today’s anniversary strip.</div>

Our convention started on a high note on <b>Thursday</b> night with a <a href="http://bado-badosblog.blogspot.ca/2012/07/justin-trudeau-at-new-yorker-panel.html">panel discussion</a> at McGill's Moyse Hall with <i>New Yorker</i> cartoonists Anita Kunz, Barry Blitt and Matt Diffee.<br />
Federal MP Justin Trudeau made a surprise appearance and talked about being lampooned by cartoonists.<br />
He mentioned this Mike DeAdder cartoon published that day.<br />

On <b>Friday</b> morning two different tours were organized to visit the studios of the popular <i><a href="http://laflaque.radio-canada.ca/">"Et Dieu crea... Laflaque"</a></i> animated TV show. The half hour weekly program can be seen on Radio-Canada at 7:30 on Sunday nights.<br />

In the afternoon we strolled to the McCord Museum for presentations by historian Dominic Hardy, <i><a href="http://www.courrierinternational.com/">Courrier International</a></i> editor Odile Conseil and by Ottawa's <i>Le Droit</i> cartoonist Guy Badeaux (Bado) who talked about international cartoon competitions.<br />
He mentioned <a href="http://www.worldpresscartoon.com/en#/homepage/49">World Press Cartoon</a> in Sintra (Portugal), the <a href="http://www.aydindoganvakfi.org.tr/ENG/InternationalCaricature.aspx">Aydin Doğan Competition</a> in Istanbul (Turkey) as well as the <a href="http://www.ccwpf-cclpm.ca/cartoons-2012">World Press Freedom Cartoon Contest</a> in Ottawa.<br />
<br />
The McCord Museum later hosted the opening of the <a href="http://bado-badosblog.blogspot.ca/2012/06/cartoon-canada-at-mccord-museum.html">"Caricature Canada Cartoon"</a> exhibition where surprise guest Gilles Duceppe <a href="http://bado-badosblog.blogspot.ca/2012/06/cartoon-canada-opening.html">got back</a> at <i>La Presse</i> cartoonist Serge Chapleau<b> </b>for drawing him with a shower cap while visiting a cheese factory.<br />
<br />
Cartoonists were then free to enjoy Montreal's Jazz Festival and were serenaded in the hospitality suite by the <a href="http://www.bros.ca/bros/esbarry.htm">Stephen Barry Blues Band</a> as well as by the Barry Blitt (piano) and Bado (harmonica) duo.<br />

On <b>Saturday</b> morning, four presentations took place in the McCord Museum auditorium. Historian <a href="http://jaleengrove.blogspot.ca/">Jaleen Grove</a> gave a talk on Canadian illustration and <i>National Lampoon</i> contributor Michel Choquette regaled us with his long journey to get his 60's opus <i><a href="http://bado-badosblog.blogspot.ca/2011/11/someday-funnies-in-mother-jones.html">Someday Funnies</a></i> published. <a href="http://www.drawnandquarterly.com/">Drawn & Quarterly</a> publisher Chris Oliveiros and cartoonist Pascal Girard then gave us a primer on comic novels.<br />
<br />
Our lunch banquet guest was former Prime Minister of Canada Paul Martin who, instead of giving a speech, spoke of living in a political family where editorial cartoons were appreciated.<br />
