This past weekend I was in Montreal for the annual convention of the Association of Canadian Editorial Cartoonists.
Fisher is seldom political and I'm not much of a joiner, but I couldn't resist the invitation to join this year and I'm glad I didn't... resist. (
Fisher has been keeping company with political cartoons in several editions of
Portfoolio, the annual anthology of, naturally, political cartoons. Here's an example of about how political my strip gets:)
Anyhow I had a blast in Montreal and must credit the organizers (primarily Terry Mosher — pen name "Aislin"— and his wife, Mary) for doing a great job. Terry is pictured below at right, holding the bust of himself created by Christian Daigle — pen name "Fleg", who is standing beside him. There is an exhibition of cartoons (
Fisher included) at the McCord Museum in Montreal, and that will be up all summer.
Really miss your strip in the Globe..... I did write to them and complain, saying you were a Canadian strip that had irony and humour that was worth keeping! But, to no avail, apparently! I didn't even get an acknowledgment! I am guessing that the paper is struggling, my husband observes that the paper isn't as good as it used to be. We live in difficult times! I wish you well with your strip and your artistic endeavours, whatever they may be! Cheers
