Remember, Montreal! I'm going to be at Expozine this weekend! You should come.
I realized today that the comic I was working on was going to take longer than I thought, so I made these up real quick before I take off for Montreal! You go to one of these things, and it's four days gone like a flash. Not that anyone checks the internet on the weekend, but still. In any case, I like the Kiss elves.

what's up guys, how you doin'?
i wish i could get an answer about that because I'd love to know how you're DOIN'!
i'm not having a wonderful time. i have good times, but they're ... well they're not really few and far between, they're often and many.. but they're not extremely extreme. and i don't remember all of them. and they're all very similar. and they don't include nature.
i do know what's wrong, but i don't know how to make myself fix it.
anyway, i think i would really like to go home when it snows this year. everything is so pretty there and i want to see it all covered in beautiful, sparkly, white powder. i've just noticed that that sounded a little like i take a lot of cocaine. i don't take cocaine, guys. i tried it once and it didn't do much for me. well, my nose hurt for a few days, but that's about it. anyway, don't take cocaine. i want to see the beautiful snow on the ground. i would like to lie in this snow, at the bottom of that hill. grey nuns... gratz college, ramah, what ever you call that, i would like to lie at the bottom of that hill and look at the grey sky. for a long time.
alone.

I got a comment about my last comic saying that it condoned smoking, but I don't, that is nonsense! You should also not lasso cats out of trees, if that doesn't go without saying. Historical smoking is another matter, go ahead and have a smoke in the trench, but I advise against lighting three cigarettes at night.
Remembrance Day always makes me ruminative about the place of history in our current consciences, because it is one of the few holidays where we are explicitly told listen you have to remember this thing that happened ok and, one, people pay attention, two, there is nothing jamming the line like bbq's or parties or football games or chocolate eggs or presents. History: You should give a shit, who knew.
Just so we are clear though, I don't really care about Queen Victoria's birthday either so go ahead and slam it back on May 24 weekend, fireworks and the whole bit. Honestly we should all get free corgis on Victoria Day.

1. Take a picture of something iconic of a current "to ____ to be true" news story.
2. Paste a shot of Barack Obama walking down some steps or a path next to the subject.
3. Add "Obama _____s (about)(to)(of)" to yesterday's headline.
4. Profit!!! (except just a little less than last year, because you give it away for free on the internet)

Requests aren't done, they will be popping up as we go, but honestly I do not need annnyymooreee! I was looking at the Wonder Women that I drew last year and started drawing her again, because she's pretty fun to draw, and surly Wonder Woman here came out. Don't settle for being a tits and tits heroine ladies, be yourself! Poor Nibbles.
Hey Montreal! I'm going to be at Expozine this weekend! You should come.

Well, I used a lot of the suggestions that came my way from that post the other day! I was pretty pleased with the turnout of readers for that question, I must admit. I guess it's because you hear a lot that people don't give a darn about history in this country, if depressing yearly polls from the Dominion Institute mean anything, but it's clearly not the case among my livejournal followers. You guys are great!
I had to do a general sweep that involved a good range of places, professions, backgrounds and time periods, so you know, not everyone's favorite author is going to be in there but I sure did like the range in suggestions. Looking at it now I wish I had someone from the NWT (not one! for shame) and New Brunswick. Stompin Tom is from New Brunswick but he's also sort of from everywhere. I could have put the Irvings in there, I think they control history in NB as well as anything else.
I was all crazed out with strep throat while I did this, but listening to Radiolab shows and a burning passion for Canada I guess(?) kept me going. You can find the image in today's National Post, along with an article about the Historica/Dominion merger! Interesting stuff.
( picture is under the cut because it's huge )
Here is the legend, the rows are sort of wonky but you'll figure it out:
Row One (bottom):
James Wolfe, Louis-Joseph de Montcalm, David Suzuki, Louis-Joseph Papineau, John A. Macdonald, Terry Fox
Row Two
Emily Carr, Joseph Howe, Joey Smallwood, Robert Bartlett, Louis Riel, Joy Kogawa
Row Three
Marshall McLuhan, Samuel de Champlain, Marilyn Bell, Wayne Gretzky, Emily Murphy
Row Four
Rene Levesque, Sam Steele, Farley Mowat, L.M. Montgomery, Susanna Moodie and Catherine Parr Trail, John McCrae
Row Five
Pitikwahanapiwiyin (Poundmaker), Oscar Peterson, Rush, Pierre Berton
Row Six
Les Filles du Roi, Mary Pickford, Skookum Jim Mason
Row Seven
Charles Best, Frederick Banting, Pauline Johnson, Mordecai Richler, Tecumseh, Stompin’ Tom Connors
Row Eight
William Hall, Tommy Douglas, Marc Garneau, Roberta Bondar, Rosemary Brown, John Diefenbaker
Row Nine
Shanawdithit, Louis de Buade de Frontenac, David Thompson, William Shatner

Last night, by my front door, my box of books
arrived from Amazon...
[including] 'Kimba the White Lion', a video whose script formed
the basis for The Lion King.
(Okay, one of the books is a video. I lied. Book
me.) My son's books
don't know the first
thing about morality. But Kimba does. He was the first
creature I wanted to be other than myself, long before books
gave me Charlotte in her Web.... Kimba showed me the fist
was not the mightiest organ. Rather the brain, barely larger
than a fist,
can be subtler and more effective.

| Quick comics time |
[05 Nov 2009|08:26pm] |
What a week! Strep throat, broken website, a commission that took like eighty days (in one week!) to complete, jeepers.
Well it can only mean one thing.
It's quick comics time again, and done by request as is custom (it's about the only time I formally take requests anymore and only on livejournal, you are my special little guys!), so ante up all yous
edit!
Whoa I should mention, I think some people have the idea that I will do all the requests! There are always way too many, that is impossible, I just do some. But I read them all, and some of them will be turned into bigger comics, you never know.

Oh, Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson,
I read you once, harried and pressured
I knew the events, the settings, the characters
You changed a young Chinese American girl's life, Jack.
You were her courage, you were the one who inspired her
to assimilate,
to try to make friends,
and to believe
that she could be Chinese & American &
most
importantly
herself...
all
at
once.
THEEND.
===================================
AAAAAAAAaaaaand those are some of my thoughts on year of boar and jackie robinson, the book i read after babe and probably the first book i didnt read on time and felt the pressure of schoolwork one wants not to do.
the one thing I am sure that i learned (back then in 4th grade) is that the "challenge program" is a scam. also that jackie robinson such a cool dude. he stole so many bases, and he didnt even think it was uncouth. what a dawg, what a man. what a star. HERE'S TO YA, JACK!
(i think the moral of the story was either that a helpful tip for asian immigrants to America is to choose an American sounding name, or that a helpful tip is that you don't need to change your name to be yourself, or that Chinese people are all a year older than Americans (and thus wiser).)
( GO PHILS! )

Dear readers, let us combine our knowledge!
I am to do a big picture, for a newspaper, that features an assembly of characters from Canadian History. So as not to walk down the path of Terrible Bias, I'd like to have suggestions from you! Otherwise, I might end up just drawing Arthur Currie and Robert Borden sitting on a love seat.
So, a healthy dose of suggestions is in order, including (if you please) Arts, Science, Politics, Sports, Military, etc etc
