Taking a break this week. While I scare up a new topic, here’s a few past cartoons published in that cousin of cuneiform, newsprint.
This 2017 cartoon on Vancouver real estate requires little comment. I recall around the time there were 180-square foot condos for sale for dementedly high prices in the Chinatown area, with “European spa-style bathrooms.” Meaning shared bathrooms down the hall! That’s one way to get to know your neighbours.
Ah yes, the greenest city in the world! Or is that the greedest city? Vancouver’s insane real estate prices (which still remain suspended in air like Wile E. Coyote before he realizes he’s gone off a cliff), were previously goosed by foreign investors, some connected to casino-based money laundering and the fentanyl market. Premier Christy Clark didn’t just look the other way; she and her cronies tootled off on junkets to Asia to market pricey highrise properties before locals even knew they were in the works.
A Vancouver Courier editor felt this 2017 cartoon inappopiate and nixed it because it was a response to a female reader’s angry letter about my “sexist” Christy Clark cartoon. He may also have thought I was getting a bit too meta for my own good, or even figured I was trying to get out of drawing by referencing a toon from 2010. Never published. The world’s loss then, your gain now!
I like that I was able to combine to utterly unrelated memes here: Tibetan Buddhism and Trumpian Boobism.
As a kid I was a huge fan of Marvel Comics, so with a newsworthy excuse I leapt on the opportunity to draw one of the characters.
That's my fave too...soo wonderfully inappropriate !
Like the woke joke. Ha ha ha ha! Man-date.....Har har har har
