The Sequential Contest:
A columnist for the Orangeville Citizen gives a brief history of cartooning in Canada (of the editorial sort) and puts out the call for a new cartoon representation of Canada. The columnist, William Bothwell, does a good job, but he might have mentioned Johnny Canuck, Captain Canuck, Jasper the Bear, or the work of contemporary iconic Canadian cartoonists like Seth (who, in case you haven’t noticed, has an artisitc passion for all things Canadian). And what’s wrong with the lumberjack, anyway?
Sequential is putting out the call: design a new cartoon image for Canada.
Submit your own design or a favourite from years gone by.
