I didn't even know "Nothing Lasts" would be so long when I started drawing it. It just keeps getting longer and longer as I work on it. I need that mental buffer zone of the "anthology" to give me permission to do such spontaneous, indulgent comic stories. The easy answer is that there used to be a store in Toronto on King Street that was the exactly the "Clyde Fans" storefront I draw in the comic. It was already closed when I first encountered it or mostly closed and I often looked inside the dark window and saw the two photo portraits on the back wall of the owners. From there it was merely an imaginative jump to start making up their lives. The more complicated answer is that I don't really know where the story comes from. It is a complex mish-mash of fragments that has somehow come together over the years to mean something much more clearly about myself and my parents than I imagined when I first planned it out. It has evolved somewhat over time but it is surprisingly like the original plan. I tried hard then and now to not consciously give too much thought or obvious meaning to what I was writing. I knew, somehow, that it would all make some strange sense in the end. That seems to be working out so far from my perspective. Has your thinking about the story or the characters in "Clyde Fans" changed over time? Particularly as you've been making the new chapters the centerpiece of each "Palookaville" volume? As mentioned in the last answer, yes and no. No, not much has changed in the overall plan for the characters and the story since I began it sooooooo long ago. But, yes, small elements have slightly altered over the span of the work. I've come to understand connections in the story that I didn't see originally. New sequences have appeared. Some elements got bigger, some smaller. A couple of story points will need fixing up when I eventually collect the work. In a lot of ways it is remarkably as I planned it eons ago -- but in other ways it has subtly evolved into a more subtle work. What can we look forward to in Part 5 of "Clyde Fans? Part five, fingers crossed, will be printed entirely in "Palookaville" It is the shortest chapter of the book. I don't want to give anything away but let me just say it will either be entirely what my readers expect for an ending or just the opposite. I'm not really sure what people expect. To me, of course, it is the perfect ending -- simply because I have always known exactly how the story would "wrap up. Simple answer, the story had more to tell. The section in "Palookaville" 21 was never intended to be the whole piece. I figured out somewhere in the first 40 pages or so that I would write the story up to the end of young adulthood. At this point I imagine there are still about two installments of "Nothing Lasts" to go. It will end up about twice as long as I expected from when I started it. I ask in part because you've done little autobiographical work and in "Palookaville" we've seen these comics and your journal. Did your perspective on it change? Essentially I feel like everything I do is autobiographical in some way, shape or form. I don't really even think much about these distinctions any longer. Every new strip just feels like another logical step from whatever I was working on before it. The work is all of such a piece that often the themes from one work to the next are so similar that the readers probably get weary of my voice.

  • English-Language Graphic Narratives in Canada
    Drawing on the Margins of History: English-Language Graphic Narratives in Canada by Kevin Ziegler A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Kevin Ziegler 2013 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This study analyzes the techniques that Canadian comics life writers develop to construct personal histories. I examine a broad selection of texts including graphic autobiography, biography, memoir, and diary in order to argue that writers and readers can, through these graphic narratives, engage with an eclectic and eccentric understanding of Canadian historical subjects. Contemporary Canadian comics are important for Canadian literature and life writing because they acknowledge the importance of contemporary urban and marginal subcultures and function as representations of people who occasionally experience economic scarcity. I focus on stories of “ordinary” people because their stories have often been excluded from accounts of Canadian public life and cultural history. Following the example of Barbara Godard, Heather Murray, and Roxanne Rimstead, I re- evaluate Canadian literatures by considering the importance of marginal literary products. Canadian comics authors rarely construct narratives about representative figures standing in place of and speaking for a broad community; instead, they create what Murray calls “history with a human face . the face of the daily, the ordinary” (“Literary History as Microhistory” 411).

  • Truth, Justice, and the Canadian Way: the War-Time Comics of Bell Features Publications Ivan Kocmarek Hamilton, Ontario
    Truth, Justice, and the Canadian Way: The War-Time Comics of Bell Features Publications Ivan Kocmarek Hamilton, Ontario 148 What might be called the “First Age of Canadian Comics”1 began on a consum- mately Canadian political and historical foundation. Canada had entered the Second World War on September 10, 1939, nine days after Hitler invaded the Sudetenland and a week after England declared war on Germany. Just over a year after this, on December 6, 1940, William Lyon MacKenzie King led parliament in declaring the War Exchange Conservation Act (WECA) as a protectionist measure to bolster the Canadian dollar and the war economy in general. Among the paper products now labeled as restricted imports were pulp magazines and comic books.2 Those precious, four-colour, ten-cent treasure chests of American culture that had widened the eyes of youngsters from Prince Edward to Vancouver Islands immedi- ately disappeared from the corner newsstands. Within three months—indicia dates give March 1941, but these books were probably on the stands by mid-January— Anglo-American Publications in Toronto and Maple Leaf Publications in Vancouver opportunistically filled this vacuum by putting out the first issues of Robin Hood Comics and Better Comics, respectively. Of these two, the latter is widely considered by collectors to be the first true Canadian comic book becauseRobin Hood Comics Vol. 1 No. 1 seems to have been a tabloid-sized collection of reprints of daily strips from the Toronto Telegram written by Ted McCall and drawn by Charles Snelgrove. Still in Toronto, Adrian Dingle and the Kulbach twins combined forces to release the first issue of Triumph-Adventure Comics six months later (August 1941), and then publisher Cyril Bell and his artist employee Edmund T.

  • “More Liveable” Speculations: the Gender of SF in Margaret Atwood's
    Zagadnienia Rodzajów Literackich, LXIII, z. 1 PL ISSN 0084-4446 DOI: https://doi.org/10.26485/ZRL/2020/63.1/2 Katarzyna Ostalska University of Łódź* https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8553-7517 “More Liveable” Speculations: the Gender of SF in Margaret Atwood’s Short Story “Oursonette” and in the Comic Book / Graphic Novel War Bears Abstract Taking into account the broadness of the SF genre, the article commences with examining the difference between speculative fiction and science fiction, as outlined specifically by Donna J. Haraway and Margaret Atwood. Drawing on Atwood’s understanding of speculative genre, the paper analyses two separate but intertwined artistic forms: a classic short story with embedded dialogue and a comic book / graphic novel based upon the extended version of the earlier narrative. The short story “Oursonette” was written by Atwood as a part of a national project of artists commemorating the sesquicentennial anniversary of the Canadian Confederation. It depicts Victory in Europe Day, 8 May 1945, from the perspective of Canada and its impact upon the publishing of “Canadian whites,” otherwise known as WECA comic books. Partially black-and white War Bears (2019), referring to the tradition of “Canadian whites” comics, is a modern graphic novel, co-authored with Ken Steacy, which essentially uses the plot of Atwood’s “Oursonette” as the foundation for drawing an expanded story that precedes and follows the original. The narrative is not simply elaborated, a new dimension of visual imagery and a significant layer of intersectionality have changed its meaning to a large extent. The article analyses those alterations in detail to come to a conclusion as to whether they are beneficial or redundant to the original form and content.

  • Québécitude and the Visual Contextualization of Language In
    Alternative Francophone vol.1, 9(2016) : 136-155 http://ejournals.library.ualberta.ca/index.php/af Y a-t-il des traces du sentiment de l’identité canadienne dans la BD québécoise? Mira Falardeau Chercheure indépendante Parler de l’identité canadienne dans une forme d’expression québécoise revient à questionner les fondements de l’identité québécoise, avec toutes les oppositions, pour ne pas dire les contradictions inhérentes au propos. Notre postulat soutient que ces deux identités se recoupent, même si dans son discours, la culture québécoise se distingue habituellement par sa différence et sa fierté de l’être. Dans les faits, les deux cultures sont les plus souvent imbriquées, l’une faisant partie de l’autre, aussi bien du point de vue géo — politique que culturel. La BD, art par excellence du symbole et de la litote, a su synthétiser ces points de vue et à travers six œuvres sélectionnées chez six grands artistes de la BD québécoise, échelonnées de 1900 à nos jours, nous tentons ici d’éclairer ces tiraillements et de démontrer comment ces mouvements parfois antagonistes donnent lieu à une parole dynamique et représentative. Baptiste, le cocasse diplomate international, Onésime et les ruraux de Chartier, le super antihéros loufoque Capitaine Kébec, le Carcajou fripon amérindien de Laniel, la citadine solitaire du métro de Doucet, enfin Paul face à la société québécoise, tous à leur façon sont les chantres d’une façon de voir qui nous réunit à travers nos divergences. De notre projecteur, nous éclairerons tout d’abord leur tonalité de base. Puis, dans le sillon ainsi creusé, nous soulignerons la fibre particulière que chaque œuvre vient flatter et éventuellement, les ambiguïtés du discours de ces grandes figures de notre imaginaire collectif.

D. Cornell University 2010 This dissertation examines the role of Oberlin (the northern Ohio town and its organically connected college of the same name) in the antislavery struggle. It traces the antislavery origins and development of this Western “hot-bed of abolitionism,” and establishes Oberlin—the community, faculty, students, and alumni—as comprising the core of the antislavery movement in the West and one of the most influential and successful groups of abolitionists in antebellum America. Within two years of its founding, Oberlin’s founders had created a teachers’ college and adopted nearly the entire student body of Lane Seminary, who had been dismissed for their advocacy of immediate abolition. Oberlin became the first institute of higher learning to admit men and women of all races. America's most famous revivalist (Charles Grandison Finney) was among its new faculty as were a host of outspoken proponents of immediate emancipation and social reform.

  • Palookaville #23 Ebooks for Free
    Palookaville #23 Ebooks For Free The conclusion of Clyde Fans, the iconic cartoonist’s most famous storylineThe most anticipated issue to date of Seth’s iconic comics digest, Palookaville 23 marks the culmination of twenty years of serialization: here, Clyde Fans comes to a conclusion. In this final chapter, we return to Simon Matchcard and the year 1957―exactly where we left off at the end of the first Clyde Fans volume. After his disastrous attempt at sales in the city of Dominion, we witness the out of body experience and ecstatic “vision†that sets Simon on his path of lonely isolation in the years to come.But of course that’s not all―an issue of Palookaville always feels a bit like coming home―a comforting structure that promises new surprises and updates on old favorites. The next installment in Seth’s memoir, Nothing Lasts, follows him from late childhood to his high school years, from innocent crushes to adolescent brooding, all told with what has become Seth’s signature anecdotal approach to autobiography.Readers will also be privy to highlights of Seth’s exquisite fine-art practice―paintings and drawings from two recent gallery exhibitions which transport us back to an era where style was snappier, moldings more orate.As always, the three-part digest is carefully designed by Seth in a callback to classic 1940s textural book design. From one of Canada’s greatest artists, Palookaville 23 offers closure, while evoking excitement about what’s to come.
