Cartooning Calamities! 1 ã McCord Museum, 2012 Introduction The history of humanity is punctuated by all sorts of calamities: predicted disasters that never happen, cataclysms that take people by surprise and destroy their lives, wars that devastate whole countries, trifling misfortunes raised to the level of catastrophe to add a little spice to life. Whether amusing or tragic, calamities present a challenge to cartoonists who interpret current events. They offer a chance to demonstrate the aesthetic potential and dramatic power of editorial illustration, and to show that the cartoon, though an art of the everyday, can also touch upon the universal. This exhibition, which focuses on events that occurred in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, presents original works by sixteen Quebec cartoonists. All are drawn from the McCord Museum’s collection of cartoons, which is the second largest in Canada. 1 – The end of the world in 2012 According to one interpretation of the ancient Mayan calendar, the year 2012 will mark a turning point in the history of humanity: on the 21st day of the 12th month the world will come to an end! The Museum has invited nine cartoonists to produce a work inspired by this prediction. The Mayan calendar and Canadian current events Now symbolic of a calamity it is hard to take seriously, the Mayan calendar has begun to appear in the editorial illustrations of a number of cartoonists.

Armed conflicts, for example, destroy worlds sometimes permanently. In times of war, cartoonists display the full range of their editorial vocation. Their drawings can take the form of journalistic reports or exposés, they may express anger or dismay, they might offer ironic commentary or aim for cool detachment. Some even express … silence. 2.1 World War II 1939-1945 During the 1930s, the rise of Italian fascism and the Nazi movement in Germany led directly to the outbreak of the most widespread armed conflict in human history – the Second World War. In Canada, the figure of Hitler served as one of the main symbols of enemy forces. The Destructive Nazi and Italian Worms at the Roots A. G.

  • 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).

    BOOK REVIEW Randall P. Harrison The Cartoon: Communication to the Quick (Beverly Hills, CA: Sage Publications, 1981). Peter Desbarats and Terry Mosher The Hecklers: A History of Canadian Political Cartooning and a Cartoonists History of Canada o or onto: McClelland and Stewart, 1979). Reviewed by Andrew Osler School of Journalism University of Western Ontario A substantive error in undergraduate essay writing almost as common as the use of "media" as a singular noun, is the notion that these media come in two distinct and forever separated phyla : "Print" and "Visual. 'I Television and the cinema, with their parades of eyeball icons and background miasmas of aural associations, constitute the "visual" media in the popular imagination. Print, on the other hand, tends to be popu- larly perceived as something else, (though pre- cisely what is never entirely clear). Ekposure over time to the ideas of the semiotics theor- ists, perhaps to McLuhan , or to the powerful imagery of James Joyce, eventually creates at least an intellectual awareness of the powerful- ly visual abstract symbolism that is always potentially present in the printed language. Even this belated recognition rarely is extended with any enthusiasm to the associated devices of design, typography, and graphics , however, and at some subconscious level, the entire inapprop- riate undergraduate distinction between print and visual remains in tact. It even has a way of unconsciously lingering on into the agendas of mature communication scholarship. Simply put, newspapers and magazines are not culturally perceived as being visual. Research in these media, therefore, remains pre- dominantly, with some rare and honourable excep- tions, the business of investigating the infor- mational content of words, sentences, and other grammatical paraphernalia.
