-- Cartoon CanadaBy Aislin2012., Adult, Linda Leith Pub. Call No: GN 741.5971 M911c Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: The idea for this collection came from a conversation I had with the great Russian cartoonist Oleg Dergachov, who now lives in Montreal. Oleg told me of a Moscow cartoonist who, on his deathbed, asked that one of his favourite cartoons be engraved on his headstone. rather than the usual text. Apparently a group of colleagues now gather annually and toast their former friend over his unique gravestone with a glass of vodka or two.The anecdote poses a question of any cartoonist: What cartoon have you drawn to date that you would most like to be remembered for? So I asked all the political cartoonists now working right across Canada that very question and then to send me their favourites for this book. This book then is a snapshot of contemporary Canadian concerns and attitudes some quite controversial as illustrated through the wit and wisdom of our cartoonists. Given the variety of styles and points of view, this collection is proof that Canadian cartoonists working right across the land are very, very good at what they do. (from editor, Terry Mosher).

2013., Adult, Signal Call No: 305.5 M122t Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "A hilarious catalog of the absurdly extravagant lifestyles, impossibly glamorous escapes, and pet projects of North America's one percenters. From fiberglass Baobab tree houses in the foothills of the Rockies with machine-gun ports at every level, to a four-star open-air restaurant precariously balanced atop the leafy rainforests of the Amazon basin, longtime friends and mutual fans McCall and Letterman have created an Architectural Digest-style satire of the (obscenely) rich and famous. Featuring beautiful hand-painted illustrations in McCall's inimitable style and the brilliantly caustic wit of both authors, This Land takes you on a dizzying tour of vacation homes and resorts at once utterly ridiculous and eerily plausible. Bruce McCall is a Canadian expatriate who began writing and painting humorous subjects in the seventies. He lives in New York City. David Letterman is an American television host"--Provided by publisher.
