Roy Peterson 1936-2013

It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of long time Vancouver Sun editorial cartoonist Roy Peterson from an heart attack on Sunday.

Herman creator Jim Unger dies at 75

"Your pulse is very, very weak!"

I met Jim Unger only once, at the 1989 National Cartoonist Society convention in Toronto.

I Don’t Want to Say Canadian Cartoonists Are Old...

J.J. McCullough on the state of Canadian editorial cartooning in Cartoon Movement.

I don’t want to say Canadian editorial cartoonists are old, but at one of our recent gatherings someone literally had to leave early to tend to his 100-year-old mother.

Portfoolio 25

A glance through these pages will illustrate how deftly Canada’s editorial cartoonists captured the essence of the issues even if they disagreed on the verdict. 
Published since 1985, the book features the highlights of the past year’s editorial cartoons with wry, breezy accompanying text to remind readers which politicians shot themselves in the foot and which tycoons fell from grace. 
As a bonus, there are photos and biographies of the cartoonists with individual examples of their work.

Mike Constable

We don't often see his work these days, but Mike Constable is one of the funniest cartoonists around.

Drawn for Union Arts Services and also published in Portfoolio 85.

Best Canadian editorial cartoons of 2010

Last December, 42 members of the Association of Canadian Editorial Cartoonists were asked to send their favourite cartoons of 2010 to president of the ACEC Terry Mosher (Aislin).

The Gazette published 8 of their submissions on their editorial page on December 28, 2010 and The Province, in Vancouver, published 6 of them the previous day.

Portfoolio 24

The annual collection highlights the past year's editorial cartoons with a wry, breezy accompanying text to remind readers which politicians shot themselves in the foot and which tycoons fell from grace. More than 250 cartoons by the best in the profession!

Portfoolio 23

After an hiatus of two years, the annual collection, now edited by Warren Clements of The Globe & Mail, highlights the past year’s editorial cartoons with a wry, breezy accompanying text to remind readers which politicians shot themselves in the foot and which tycoons fell from grace.

Portfoolio 23 (Book Review)

Bill Brownstein, The Gazette, November 15, 2009

Quebec cartoonists need only wait for politicians to hand them ideas

There was much grief and gnashing of teeth in certain quarters when Dubya sashayed out of the White House this year, and when Sarah Palin failed to make it in, with John McCain.

No, not only among the Republicans, silly. But also among editorial cartoonists.

Our vocabulary was enriched this year by expressions like “wardrobe malfunction” and “circumpolar tour” which, to our surprise, were not uttered by Conrad Black.

As you are reading this, Paul Martin could already be prime minister of Canada, Arnold Schwarzenegger could be governor of California and Saddam Hussein either dead or captured by the Americans.

A brief history of "Portfoolio"

Cover drawing by Ed Franklin

Portfoolio was born in the summer of 1985 when McClelland & Stewart, which had published two previous collections of Canadian editorial cartoons in 1983 and 1984, decided not to renew the experience.

A publisher was found in Montreal (Croc Publishing) and Portfoolio 85: The Year in Canadian Caricature saw the light that fall.
