HETHERINGTON Janet

She was a graduate of Carleton University’s school of journalism.

Hetherington met Ron Sutton at a comics convention. She was carrying with her a sketch for which she needed a skilled artist to complete. She approached Ron and asked him to finish it. He agreed and out of this first encounter blossomed a romance and a partnership.

She and Ron created a humorous cartoon strip based partly on themselves called “Jannie Weezie” which appeared in the Ottawa Citizen in 1994. They also created a dark character called “Spinnerette”

In addition to those listed below, she has worked on titles: Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, Honey West/Kolchak the Night Stalker and Love In Tights.
