“To me, it’s supremely important that the faces fit the situation exactly. It’s not  just enough to have everyone smiling. The caption is not the joke. The situation is the joke and the drawing should be setup like a movie director sets up a scene.”

“What I draw aren’t really jokes, you know, just exaggerations of real things. The art is to illustrate some facet of every day existence that people never come to grips with.”                                                                                                                James Unger (Maclean’s)

James Frederick Unger, cartoonist (b London, Eng 21 Jan 1937). Creator of the off-beat comic character “Herman,” Jim Unger dropped out of grammar school in England when he was 16 years old and sold insurance policies before serving for two years in the British Army. He was a police officer, repo man and an advertising layout artist before he immigrated to Toronto in 1968.

Jim Unger was the art director for The Mississauga Times when he came up with the idea for a cheerful oaf, a sort of bumbling blue-collar Everyman which he initially called “Attila The Bum.” He was named “Cartoonist of the Year” by the Ontario Weekly Newspaper Association for three successive years.

Encouraged by friends he began to submit his work to syndicates. First, Unger tried to syndicate his cartoon character through The Toronto Star. It was rejected. In 1974 He submitted it to the Universal Press Syndicate in Kansas City, Missouri, who offered him a 10 year contract. They changed the strip’s name to “Herman.” Although Unger insisted there was not one but a variety of characters.

Its success was overwhelming. “Herman” began in 20 newpapers by April 1979 it was in more than 250 in Canada, the U.S.A. and seven other countries. In 1982 Unger was named the “Best Syndicated Cartoonist” by the National Cartoonists Society. Later “Herman” had an estimated 40 million readers in 25 countries, and a collection of 4000 cartoons is available on CD-ROM. “Herman” was the first cartoon syndicated in a Communist country in 1990 when it was sold to a newspaper in East Germany.

Jim Unger left Canada for the Bahamas in 1984 and retired from cartooning in 1992. “For some reason I get more fan mail than ever,” he said after his retirement. He occasionally updates old cartoons and is said to be creating new material but draws now only when he feels like it. “I doubt I will ever work as a cartoonist full-time again.” he said in 1998. He teamed up with 6 other syndicated cartoonists, including Farcus creator David Waisglass, plus Universal Press Syndicate to create INTRACA in 2001. INTRACA was an intranet feature that used humorous cartoons and motivational quotes to inform and boost employee morale with positive daily messages.

He moved to Saanich British Columbia about 2000. He died May 29, 2012 after a lengthy illness in his residence at Saanich British Columbia. He was survived by two daughters, Karen Gooda and Jenny Hopkins and four grandchildren.

R. MacGregor reported that Toronto cartoonist Ted Martin creator of “Pavlov” thought: “Jim Unger is among the top half dozen cartoonists in the English language. …It is a new type of humour. It’s very sarcastic, very black.”

“His cartoons about racial or social discrimination have all the subtlety  of a mugging. Middle-class cartoonists dealing with the same subjects often  take refuge in heavy symbolism. Uluschak uses a bare-fisted approach inspired by a gut reaction rather than a political or moral position …”                                            Desbarates Peter & Mosher Terry, The Hecklers, 182.

He was born 1943 near Prosperity Alberta where his parents settled on a homestead after imigrating from Poland. The family moved into a tough immigrant’s district in Edmonton when he was 10 years old.

He had no formal art training after high school, but began freelancing in the Edmonton area doing illustrations and working for a trade magazine publisher. Some of his first cartoons appeared in The Roughneck. In 1968, he replaced Yardley Jones as editorial cartoonist at the Journal [Edmonton] when the latter left for Toronto.

He won National Newspaper Awards for 1969 and 1971. He also won the Basil Dean Memorial Award for Outstanding Contributions To Journalism. His work has appeared in exhibitions in Greece, Bulgaria, Japan, Poland, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Italy and Germany.

His work was syndicated to more than a hundred newspapers and magazines including Punch, Time, U.S. News And World Report, and The National Review.

KULBACH René

KULBACH René

The brother of Andre Kulbach, he was born in Russia (Estonia) in 1908 and lived in the Crimea on the Black Sea as a young man. After the Russian Revolution he lived in Germany for three years then in Latvia for five. He was a self taught painter. From about five years old he began drawing animals which were his favourite subject. Much of his experience was gained sketching in the Zoological Gardens in Stuttgart, Frankfurt-on-Main and Hamburg. It was an excellent preparation for his subsequent cartoon creation “Tang”.

April 2, 1928 he moved to Canada and travelled extensively: harvesting, fruit-picking, cow punching, painting and sketching. In 1936 he established a studio in Toronto and became part of a well known colony of writers and artists living and working on Granville Street. During this time he painted “beautiful” murals on the massive ceiling of the Crystal Ballroom in Toronto’s Royal York Hotel.

When World War 2 broke out he co-founded Hillborough Studio with his brother André, Adrian Dingle and an investor. It seemed a natural extension of his sketching practice in the zoological gardens of Germany, that his contributions to Triumph Adventure Comics should be cartooning “Out Of The Woods” and illustrating “Tang” the story of a horse. Adrian Dingle in a 1973 interview said of him, “René was extremely good at drawing animals … He was fantastic”.

When Hillborough merged with Bell Features late in 1941 Kulbach moved to the new company and now cartooned “Tang”. Indeed his name became synonymous with this feature which he seems to have cartooned to the end of the war suggesting that he continued to produce for Bell even when he was in the R.C.A. F. He took over “Dixon Of The Mounted” from T.A. Steele and continued it till he joined the R.C.A.F.

As the war continued Kulbach joined the R.C.A.F. Service Police and was stationed at Trenton Air Force Base. There, in his leisure time he began painting a mural in the Sergeant’s Mess keeping the work in progress hidden behind sheets until in early 1944 the members were astounded to see the east end wall filled with what Kulbach called “The Procession of the Goddess of Plenty”. The Goddess was carried by a golden carriage loaded with fruits and vegetables and accompanied by Bacchus the God of Wine and merriment astride a donkey and Pan, God of the Marshes and Friend of Wild Creatures. Centaurs and other creatures completed the gigantic mural.

This was the first painted by Kulbach at the base. Another mural, interpreted the story of Canada from prehistoric times to Confederation and covered the walls of the stairways leading up to the Library above the airmen’s mess. Yet another showed Indians attacking a covered wagon and was located in the Wintergarden section of the Sports Hanger.

In addition he illustrated a story about the town of Trenton depicting its lumber industry in the late 1800’s and the little known film industry located in the town in the early 1900’s. This was published in the Air Base’s newspaper Contact. He also produced a full page illustration in Contact’s VE Day edition which depicted the part the station played in achieving victory over the Axis.

He was discharged from Trenton in 1945. In Joke Comics 23, Bell Features reporting on all the Bell staff who were being released from the armed services and were returning to the company stated: “R.C.A.F. SPECIAL POLICE – Rene is the poster and mural artist of the Air Force. He also speaks [m] any of the European languages [7]. René has carried on his strips “Tang” and “Dixon of the Mounted” all through the war and most of the time under VERY difficult conditions. His latest effort is “Out of the Woods” a very clever animal strip.” This was the first time “Out of the Woods” appeared under the Bell banner.

In 1948 he painted another large mural in the waiting room in Sunnybrook Hospital. He died in the 1950’s.

KYLE J. Fergus

KYLE James Fergus

He usually signed “Fergus Kyle”

Born in 1876 in Hamilton Ontario.

He was a teenaged reporter with The News [Toronto]. He later became a cartoonist and news illustrator for the Globe [Toronto]. He also worked as a parliamentary reporter. At the turn of the century, his work appeared in Canadian Magazine, The Courier, and Saturday Night, and a humour magazine The Moon.

Kyle was unusual among Toronto cartoonists being a Liberal and strong supporter of Laurier. He drew several campaign posters for the party. When Borden came to power, Kyle became a strong critic of Borden’s policies.

He enlisted in 1916 and served in an artillery unit, where he suffered a foot injury during World War 1.

He later moved to The Toronto Star. His paintings in A Picture History of Canada suggests he was also comfortable painting in oils and was perhaps a book illustrator.

He died in 1941.
