TOWNSEND Jean
TOWNSEND Jean (Married Name Townsend-Field)
Born 23 July 1921 in Toronto.
She attended the Ontario College Of Art from 1938 to 1941 after winning a four year scholarship. She studied with Arthur Lismer, Franklin Carmichael and Nicholas Hornyansky. She graduated and in 1942 won the Governor General’s Academic Medal.
It appears she began working at Anglo-American Publishing Ltd. Even while she was still going to OCA. She became good friends with Jean McMaster, and it is from McMaster we learn the details about the legend of Harold Town’s involvement with Anglo-American. Jean was going out with Harold while both were attending the Ontario College of Art, and Townsend suggested to Town that he get a summer job at Anglo-American. He did but his career was quite short as he was fired for “improving” on Captain Marvel.
Jean’s principal love was drawing, painting and sculpture her themes being figures and landscapes. However, she and her husband Saul Field, also developed the Compotina method of printmaking and she achieved international success as a print maker. She was inspired by mythological and literary themes, and illustrated a book of Irish folklore collected by W.B. Yeats and titled Celtic Twilight. It was a reprint published by Colin Smythe in 1981, of the original published in 1893.
She was a teacher and fellow at Calumet College of York University. She cofounded with her husband the Upstairs Gallery and with Archie Arbuckle the Ontario College of Art Alumni Association.
She died 5 January 2006, in Sharbot Lake, Ontario.
Because of Anglo-American’s industrial approach to cartooning and its policy of not acknowledging artists it is impossible to identify any of Jean’s cartooning work. Sufficient to say that Anglo-American provided a vital bridge during the difficult war years for emerging visual artists like Jean Townsend, June Banfield, Patricia Hutchings Jean McMaster, and Doris Slater between learning skills and practicing them.

ODDVILLE
ODDVILLE
Jay Stephen’s first published effort was the cartoon strip “Oddville” which appeared in the alternative newspapers, Motive, Guelph, Voice Montréal, Nu-City, Albuquerque, Mad Planet, New York, and The Stranger, Seattle. The strips were collected into Oddville: The Complete Strips, published July 1996 by Art Ick Productions, of Guelph. It was later reprinted by Oni Press and Adhouse Books.
“Oddville” as the name suggests is the portrait of a community of characters rather than any individual character. As one would expect from a strip the stories are episodic . The large variety of characters are introduced through “Flying Baby” a human looking baby but with yellow skin, pointed ears and a tab on its head. It can also fly and is indestructible.
In the opening episodes, prepubescent “Tod Johnson” kisses prepubescent “Melanie McKay”. Suddenly the “Flying Baby” appears. The kids assume they have created the baby and it will ruin their lives. The baby however, flies away. “Melanie” changes into “JetCat” and pursues it, but immediately disappears. She will reappear later to save “Flying Baby”. From this point we are introduced to a succession of characters through their reactions to “Flying Baby”: These include the three members of the grunge-rock band “The Creeps” who try to kill it, the local constable, and the “Radio-Controlled Robot”. who kills the “Creeps” whose members later reappear as zombies hanging out in Slumberville Cemetery. The “Baby” encounters the street cat “Kyle” and “Tod Johnson’s” pet cat Nelson who try unsuccessfully to eat it, “Melissa”, “Tod’s sister”, and her friend “Trixie”, “Gargantua Monkey” and an assorted collection of other towns people. Jay then settles down to portraying a series of episodes among these characters at times without the presence of the “Flying Baby”. . The series ends with “Tod’s” mother adopting “Flying Baby” into their family, and as Melissa says “We’re living happily ever after.” Although, the visual aspects of the story belie this.
For the next couple of years, “Oddville” disappeared from Jay’s creative world as he pursed other characters and stories in SIN Comics and The Land of Nod. Then in 1997, Dark Horse Comics took over the “Land of Nod” title but replaced the “Land of Nod” contents with a new “Oddville” story. The community nature of “Oddville” disappeared. “JetCat” became the central character and the story largely devolves into a child superhero tale around a conflict where “JetCat” verses “Radio-Controlled Robot” and “Gargantua Monkey”.
Even the “Oddville” episodes are essentially a Canadian looking at and mocking American attitudes and sentiments and so it is not a big jump for The Land of Nod featuring JetCat, to become simply another American style superhero story. Only one issue of this periodical appeared. Jay Stephens went on to other creative endeavours.

NOAKES William
Morning Leader, 27 September 1919.
Born 1871 in England. He and his wife immigrated to Canada in 1902. In 1911 they and their three sons were living in Ottawa, apparently he was employed as an editor.
He cartooned for the The Morning Leader [Regina] as early as 1913, then replaced John McNaughton, in 1914. He worked as both a cartoonist and illustrator. His cartoons were intermittent during the war but according to Lisa Henderson was relevant because it looked at the war from a local perspective. He lent his services to a Victory Bond loan drive suggesting his community commitment. In early 1919 he began “Weeklorama”. a weekly horizontal strip of individual cartoons across the bottom of the front page.
He left in September 1919 to accept a position with the Canadian press in Winnipeg. Shortly after he moved to the Brandon Sun where he stayed for 25 years eventually becoming the senior editor.

“Tad”, a logo for Taddle Creek magazine came into existence through a collaboration between Editor Ian Tobias and Illustrator Ian Phillips. He made his first appearance on the title page of Taddle Creek Christmas 2002. His cover appearance on issue 19, Christmas 2007, marked a fundamental change in magazine policy. From this point all Taddle Creek covers feature the work of cartoonists and illustrators rather than photographs. Tad’s function expanded and he now appears on the “Ephemera” and other section heads, and for advertising. He was drawn by Ian till issue 28, Summer 2012 after which Hartley Lin took over. “Tad” has appeared on covers drawn by Ian Phillips and Hartley Lin. Recently Nathan Campagnaro made a model of him for the cover of Taddle Creek, 45, Summer 2020.

Migrated to Canada as a child.
He has earned a Diploma in Design & Illustration from the Ontario College of Design & Illustration University and a Degree in Classical Animation from Sheridan College.
He has used drawing to help him make sense of his surroundings.
“… I’ve been fascinated by the intersection of fine and popular art forms searching for the weird outliers that fuse both sides of the spectrum …”
“The System” was this artist’s first attempt at combining writing and illustration.
“It is loosely centred on the lives of a group of friends, not unlike the people I’ve known, particularly musicians, artists, and other ‘creative weirdos’ observed fumbling around for meaning around, in, and under Toronto.”
