HUNTER Samuel

“In his prime Mr. Hunter was considered one of the outstanding cartoonists in Canada.”                                                                                                                            Toronto Evening Telegram, 8 Dec.1939 “Obituary”.

He was born at Millbrook Ontario, March 3, 1858.

As a young man he travelled west and produced a series of prints on Indian and western life.

In the late 1870’s he produced editorial cartoons for Bengough’s Grip. William Colgate described him as the most capable of the artists around Bengough.

He moved to the Toronto World News in 1897 where he stayed for almost 20 years. His daily cartoons were particularly critical of the Laurier government. During World War 1 he moved to the Globe where his cartoons focused on the Conscription Crisis and continued to be critical of Laurier and also of Quebec. He created a character called “Old Man Ontario”.

After the war he joined the Toronto Daily Star. Whimsical and gentle he was Atkinson’s [owner of the Toronto Daily Star] favourite because as Atkinson said: “there is no venom in his work.” [D5] Although he left the Star after 18 months he continued to contribute to it for another 35 years.

He died at home 156 Springhurst Avenue in Toronto, December 8, 1939.

“My favourite cartoon is always the next one.”                                                            The Hecklers: 239.

Born 1926, in St. Cyrille de la Salle Québec.

He attended l’Ecole des Beaux-Arts, then on a scholarship studied art in Paris France. He returned to Canada and became a teacher at l’Ecole des Beaux-Arts. At the same time he established himself as a sculptor.

In 1956, Le Soleil was looking for an editorial cartoonist and approached the school’s director for a recommendation. Hunter got the job. His style was that of the European school of simple line cartooning. He won two National Newspaper Awards, one in 1958 and one in 1967. He began working for Le Soleil in 1969. Because of the pressure of drawing eight cartoons a week for Le Soleil and its regional editions, and sculpting, he gave up teaching in the same year.

In 1970, because of his criticism of the FLQ acts during the October Crisis, he and his editor were publicly condemned by the members of the journalists’ union at Le Soleil. He insisted on his right to make his own judgments of events and continued his cartooning.

In 1989, he gave up cartooning and concentrated on sculpting.

HSU Peter

                                                Adventurers, 6, June 1987: 32.

Born in Johannesburg South Africa.

It appears that Peter entered the Toronto cartooning scene by working on publications like Ron Van Leeuwen’s Andromeda and James Waley’s Orb.

Then circa 1983 he created “Hellrazor”. Emulating Dave Sim, he organized Quadrant Publications and launched Quadrant as a vehicle for his creation. A Tara Balance was credited as the writer but there was a rumor that Peter actually wrote the novella himself but credited it to a female to make it more acceptable. Peter supplemented the main feature with back up stories produced by himself and from a variety of cartoonists, illustrators and writers from Toronto and Montréal.

About the same time, he became involved with American black & white entrepreneur Steve Milo of Adventure Publications. He illustrated the first issue of The Adventures, both cover and content and recommended Ron Kasman for the lettering. Probably due to the pressures of Quadrant he reduced his commitment in The Adventurers to illustrating covers. He probably recommended Kent Burles to do the contents.

Late in 1986, Dave Darrigo was collaborating with Ron Hobbs on a mystery crime fighter idea that would become “The Snake”. Peter wanted to expand his company’s magazine line and since Dave had established himself with Wordsmith, Peter approached him to come up with a concept for a new periodical. Dave saw it as an opportunity to proceed with “The Snake” idea. Dave and Ron worked on it for the next year. Then a setback, with the black and white comics market crumbling Peter Hsu had to cut back his operations leaving the project without a publisher. Dave and Ron pressed on and finished illustrating the story and painting the cover and Dave became the publisher. Dave had contracted Peter to do an origin story for the villainess Madame Joy which was to be included as a flashback episode within “The Snake”. Dave wanted to include a different style of drawing for this episode to contrast it to the main story. Peter completed this assignment and The Snake was published under the Special Studio imprint.

In 1987, Peter’s other creation “Elfwarrior” was published by Adventures Publications. Peter did the first two issues but then for issue 3 the writing went to D. Greenburg and the  pencils to Franc Reyes. Issue 3 was the last issue. This character actually appeared first in a story “A Prolong To Elfwarrior which appeared in The Adventurers 1.

Peter moved to Victoria British Columbia sometime in 1988 and disappeared from the cartooning scene.
