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.

HERMAN

While Art Director at the Mississauga Times in Ontario, James Unger created a cheerful oaf, a sort of bumbling blue-collar “everyman” which he called “Attila The Bum.” For this creation Unger was named “Cartoonist of the Year” by the Ontario Weekly Newspaper Association for three successive years.

He tried to syndicate his cartoon character through The Toronto Star, but it was rejected. In 1974 He submitted it to the Universal Press Syndicate in Kansas City, U.S.A., who offered him a 10 year contract. They changed the strip’s name to “Herman”, although Unger insisted the series was not about one but a variety of characters.

It began in 20 newspapers, and, by April 1979, it was in more than 250 in Canada, the U.S.A. and seven other countries. In 1982, it was syndicated in 300 newspapers. Later “Herman” had an estimated 40 million readers in 25 countries. In 1990, It was the first cartoon syndicated in a Communist country when it was sold to a newspaper in East Germany.

Jim Unger retired from cartooning in 1992, and the feature stopped. However, on 7 July 1997, both Unger and “Herman reappeared in the Expositor [Brantford] under the banner United Media. The new feature was a mixture of old cartoons and new work. Unger died 29 May 2012.
