FISHER

A humourous cartoon strip created by Philip Street which has appeared in the Globe and Mail from June 26, 1992 to September 8, 2012. It began running four days a week, alternating with Warren Clements’ “Nestlings”. About a year and a half later it began appearing six days a week and has continued this frequency since. It is exclusive to the Globe and Mail.

Fisher began as an unemployed English major in his mid-twenties trying to get his life started. Over the next two decades he moved into a shared household in Toronto, eventually got a job as a writer in an advertising agency, fell in love with Alison, got married, bought a house and started a family.

Although “Fisher” is a kind of alter ego to Street sharing Street’s opinions and sensibilities and some of his experiences in general terms, it is not strictly autobiographical.

FEYER George

                            Maclean’s, 15 June 1954: 83.

He was born on February 18, 1921 in Budapest Hungry. About age 15 years, he began submitting cartoons to magazines and newspapers. He illustrated books and worked in animation. He was paid adult rates and earned a living. In 1939 World War Two began and there followed horrific experiences that left him traumatized for the rest of his life. In 1946, he escaped Hungry now controlled by the communists and walked to Vienna where he surrendered to British forces.

In 1948 he arrived in Toronto knowing only a smattering of English. He changed the spelling of his name from Fejer to Feyer, the way it was pronounced. He got a job in a quilt factory and began cartooning again. In 1949 he sold his first cartoons to Maclean’s magazine and his work appeared there for about fifteen years. He expanded to the Toronto Star, the Globe and Mail, Colliers, Punch and many others. By 1951 he was making enough money from his cartoons to quit his job in the quilt factory.

He became a television personality. The CBC noting his quick cartooning skills hired him for live programs. First during children’s shows he moved on to “The Midnight Club” hosted by Pierre Berton, and the “Wayne and Shuster Show”. In 1955, he did a high profile gig on “Hockey Night in Canada”. By the 1960’s he had become a celebrity cartoonist.

He moved to Los Angeles in 1965 where his income doubled but he found it “… superficial, heartless and insane.” He committed suicide 31 March 1967.
