“Working in both countries, I see a great deal of cartooning produced in both Canada and the States. I would have to say that the Canadian cartoonists have a definite edge when it comes to quality.” The Hecklers: 253.

Born 1947 in Vancouver.

In the 1960’s he contributed to Georgia Straight and other Vancouver publications. For three years he worked on fishing boats on the B.C. coast in order to raise enough money to open a commercial art studio with a friend in Vancouver in 1972.

Encouraged by Roy Peterson he began cartooning full time again in 1975, with his work appearing regularly in the Sun [Vancouver], Vancouver Magazine, Books in Canada and The Canadian Magazine. By 1977 he was also working regularly for the San Francisco Chronicle. With that paper he syndicated a feature called “Faces” which consisted of caricatures of well-known Canadian and American politicians.

PURPLE RIDER

PURPLE RIDER

“The Purple Rider” first appeared in Three Aces, 3-8, September 1944 at the same time that “Commander Steel”, “Dr. Destine” and “Red Rover” first appeared in Grand Slam Comics.

Jack Calder conceived this character after reading Zane Grey’s Riders of the Purple Sage.

The story, as told by a hermit, begins with father and adult son driving across the desert in an old Ford. They came from back East. The mother had died and so the father sold the farm, bought a pure bred racing horse and called his son home from college so they could move west and start a new life, not the old west but the west of the early twentieth century.. While the Ford is stopped to cool down two outlaws try to steal the horse and in the process kill the father and leave the son to die. He is found by the hermit telling the story and saved. He goes after the outlaws and his horse, “Pard” finds the horse captures the outlaws and hands them over to the sheriff. When asked what his name is, he replies call me “The Purple Rider” and rides “off into the twilight of the purple desert” shouting “Scramble Pard, Tally-Ho-o-o”.

PUNKINHEAD

PUNKINHEAD

Punkinhead’s creation began when Eaton’s asked its employees to come up with a Christmas idea for the store to promote. Apparently an animal mascot was suggested. Eaton’s then approached Winnipegger Charles Thorson to design a character and “Punkinhead” was the result. Punkinhead appeared not only in the Eaton’s Santa Claus parades in various cities but also in parades mounted by the civic groups in other communities.

Punkinhead was introduced in the story Punkinhead: The Sad Little Bear. He lived in the forest called “Bear-Land” but he was different. Unlike the other bears, he had a large tuft of blond hair on the top of his head. Because of this difference he was laughed at, called Punkinhead and ostracized and so very lonely and sad. Nothing he did could get rid of this tuft. Just before a Christmas when Santa, the fairies, gnomes and elves, on their way to from the North Pole to Toyland (Eaton’s) they stopped for a visit and honey soda drinks at Bear Land. One of the clowns who was very important part of Santa’s Big Parade drank to many honey sodas and got a “tummy ache”. What to do? The Fairy Queen suggested that one of the bears take the clown’s special place in the parade. All of the bears tried to fill the role but the clown’s hat kept falling off each bears head. “’If only bears didn’t have such smooth heads on top’, said Jack Frost, ‘then the hat would stay on. Couldn’t the Fairy Queen wave her magic wand and make a lock of hair …? That would fix it…? The bears immediately remembered ‘Punkinhead, went to the other side of the forest where he was sitting and brought him back. The hat fit perfectly, and Punkinhead became an important part in the Santa Claus Parade (Eaton’s) in 1948, and was a regular feature thereafter.

He became much more than an addition to the parade. Each year following the first “Punkinhead” story, Eaton’s issued a booklet with another story gratis to the children visiting Toyland. Additional booklets were published and a whole range of merchandise, including wrist watches, clothing, furniture, decorator plates, toys became available.

In 1951, Bill Isbister, a prominent musician, conductor, arranger and songwriter based in Toronto, wrote “The Punkinhead Song” based on the original story. The sheet music was published by B.M.I. Canada Ltd. The recording presumably by Isbister sold 10,000 copies in the week before Christmas and 28000 in the three weeks after Christmas. It was later picked up by Wilf Carter for Victor, Ray Hetherington for Columbia, and Bill Long and His Ranch Girls (National Barn Dance program) for Capitol.

Part of the lyrics are: “No smile was on his [clown’s] face. They tried his hat on everyone, but none could take his place. Then, up stepped Punkinhead to try, and much to his delight, the mop of hair just held it there, the hat it fit just right. Now Punkinhead is having fun, he’s happy as can be.”

In 2003, the Punkinhead stuffed bears made by Merrythought Hygienic Toys of England from 1948 into the 1960’s were selling for between $1200 and $1500 with one Japanese collector paying $5000 U.S.

PUNCH IN CANADA

PUNCH IN CANADA

On January 1, 1849 the first edition of Punch in Canada was published by John Henry Walker, an eighteen year old designer and wood engraver. It was the first magazine in Canada to publish political cartoons on a regular basis. Walker drew a full page cartoon for each biweekly issue. Within months it claimed a circulation of 3000. In 1850 the offices were moved to Toronto where the magazine went weekly. It ceased publication within a year and less than two years after it began.

It was inspired by Punch which began in London England in 1841. In 1843, it published a satirical drawing of a ragged crowd inspecting crowds or sketches of work commissioned to decorate the Houses of Parliament. The work was entitled “Cartoon No. 1”. This was the beginning of the word “cartoon” for editorial drawings.
