PIOTROWSKI Laura

Her illustrations appeared in Canadian Children’s Annuals in the last half of the 1970’s. She was quite versatile in her techniques employing drawings, white on black, water colour and drawing and colour. As well as Laura Urquhart she illustrated “Susan Super Sleuth” written by William Ettridge an ex R.A.F. pilot who migrated to Canada and settled in Hamilton. To Susan Super Sleuth, she brought a quite different visual style from Laura Urquhart.

PINDAL Kaj

Pendal’s reputation rests on animated films like The Peep Show, I know an old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly and What on Earth: all of which were made while he was at the National Film Board. His What on Earth! (1966) was an abstract view of a world populated by cars. His work on director Terence Macartney-Filgate’s The Hottest Show on Earth dealt with the energy crisis of the 1970’s.

He was born in Denmark to a painter father who did renaissance style landscapes. His first love was comic books but as a young artist working for an advertising agency, he snuck out of work to watch movies where he discovered animated shorts. Following every feature was a cartoon. One day Norman McLaren’s Fiddle Dee Dee replaced the usual Popeye short. When the lights came up one patron jumped up and demanded his money back. A man next to him jumped up and declared it was the best thing he had ever seen. Suddenly everyone was arguing about the film’s merits. “From that time forward, I became very interested in the [films] of the NFB.” Pindal said. (48)

Pindal learned animation under David Hind a Walt Disney director who had been lured to Britain by the promises of J. Arthur Rank Inc. that did not materialize. Hind was invited to Copenhagen by Pindal and other Danish artists to learn animation. Pindal’s first contract was an information film about marine diesel engines for the German shipping company Burmeister and Wain. This film landed him a job in Canada with the NFB where his first film was for the RCAF on jet engines. However, his sense of humour led to films like I know an old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly which was based on Canadian folk singer Alan Mill’s song..

Pindal became a core instructor at Sheridan College.

PIER Roland

I consider myself quite lucky to be a caricaturist and not a painter… I’m colour-blind.”                                                                                                                              The Hecklers: 248.

Born 1936 in France.

He immigrated to Canada in 1960 and travelled extensively throughout the country and held various jobs, but cartooned only as a hobby. In 1962, in Montréal, he began doing freelance work for several publications including La Patrie. Eventually, he was hired by Le Journal de Montréal as an editorial cartoonist. His cartoons also appeared in Le Journal de Québec. According to The Hecklers (1979) he was the most widely read cartoonist in the province.

“Like Girerd and Berthio, he uses a simple European style that is incisive and quickly understandable.” 248.
