Deft and dangerous
:: Posted by Bryan @ 8/24/2006 03:29:00 AM The featured subject of a recent CBC documentary and co-author of the best book on Canadian cartooning (The Hecklers), political cartoonist Aislin (aka Terry Mosher --do single-named cartoonist ever get tired of having their names discussed by media? Seth? Moebius? Baru?) has been profiled by several newspapers this week:
The Montreal Gazette/National Post ran an article covering the production of the doc: ""I'm a cartoonist. I sit down and draw and - boom - it's done. So I'd ask him, 'Why am I walking up and down this street?'"
More:
"Mosher's work has been published in newspapers and magazines, including Maclean's and Time, plus dozens of books. His latest book, What Next? (McArthur and Company), will be in bookstores in October, as will Mordecai's Montreal (Madison), edited by David Macfarlane and illustrated by Mosher.
CBC's Rex Murphy once said, "Aislin is vivid, steely and fierce. His cartoons are a diary of every folly and controversy that has meshed with the sad Canadian consciousness over the past three decades."
(the doc is being rerun on CBC Newsworld: Thursday August 24 at 10 p.m. ET)
