One for the Nipper
:: Posted by Bryan @ 9/11/2006 12:41:00 AM Journalist and Wright Awards honcho Brad Mackay has pulled off a stellar bit of promotion for Thursday's Doug Wright Awards event --he's written an article about Doug Wright for the Ottawa Citizen! The piece reveals many interesting tidbits of biographical information about Wright, the creator of the pantomime strip Nipper (later called Doug Wright's Family), including the fact that Nipper debuted before Wright had any children of his own or was even married.
Mackay also talks about his earliest encounters with Wright's work:
"My earliest memory of the strip goes back to the first time I picked up a small, mail-order collection of Doug Wright's Family strips nearly 30 years ago [...] This strip, along with most of the ones included inside the book, are so well-drawn and well-observed that over the years I confused them with my own childhood experiences."
