Hamilton cartoonist Roy Carless is profiled in this Hamilton Spectator article archived at the Association of Canadian Editorial Cartoonists website. The one-eyed, 86-year-old firebrand has just published a book collecting his work as a labour cartoonist. Carless has been an assembly-line worker, union organizer, and editorial-page mainstay during his varied career. His most prolific period was 1970-86 but he was in a car accident in 1990, losing an eye and the ability to draw. He snapped out of it in 2003 and has been back at the drawing board ever since. The book chronicles his growth as a cartoonist, tutelage under Duncan Macpherson and encounters with his famous subject matter, including Lyndon Johnson.
