Downtime

I'm sure there will be lots of down time over the next few weeks at Sequential but here are a few midweek links concerning comics in Canada:

-The Globe and Mail catches up with Whistler cartoonist Ian Verchere. Vachere drew a strip called "Localman" in the 1970s.

-another local hero, Acadieman, gets his own dvd, according to this CBC profile.

-The Tyee recommends Joe Ollman's "This Will All End in Tears" as its Christmas graphic novel buy.

-The Star's Michael Hanlon calls Guy Delisle's Shenzhen: A Travelogue from China, "a delight" in a similar wrap-up of holiday travel books.

-Francisco M. Rosa has announced that the Shuster Awards is again considering non-English-lannguage comics and that books seeking nominations should be forwarded to him as he is the nomination judge responsible for what he calls quebecois comics (but I'm sure he will also consider French-language comics that are not quebecois :) ). Call for submissions posted at the BDQuebec forums
