Kyoto Accord


Last week the Canadian Minister of the Enviroment, Rona Ambrose, went to some environmental summit in Africa. She was criticized for spending more time on her hair than on environmental issues, so hence this cartoon...

Deal or No Deal?


One of the most popular gameshows these days is "Deal or No Deal". Many countries have their own version of the game. So you have to wonder... how would it play out in Iraq? Would the contestants "cut and run"?

24 in 24


My 24th cartoon was published in today's issue of "24 Hours" http://toronto.24hrs.ca/pdf/cover.pdf

Recently, the Canadian government closed a tax loophole called income trusts to prevent a growing number of corporations from converting into income trusts. Sadly it affected the two individuals in the cartoon as well...

Lottery woes


Published in today's issue of "24 Hours" http://toronto.24hrs.ca/pdf/cover.pdf. Inspired by recent statistics showing that Ontario lottery clerks win a disproportionate number of large lottery prizes, and a news story of how one lottery clerk pocketted a 78 year old man's winning "pick 6" ticket after telling him that he just won only a free ticket.

Chad Vader!

I found this video on someone else's blog and found it way too funny not to share. You will need highspeed internet to view it properly.


Chad Vader -- Day Shift Manager: Episode 4

Fresh from Blame Society Films comes the latest CHAD VADER installment. Fun stuff, as always, and the guy doing Vader's voice is spot-on.

Botulism


Here's a cartoon along the same theme as the previous one. The editor said it was a little "strong". The bigger question though is, who the heck drinks carrot juice? Seriously, where I live they recalled Organic carrot juice for botulism. Mmmmmm, carrot juice.... Mmmmmmmm ..... botulism.

Tie Domi



Recently NHL player Tie Domi retired His penalty minutes outnumbered his goals by 10:1. He's even more famous now for having an affair with Canadian MP / Billionaire heiress Belinda Stronach. Supposedly he also had an affair with Tia Carrere ( Wayne's World ... Schwing! http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000119/ )

Here are some cartoons spoofing his retirement and new found fame.

Sean Penn


Well, the Toronto Film festival wrapped up. The highlight? Sean Penn smoking at a press conference inside a public building (hotel) thus breaking a bylaw. All those filmakers upstaged by a cigarette...

Jets




Last Thursday, a Toronto paper published my "film festival" cartoon (see #334, September 9th post). Here are some other cartoons I created around the same time. One deals with friendly fire that strafed Canadian troops in Afghanistan, while the other pokes a little fun at another regional airline in Canada closing up shop.

Coffee in Space


Today only the 2nd Canadian in history took a spacewalk outside the space shuttle to help attach the new truss to the international space station. The only thing more Canadian than hockey is probably Tim Horton's coffee (they pretty much have a coffee place on every street corner in Canada).

Free Beer!



Ok, it was just root beer, but someone left a case of Diet A&W rootbeer in one of the shopping carts which I discovered when I returned my cart to the "Cart Control Area". If it's yours, it's too late! * Burp!*

Ironically, just before I paid for my groceries I bought this exact same brand of pop. (cue twilight zone music).

[CARTOON] Toronto Garbage


"This one will probably only "hit the spot" to those that live in Toronto or Michigan. Currently there are 8-10 truck trailers of trashing going back and forth between Toronto and Michigan. What a waste of gas!"
