Officer Peterson

Thursday, January 29, 2004

Vancouver Sun cartoonist Roy Peterson will soon become an officer in the Order of Canada.  He joins Lynn Johnston and Ben Wicks, who are the only other cartoonist Members of the Order I can think of.  Am I forgetting anyone else? 

UPDATE: I just realized that I probably forgot pioneering animator Norman McLaren, and after searching the Order’s website, sure enough, he has received two honours…

If you’re unfamiliar with Peterson’s style, Daryl Cagle’s site has an archive of his latest cartoons.
