What happened in the 1700s that would be significant with Canadian Comics?
Brigadier-General George Townshend's cartoons lampooning General James Wolfe in 1759 are recognized as the first examples of political cartooning in Canadian history.
Was anything else from the 1700's in regards to Canadian Comics besides the first examples of politcal cartooning in Canadian history?
Cartoons did not have a regular forum in Canada until John Henry Walker's short-lived weekly Punch in Canada débuted in Montreal in 1849.
Who is the most famous cartoonist mentioned from the 1800's mentioned in the article on Canadian Comics?
In 1873, John Wilson Bengough founded Grip, a humour magazine in the style of Punch and the American Harper's Weekly.
What did John Wilson Bengough and his magazine Punch do of significance?
Punch featured a large number of cartoons, especially Bengough's own. The cartoons tended to be political, and Prime Minister John Macdonald and Métis rebel leader Louis Riel were favourite targets.
What is some interesting aspect of this Canadian Comics article that I have not mentioned, avoiding George Townshend, John Henry Walker, and John Wilson Bengough?
Palmer Cox, a Canadian expatriate in the United States, at this time created The Brownies, a popular, widely merchandised phenomenon whose first book collection sold over a million copies.
