You sort of think of the Tragically Hip as the rock band with the bar-blues hick fanbase, and you might snivel about it until you realise The Stranger and the Downie-Wenjack Foundation are still slowly defrosting Canadians' attitudes towards reconciliation, reparations and the treatment of Indigenous people in general. Perhaps it even stretches out to all the complex lives and stories painted of those people whose lives many wouldn't have started sympathetic towards. Gord Downie, man of the people, amplifier of the voices of the unheard and unusual, the man that you were.

The Gords, Rob and Paul, may people keep listening and learning from the voices you amplified.

This year I was part of a five person editorial team who produced and published a brand new comics collection that is now nominated for two major American awards.

Pulping Volume One: Comics on Comics is an 144-page anthology featuring 35 Toronto-area cartoonists making work on the meta theme of comic books, including an original nine page story by yours truly.

Pulping is now up for two Ignatz Awards at the annual Small Press Expo @SPX the biggest/best east coast USA indi-comics show!!

Outstanding Anthology and Outstanding Story for the original contribution "The Happy Art" by contributor Sami Alwani.

If you're not already, I would be so grateful if you would please register to vote for the Ignatz Awards and cast your ballots for Pulping and Sami!
