Peterson for The Vancouver Sun, September 27, 2003: A federal central Canadian politician courting the "local" Western B.C. vote.[/caption]
The great Canadian editorial cartoonist Roy Peterson passed away Sunday, at his West Vancouver home. He was 77. Peterson was one of the finest editorial cartoonists of any country, and any time, but he was Canadian; born in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1936, and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia. He served as the editorial cartoonist for The Vancouver Sun newspaper from 1962 to 2009 (read the Sun's obituary). From 1978 to 2001, his illustrations appeared in the weekly national news magazine Macleans, illustrating Allan Fotheringham's back page column -- that would likely have been where I, and most Canadians, first saw his work -- and what work!
