Review: The Best of Adrian Raeside: A Treasury of BC Cartoons

The Best of Adrian Raeside: A Treasury of BC Cartoons by Adrian Raeside

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



One of the things I truly enjoy about cartoons and comics from different places is the insight they give into cultural differences. The things people deem important - or annoying - vary so much from location to location. In this case, it is the annoyance of the ferry system, since much of the Vancouver area is connected by ferries. Who would have thought they would have been targets for such barbs? For those of us who have mostly lived in landlocked places, this is an eye-opener.

On the other hand, there are things that seem universal as well: complaints about politicians, most notably. In this case, I am glad we share this problem with others. I would hate to think that the USA is the only place with insane and corrupt political scenes.

Other recommendations for cartoons with local flavor will be gladly received.
