As I grew older and entered university I came into contact with the work of American editorial cartoonists like Jeff MacNelly, Pat Oliphant , Don Wright and Mike Peters. Once again the experience was like a religious revelation. So much talent and hilarious satire. I thought this was a rare discovery until I attended my first Association of American Editorial Cartoonists convention in 1983 and found out every single living breathing North American of my age demographic had the same passion for their work. So much for unique background inspiration
