Life is pretty fun when you get to examine comic books for credit.
Captain Canuck pushing strident Canadian nationalism on one hand.
Chester Brown using the medium to tell the story of Louis Riel on the other, without all that nationalistic crap.
Yup, everything's going to be okay.
Edit 17/06/10: I lied. This paper almost killed me. It's several pages over the maximum and I feel like I have slept in days. Oh right. I haven't. Next time I decide to take something like this on I'm going to need my past self come up and kick the ass of my future self. Or I could start writing papers a little more in advance.

HEY! I was creeping and I found your blog, it is awesome.. is it alright if I comment on things and read archives with childlike abandon? This is partly because I miss you and I want to see what you're up to (Cultural studies, eh?) and also because I need to procrastinate from doing my homework. (Yes, it's a need).
Back on topic, though, I have a Mount Forest connection to Captain Canuck. One of the illustrators from this strangely nationalistic comic strip lived in Mount Forest and offered comic sketching lessons after school, and I went to them for a little while! All I remember about him is that he taught me how to draw hands and also that he had just terrible breath. He would bend down beside you to look over your paper, and it would be death by halitosis. Just thought you would like to know that.
