I wrote and drew a few gag cartoons, which my pal Rick Gagnon inked in his usual impeccable way. We submitted them to Reader’s Digest, who wasn’t bowled over, so they found a home in Rick’s zine, and now are here on the web. Jeff Leblanc did the masthead. Hey, I was aiming for humour [...]

October Montreal Comic Jam
By Jack in collaboration, colour, comics, Jeff Leblanc, Marr, men, Montreal, Montreal Comic Jam, photos, Richard Gagnon, sketches, watercolourSomething special for this month’s comic jam. Pierre Landry from CBC Radio came and interviewed us about the comic jam. Maybe this is a result of the press attention we got in the Gazette a couple of weeks ago. Here are some snaps from the Jam, including the interview: And you can listen to the [...]
August Montreal Comic Jam
By Jack in Animals, black and white, collaboration, colour, comics, horses, Jeff Leblanc, Marr, Montreal Comic Jam, Richard Gagnon, sketches, watercolourAfter missing a couple of nights, I finally made it to the monthly Montreal Comic Jam. Took pictures, but now I’m lazy, and put them into a slide show.

My friends stuck around, but were soon chased away by the band setting up. They, however, went down the hill to R. Gagnon’s place, and kept drawing. Rick sent me evidence via e-mail of what happened. This looks like Rick a bit, [...]
More Friday Fun and Frolic
By Jack in black and white, collaboration, colour, Gagnon Fridays, Jeff Leblanc, Marr, pencil, Richard Gagnon, sketches, washAbove is the brilliant job Rick Gagnon did colouring Marr’s (Michael Arsenault’s) drawing from last week during our usual Friday night meeting at the Cock N’ Bull bar. But this wasn’t quite so usual, because instead of “Gagnon Friday,” this one could be called Gagnon, Marr, Simmons, Leblanc (and Ruttan) Friday. Below, Marr and Gagnon [...]
