Comic – Johnny Canuck
And at long last, here is our first comic since July last year.
For those of you who don’t quite get the gag here, the Winter Olympics in Vancouver will be taking place next month, and the Canucks’ rink is being used for hockey games. Because of this, the team has been scheduled to go on a 14 game road trip – the longest in NHL history – over six weeks while the arena is prepared for the Olympics, and then again for the team’s return home. I felt this was analogous to someone being temporarily kicked out of their own house, and couldn’t think of anyone better to represent the Canucks than the very character they were named after, Johnny Canuck.
And speaking of Johnny Canuck, I’ve drawn him very differently to my usual Chibi influenced characters, making him look more like the various logos the Canucks use that feature him.
