Humour

October 6th 2008
Chartworks

Freelance artist, David Brown, has drawn some inspired, critical and timely cartoons for ours and other publications

He suffered a severe fall in late April and passed away on June 12 where he lived for recent years in Orillia, Ontario. Aged 77, David worked many decades in Hollywood and had returned to Ontario where he was constantly illustrating and crafting ideas. We have enjoyed using his work since 2002, and miss him as a friend.

The cartoon we enjoyed the most was published during the worst of last fall's crash. When asked who he used as "models' for the "Upper Alagash Falls Quilting Bee", he responded that they were his "girlfriends" – with a laugh.
