Le Devoir’s Garnotte retires
Garnotte, Le Devoir’s editorial cartoonist since 1996, is retiring from a career that included contributions to Croc starting in 1980. Sadly, his replacement, who’s been doing the daily cartoon more and more often lately, isn’t in the same class.

That’s a real shame. Everyone lauds Aislin, but Garnotte is the real champion chez nous. I wish him a happy retirement!

When was the last time anyone lauded Aislin?

My fave editorial cartoonist here is André-Philippe Côté, who draws for Le Soleil. La Presse’s Chapleau is also good. None of them are young: these two and Garnotte all worked for Croc, and we don’t have anything similar as a printed comic satire hothouse now.
Ever notice, editorial cartooning is 100% a male preserve? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a female one.
