I'm surprised that the popularity of blogging hasn't produced more websites on Canadian comic books, comic strips and comic art so have started another blog called Punch in Canada after the first Canadian comic periodical. Many American comic strip characters have gone (or tried to go) to Canada including Desperate Desmond, Salesman Sam, Porky Pig, Bugs Bunny and Bobo Baxter.

Jack Sparling was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba 21 Jun 1916. He drew a variety of comic strips and comic books. Comic strips included Hap Hopper Washington Correspondent, Claire Voyant (for PM), and Sam Hill (1960). Jack Sparling died in 1997.
