Gable wins National Newspaper Award in Editorial Cartooning
Last night in Ottawa, Brian Gable of The Globe & Mail took home his sixth NNA for drawings on subjects as diverse as American politics and the rise of a tech-savvy generation with little knowledge of books. In one memorable take on the role-reversal of Toronto and Calgary’s mayoral races, he depicted a boat-load of elite Easterners fleeing Rob Ford country for the sanctuary of the Naheed Nenshi-run Alberta city.
The finalists were Montrealers Terry Mosher (Aislin) of The Gazette and Serge Chapleau of La Presse.
Here are Gable's winning entries:

Quebec cartoonists need only wait for politicians to hand them ideas
There was much grief and gnashing of teeth in certain quarters when Dubya sashayed out of the White House this year, and when Sarah Palin failed to make it in, with John McCain.
No, not only among the Republicans, silly. But also among editorial cartoonists.

A brief history of "Portfoolio"
 |
| Cover drawing by Ed Franklin |
Portfoolio was born in the summer of 1985 when McClelland & Stewart, which had published two previous collections of Canadian editorial cartoons in 1983 and 1984, decided not to renew the experience.
A publisher was found in Montreal (Croc Publishing) and Portfoolio 85: The Year in Canadian Caricature saw the light that fall.
