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.

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.
