The Great Northern Brotherhood Of Canadian Cartoonists
''The Great Northern Brotherhood of Canadian Cartoonists'' is a graphic novel by Canadian cartoonist Seth, published in October 2011 by Drawn & Quarterly. Like 2005's ''Wimbledon Green'', ''The G.N.B. Double C'' was taken from Seth's sketchbooks. Seth describes it as a companion book and prequel to ''Green'' but its insistent "Canadianness" and lack of plot seem to place it more alongside another work of Seth's, ''George Sprott''. "The Great Northern Brotherhood of Canadian Cartoonists" referred to in the title is a fictional organization serving the Canadian comics community. Seth takes readers on a tour of "The G.N.B. Double C" building in the fictional town of Dominion, Ontario, and gives an overview of Canadian comics history along the way. This history, although mostly fictitious, does mention real cartoonists like Doug Wright, Jimmy Frise, Arch Dale, and Peter Whalley Peter Whalley (February 21, 1921 – September 18, 2007) was a Canadian caricaturist, cartoonist, ...
