“THIS IS SERIOUS: Canadian Indie Comics” presents a survey of contemporary Canadian artists working in the expansive genre of cartooning and indie comics. On the international stage the comic arts are highly regarded, but in Canada, it is arguable that cartoonists and illustrators haven’t yet received their moment in the spotlight. Despite this, Canadians make considerable contributions to the greater field of international comics, and Toronto, Montreal, and Hamilton are all significant centres of comic art production.
