More Harry Hall –

 

A Harry Hall original shared by Terry Fitzgerald. His father, Johnnie Fitzgerald,  was a writer for the Toronto Telegram from 1929-1949. He was at one time President of the Toronto Men's Press Club. Terry writes "I believe that this cartoon resided at the TMPC club facilities on Yonge Street in downtown Toronto." I have posted several pages featuring Harry Hall. Read them HERE

OOKPIK


March 1, 1963, Schenectady Gazette
Happy Canada Day! Al Beaton, editorial cartoonist at the Toronto Telegram, drew Ookpik, a strip based on a popular Arctic owl stuffed toy, in the mid-1960s. It ran for two years in 50 newspapers ending because of the artist's glaucoma. Part of the proceeds went to the Ookpik doll's 62 year old creator Inuit Jeannie Snowball and her neighbours at Fort Chimo. She had been lost in the ice and survived by eating the flesh, raw, of one of the small Arctic owls.Ookpik, Dec 1, 1963, Copyright Her Majesty the Queen.
