A loving all-ages time capsule of mid-century suburban family life, designed by Seth Last year’s debut of the collected Doug Wright: Canada’s Master Cartoonist introduced the world to the charms of Nipper, the mischievous little kid who appeared in newspapers across North America in the mid 20th century. Nipper 1963-1964 is the first in a series of affordable paperback annuals that will collect two years worth of Doug Wright’s ingenious and enduring comic strip. This volume covers a peak period in Wright’s four-decade career as he comes into his own as an iconic cartoonist capable of documenting middle-class suburban existence in all its minute joys and indignities. Packed with period details and loaded with charm, these collections of sublime wordless strips will feature designs by acclaimed cartoonist Seth and a brief introduction by journalist Brad Mackay.
