Text of introduction by Joseph Planta:
I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.
Adrian Raeside joins me again. The legendary cartoonist recently published a new collection of his work, Wildlife for Idiots: And Other Animal Cartoons. It’s full of Raeside’s hilarity, his loving and often loyal depiction of animals, which reveal the frailties and foibles of humans. There are animals in this collection that are loving and loved, as well as funny and perhaps smarter than most of us. I’ll ask Adrian about his work, about the animals he depicts, and what it all says about human behaviour. Adrian Raeside is the long-time editorial cartoonist published in the Victoria Times Colonist since 1979, who has also drawn the Other Coast comic strip for many years, which appears in hundreds of publications around the world. His website for more is at www.raesidecartoon.com. The book is from Harbour Publishing. We spoke last week, with Adrian at his home on Vancouver Island. Please welcome back to the Planta: On the Line program, Adrian Raeside; Mr. Raeside, good morning.
