The Carless Cartoon Collection:
Not Bad for an Old Bastard
Roy Carless and Kerry J. Schooley
This book is long overdue.
A great collection of work by a truly unsung working-class
hero. Labour publications have depended on Roy Carless'
art and humour for decades. He is one of Canada's funniest
and most creative champions of workers' rights.
~ Wayne Samuelson, President, Ontario
Federation of Labour
Roy Carless' cartoons hit their
mark every time. Bosses, politicians, or anybody who thought
they were "high and mighty" felt the sting of
his pencil. Justice is his issue, and laughter is his weapon.
A collection of the work of Roy Carless is a major event.
Working people across Canada are in his debt.
~ Bob Mackenzie, MPP for Hamilton East,
1975-1995, Ontario Minister of Labour, 1990-1994
So many of the cartoons in
this collection are timeless - relevant, satirical and funny.
What more could a cartoonist be? Roy Carless is a master
of the caricature and has given us the gift of a humorous
perspective on important issues over so many decades. His
witty contribution to the culture of labour and working
people is considerable.
~ Ken Neumann, National Director, United
Steelworkers
Roi paints a very accurate
picture summarizing his interesting and colourful career.
He surely was King of his hill. Duncan Macpherson and I
were always proud of the way he took the bull by the horns
in the face of adversity.
~ Blaine, fellow artist and award-winning
editorial cartoonist
