Terry Mosher

Terry Mosher, aka Aislin, is a political cartoonist from Montreal, whose cartoons grace the editorial pages of the Montreal Gazette. Here, he has gathered cartoons from all over the world to present the pandemic through the cartoonists’ eyes; there are more than 100 cartoonists from 38 countries whose work is represented here. Such a book is obviously not meant to be raced through front-to-back, but rather to be savoured a few cartoons at a time, and it works very well both as a compendium show more about life during COVID-19 and an introduction to cartoonists whose work one otherwise would not have seen. I’m not sure how available it is; I obtained copies through local Montreal bookstores, and I think it can be bought at Aislin’s website (www.aislin.com); a percentage of the proceeds will go to a local hospital to aid in its ongoing efforts to provide healthcare to the community, and Aislin is hoping that some of the cartoonists represented here will be able to compile their own books with a similar goal in mind. Making light of an extreme emergency isn’t easy, but these people know how it’s done; recommended! show less
