Doug Wright comic strip

Doug Wright made some great cartoons for years. He was born in England, and immigrated to Canada in his teens in 1938. A  proud Canadian citizen, this was often reflected in the modest, suburban Ontario life depicted in his comic strips Nipper and Doug Wright's Family (begun in 1967).   It's been reported that "His cartooning career really began when he landed a job as editorial cartoonist for the Montreal Standard.  In 1948 he took over the reins of Jimmy Frise’s Birdseye Center, retitled Juniper Junction. Signing the strip “DAW”, he continued with it until its end in September, 1968.  Wright created Nipper, a mostly silent comic strip, for the Standard in 1949."
