The fonds comprises both original editorial cartoons as well as some illustrations which were commissioned as accompaniments to magazine articles. Editorial caricatures were published predominantly through syndication in a number of newspapers across Canada. They parody such political issues as language rights, free trade, and the Meech Lake Accord. Federal and provincial politicians featured in the fonds include John Diefenbaker, Brian Mulroney, Ed Broadbent, John Turner, Kim Campbell, Jean Chrétien, Paul Martin, Robert Bourassa and Bill Vander Zalm. Public figures include David Suzuki and the British royal family. Also part of the fonds are more illustrative works which relate to such issues as the controversy over the C.B.C. broadcast of the 1991 film The Valour and the Horror; an elected Senate; perks enjoyed by Members of Parliament; the tenure of Marcel Masse as Defence Minister; Canada as peacekeeper; and defence spending.
