Canadian cartoonists have played a significant role in shaping the global comics landscape, contributing in both English and French since the earliest days of cartooning. From editorial cartoons and comic strips to groundbreaking graphic novels and webcomics, Canadian creators have left their mark across every format.

Pioneers like Hal Foster (Prince Valiant), Lynn Johnston (For Better or For Worse), and Dave Sim (Cerebus) helped define new storytelling approaches, while artists like Joe Shuster, co-creator of Superman, launched entire genres. From the early political satire of Grip magazine to modern webcomics and graphic novels, Canada’s cartooning legacy is rich with innovation, diversity, and cultural impact.
