Summary:
"Now iconic to Canadian, if not global culture,
Cape
Breton
Island underwent a metamorphosis of sorts during the 1970s and 1980s. Long marginalized by geography, economics and predominant mainland political culture, a countercultural sea change brought the island's deeply rooted creative side--music, drama, literature and humour--to centre stage. One such stage was
Old
Trout
Funnies
, a homegrown satirical series of
comic
books created by artist Paul MacKinnon. MacKinnon's
Cape
Breton
comic
book heroes, the
Cape
Breton
Liberation
Army
, led the revolution, lampooning local and provincial politics, labour unions, environmental activism, government infrastructure projects and back-to-the-landers. Through the farcical exploits of the CBLA,
Old
Trout
Funnies
parodied and played with the caricature of
Cape
Bretoners as shiftless, happy-go-lucky rogues whose motivation emanated from the taverns. In The
Comic
Origins
of the
Cape
Breton
Liberation
Army
, folklorist Ian Brodie explores the themes and the legacy of
Old
Trout
Funnies
, providing the cultural and historical context for a project that was intensely esoteric and in-the-moment. Included are the complete runs of the comics, the calendars and some rarely seen ancillary images of the CBLA, and of some unfinished and unpublished works."--From publisher.
