Comics

The Conservative Government has decided to sell the CBC, one of its top Crown Corporations. After interviews with Ben Mulroney, prominent CBC hosts start mysteriously supporting CTV’s bind to buy the public broadcaster. The CBC needs a saviour. That saviour is George.

Ben Mulroney and George Stroumboulopoulos are two Canadian television personalities at opposite ends of the media spectrum. Ben works for CTV, Canada's largest private broadcaster. He is bubbly and amicable in disposition, making him a good host for entertainment enterprises such as Canadian Idol and e-Talk Daily. George works for CBC, Canada’s national public broadcaster. He...doesn’t really fit into any category but he does like black.

I like The Hour. The show's catchy graphic design and the host's no bullshit attitude caught my interest. This current events and news show was apart of CBC’s reinvention in the mid-2000s to appeal to a younger demographic. As of fall 2009, the show is entering its fifth season and has done very well for itself.

I drew Ben vs. George in the summer of 2008. I think an expanded mini-comics series would be an awesome marketing tool for the CBC but, you know, that's just me.
