Skip to comments
The Hamilton Community News has profiled Canadian illustrator and cartoonist Mike Cope.
“When I was a kid, I remember always seeing cartoons in Reader’s Digest Canada,” Cope said. “The magazine is freelance-based. You’re up against a lot of competition, so when you get in there on your first try, it’s pretty cool and that inspires you to keep going.”
Cope has gone on to see his creative characters published in a variety of print and online media.
In addition to devising gag cartoons for Reader’s Digest Canada magazine, he also illustrates the educational comic, WebVoyagers, for the Canadian Reader, published by LesPlan Educational Services Ltd. The comic features three siblings who travel to different locations in Canada by pressing the ‘Enter’ key on their magic computer. During their adventures, they find out more about a region or place and then return home with a press to the ‘Home’ key.
