Calgary-based artist Nick Johnson, who recently illustrated Homophopia: Deal with it and turn prejudice into pride (James Lorimer & Company), answers the question, ?What does a day in the life of a cartoonist/illustrator look like??

Shannon Maguire, author of fur(l) parachute (BookThug), reveals the books that have shaped her in a WAR Series interview.
