Posthumous attention: Canada's National Post notes that French-Canadian cartoonist Albert Chartier (not Arthur as the article says), who passed away on Saturday at age 91, finally may be getting the recognition he deserved:

"Chris Oliveros, publisher of Drawn & Quarterly, says the best way to honour the late artist would be to give his work better exposure. 'It's sadly typical of Canadian culture that a lot of people don't find out about such great talent until the person dies,' he said. Oliveros had planned to nominate Chartier for an Order of Canada."
