Nipper

Doug Wright's Nipper, published by Drawn & Quarterly from 2010 onward, collects the beloved single-panel cartoons of a mischievous, silent boy navigating the small joys and everyday mishaps of mid-century childhood. Originally appearing in newspapers and magazines from the 1940s through the 1960s, these gentle, wordless gags showcase Wright's warm, deceptively simple linework and keen observational humor. Spanning just three issues, this series serves as a vital archival tribute to one of Canada's most influential and under-celebrated cartoonists, preserving a timeless slice of comic art history.
