Canoe Cartoon

[Louis Michaud]

Bonjour,

Anybody know the origin, the original and story of this cartoon ?

Which, by the way, should hang in all canoe shops...

Best,

Louis Michaud

I know the blog, Paddling Upstream, http://www.blogger.com/profile/06159367625637366095, has a version of this on "About Me" (Canoez)....and I've seen it in several canoe shops....the version you ask about has been on my blog....but is also featured on http://www.birchcanoes.com/solo.htm where I found it....if you put the mouse over the cartoon there you see "http://humour-mhdv.chez-alice.fr/images/images/canoe.jpg"....hope that helps....

I think that one's been around in one form or another for many years, i remember seeing it as a kid about 30 years ago with the caption 'at least i used all the tools' and there might have been a monkey instead of a man. Still a good one !

Hmmm.... Looks familiar. Don't ask me why.

That one dates back at least to the mid '70s, which would mean that we would have first seen it in either Canoe Magazine or Wilderness Camping Magazine, both of which we sold in the store. Norm and I considered building one like that for fun at the time (before sanity luckily over-ruled us).

I wonder if anyone has ever made a model of this cartoon canoe?

I seem to remember Great Canadian had one in their ads many years ago with a caption " we actually built it"
Can't remember how many years ago this was
