The Comix Files: Jacques Boivin and Canadian Free Speech

Montreal cartoonist Jacques Boivin and I were correspondents from 1985-1993. Although Jacques is an amazing and talented artist, I chiefly remember him for his struggle against Canadian customs. I've included just a few of the articles he sent in the early 1990s. You serious researchers will have to enlarge the images in order to read most of them.
