Terry Mosher aka AISLIN
Terry Mosher a.k.a. AISLIN
AISLIN is the nom de plume Terry Mosher has used for more than 30 years as the editorial page cartoonist for Montreal’s English-language newspaper,
The Gazette.
Sharp in his analysis of current events and relentless in his pursuit of the newsmakers of the day, Mosher informs, entertains and provokes with a single image. He is known as Canada’s premiere political cartoonist, and the source of great anxiety for most of the country’s politicians.
Over the course of his career, Mosher has frequently appeared as a commentator on many of Canada’s major television and radio programs. He is also a regular speaker at some of the most prestigious events such as Idea City, The Banff Festival for The Arts, Montreal’s Canadian Club and numerous writers’ festivals.
Mosher’s presentations, always informative and entertaining, cover a wide range of topics such as the role of humour in society, the history of political cartooning in Canada and caricature as a communications tool.
To date, thirty eight Aislin books have been published. The most recent collection, entitled
OH, OH!, covers the momentous period between September 11, 2001 and the June 2004 Canadian federal election.
In recognition both of his charitable work and his contribution to the world of political cartooning, Mosher was named an Officer of the Order of Canada in May 2003.
Client Testimonials“Aislin is vivid, steely and fierce. His cartoons are a diary of every folly and controversy that has meshed with the sad Canadian consciousness over the past three decades.”Rex Murphy
