The © Urban Cartoon Syndicate was launched in May 2024, jointly with Spacing Vancouver. Coming out roughly weekly from a group of cartoonists and illustrators, each cartoon captures a timely message about civic affairs and life in our cities. New submissions are welcome (write us at CitizenYVR@gmail.com). Re-use by media or others is welcome, with credit to the © Urban Cartoon Syndicate, and we appreciate an e-mail to let us know. Anyone wishing to donate for use is invited to donate to the Jak King Memorial Fund at UBC.
