A Kupa-Eye View
p. 94 · Read in the full issue
With this cartoon “Kupa” resurrects himself after an absence from PIM pages of at least 20 years. Just before World War 11, a young Canadian showed up in Sydney after wandering the Pacific and sold the then editor of PIM a clutch of amusing drawings. He promptly disappeared back into the blue. We heard no more of him until last December and imagined that the war had swallowed him up—although it now appears that he was there all the time, as Neil Cooper, in the PIM list of subscribers.
Apart from the fact that Kupa is a commercial artist in Winnipeg, Manitoba, we know no more of him now than in the late 1930’s but, although, like the rest of us, he is 20 years older, his new batch of drawings shows that his ability to see the ridiculous in the Pacific Islands scene is the same as ever. This is the first of his new drawings.
Others will appear in the months ahead.
