The Doug Wright Awards were established in 2005 to “cast a spotlight on the range of cartoonists and comic artists working in Canada. They are named for Doug Wright (1917-1983) whose strip, Doug Wright’s Family, graced newspapers from the late 1940s to the early 1980s. Though born in England, Wright was a proud Canadian and managed to reflect the aspirations and anxieties of a generation through his wordless panels.”
