Lester Pearson cartoons are hilarious and at the same time likely to be incomprehensible to non-Canadians.

a lot of commonwealth humor is not that inexplicable to others who have that kind of exposure to a wide range of humor. I enjoy a lot of Canadian humor, and some other commonwealth cartoonists like the guy who does Footrot Flats (NewZealand).

It's comprehensible enough, here in the land of Murray Ball.

Wow!

Well... they had me laughing out loud. I guess this proves I'm not an alien Skrull impostor, but a real Canadian!

I well remember using Pearson in a game on IRC involving guessing the names of famous people from their initials. Later people would just start saying "WHO?" when it got to be my turn.

I consider them to be learnable moments.

Kate does make learning fun.

The stories of the Suez Crisis and the flag debate both turn out to be pretty remarkable.

Obviously not as comprehensible, but a couple of them made this American grin.

I find myself often telling Canadians about Mackenzie King's terriers.
