No fun making cartoons

Canadian Press

HAMILTON — People in 24 coun
tries get their daily giggle from
Herman cartoons, but the creator of
the popular comic panel isn't laugh
ing.

Jim Unger says that the rigors of
producing 300 daily cartoon panels a

year for 14 years had taken its toll.
“Well, it's .
said Unger after a recent

graphing session at the McMaster
University bookstore in Hamilton.
“But the actual cartooning is now a
complete agony.”

Hundreds lined up to buy a copy of
Unger's sixth and newest collection
of Herman cartoons.

The drawing is usually a pleasure,
it's the gags that are tough.

“I'd like to quit,” he added. “I
mentioned it last week to the syni
cate and they nearly went freaky.”

No wonder. Unger is a one-man
cartoon empire

Herman appears in more than 350
newspapers and his books, six collec:
tions of cartoons, have sold more
than 1.6 million copies. One million
copies of his latest book have already
been pre-sold.

Still, Unger is envious of fellow
cartoonist Gary Larson, creator of
The Far Side, who is taking a year
sabbatical, Even’ though Unger esti
mates he would lose about $20,000 a
month, quitting still looks attractive.

With money in the bank and lack of
motivation, this former poor boy
from London now admits to sturg:
gling with cartoonists block.

“Ive had a real tough time the last
few weeks,” he said.

Despite the problems, the affable
51-year-old knows Herman has given
him a great life, a spacious villa in
West Nassau, Bahamas, and enough
money to never work another day.

When he came to Canada 20 years
ago he was earning $200 a week at
the Mississauga Times near Toronto
as a graphic artist.

One day he filled in for the regular
cartoonist who was sick. The paper
loved his work and offered him a
regular spot until a syndicate lured
him away with a $1,000 a week,
three-year contract.

Larson
photo
snatched

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Far-out
news on the creator of The Far Side
comic strip: They've stolen Gary
Larson, says the curator of astron-
omy at the Dayton Museum of
Natural History, “a life-sized, enor
mous photo of Gary Larson.”

Art Goss says the photo of the
cartoonist, which belongs with an
exhibit at the museum of Larson's
work, was taken.

The photo “was standing there in
the glassed-in entryway of the
museum, and some college-age guys
stole it,” Goss says.

JIM UNGER
. , it's ‘agony’

Unger left for the sunny, low-tax
shorés of the Bahamas in 1982 to es-
cape Canadian taxes.

Today he uses Nassau as home
base, but often visits his sisters in

Canada, or does book tours of the
United States and Europe to meet
Herman fans.

“I've got five letters from Frank
Sinatra,” he said. “He's a big Herman
fan,”

As for Herman, Unger said he
knows why the character is popular.
“I figured it out a long time ago . .
everybody knows themselves when
they see Herman,” he said. “We all
think we're so different and we're

Now that money is no longer a
problem, Unger isn’t certain what
will happen next.

“I'm not trying to be cocky, but
I've got a million bucks stuck away in
the bank,” Unger explained. “On the
interest I'll draw about $3,000 a
week. If you can't live on $3,000 a
week you must be cuckoo.”

In the meantime, being a famous
cartoonist has its peak for a single
guy in the Bahamas.

“There's never been a girl born yet
that’s not attracted to a guy with a
glamorous profession and a couple of
million bucks,” he laughed.

TORONTO (CP) — The Toronto
Stock Exchange rose slightly Friday,
capping off a week of late gains after
a lacklustre beginning.

The exchange's 300 composite was
up .68 points in modest trading to
close at 3283.71, a jump of 21.87
points over last week.

In New York,-the Dow Jones
average of 30 industrials was down
6.4 points to 2112.91 points, good for
an increase of 22.23 points over last
week.

Toronto share prices were buoyed
by a surge in the bond market result-
ing from investors feeling that rising
interest rates have been quelled in
the short-term, said Ian Simpson, an
analyst with Midland Doherty.

He noted that Toronto volumes
increased steadily through the week
despite a sluggish start, leaving

, analysts optimistic ame greater gains

are instore?

“While the week seems to have
done a see-saw, volume appeared to
be piling up,” he said. “That could be
building momentum for next week.”

New York traders said they were
pleased to see stock prices showing
signs of life Thursday after a
protracted period of little movement
on low volume.

But they also said many market
participants remained doubtful that
any major shift took place in the
mood of investors.

The U.S. goverhment reported
Friday that the index of leading
economic indicators — used to detect
future economic trends — rose 0.4
per cent in August.

TORONTO (CP) — A Canadian businessman is
about to put Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's policy of
glasnost to what may be its severest test yet.

Geoffrey Carr-Harris, a former student in the
Soviet Union, plans to open two franchise printing

shops in downtown Moscow.

The Soviet government says he can serve anyone

who comes through the door.

“It's a very, very major political advance,”

Jerry Hough, a Soviet-affairs
University in North Carolina.

“(Copying) machines have been under lock and key
and it’s been virtually illegal for most people to make

copiess in the Soviet Union.”

Carr-Harris — through his Toronto company,
Phargo Management and Consulting — has entered into
partnership with the Soviet government to open two
AlphaGraphics Printshops of the Future, he announced

late last week.

One of the outlets will be on Gorky Street in the
heart of Moscow, near the new McDonald's restaurant,

Indians

get $4.69 million

By The Canadian Press

CRESTON — The Lower Kutenai
Indian band council has tentatively
accepted a federal land claims offer of
$4.69 million, band administrator
Chris Luke said Wednesday.

The offer will be voted on by all
band members, probably on Nov. 4,
Luke said in an interview.

The 150-member band was offered

$2.9 million in March, but unani-
mously rejected it in July.

The Kutenai band first applied for
a claim in 1980, but the application
was rejected twice before being ac-
cepted in 1983.

The payment is for an estimated
4,000 to 5,600 hectares of land the
band lost in 1908 when it was auc-
tioned off by the federal government.
