Terry Mosher

Editorial Cartoonist Mosher

Whether it’s ousted Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic sporting a Hitler-esque moustache, President Bill Clinton with his fly undone, or Quebec’s French-language minister, Louise Beaudoin, dressed up  as a dominatrix Spice Girl, Terry Mosher’s editorial page cartoons have been commenting on the political landscape of Canada and the world for the past 30 years.

Mosher’s nom de plume is “Aislin” (the name of his oldest daughter). Considered Canada’s “nastiest” cartoonist, he is syndicated to newspapers throughout Canada and has freelanced in the U.S. and abroad for such publications as The New York Times, Time, The National Lampoon, Harper’s, The Atlantic Monthly and Punch.

Mosher has travelled extensively on assignment for The Gazette and has produced thirty-two books including, In Your Face, a collection of Aislin’s 200 wittiest cartoons, and, The Hecklers, a history of political cartooning in Canada.

He is the recipient of two National Newpaper Awards and five individual prizes from The International Salon of Caricature. In 1985, Mosher became the youngest person to be inducted into The Canadian News Hall of Fame.
