‘A Boy Scout’: Canadian Icon Marking Golden Anniversary Stands up to Trump
Richard Comely celebrates Captain Canuck's 50th anniversary with a political comic cover depicting the hero confronting Donald Trump during his presidency.
- This year, Richard Comely toured Canada to mark Captain Canuck’s 50th anniversary, producing a viral cover confronting Donald Trump during his first term.
- Amid centenary patriotism, Comely said Trump’s tariff threats and annexation pushed him and Comely’s publisher to respond with Captain Canuck as a defiant symbol.
- Comely financed early runs with an $8,000 loan due to high Canadian printing costs and said 80 per cent of sales are in the U.S., with intermittent interest from U.S. companies.
- Retailers reported copies sold out and sought additional stock, while fans asked Comely to personalize Captain Canuck copies, including one urging `Apologize, you orange Muppet`.
- Comely is planning documentary and biography projects amid renewed interest, discussing a collaboration with Archie Comics, while Captain Canuck’s prior recognitions—a Time cover, postage stamp and coin—underline its legacy.
