The Cartoonist Other Cartoonists Can’t Wait to Read

Since 2009, when he published the first issue of his recurring comics series Pope Hats, the Canadian cartoonist Ethan Rilly has attracted fans. Like, big-deal fans, at least in the odd and rarefied world of art comics, with praise coming his way from cartoonists like Seth and Adrian Tomine. He’s won an Ignatz award and a Doug Wright Award, and he’s the kind of creator whose books other creators wait for eagerly. Reading the comics, it’s easy to see why: Rilly’s cartooning seems effortlessly evocative, each panel detailed and crisp but never stiff—there’s a real sense of actual life zipping by within each contained space. He seems like a cartoonist, as Tomine half-complimented, half-complained, “who just seems to know how to draw everything.”
