Where did you get that from, Jacob? Love the attention to detail; the posters outside the cinema (Body Snatchers :wub:) were from movies actually released the year of the Suez Crisis.

Very nice ligne claire drawing as well. I thought that was a Euro thing. Is the author Canadian?

Red Ensign.  As mythical a story as the Canadian defense budget.

Whatever happened to that other wartime superhero, Commonwealth Curtis, whose main superpower was to suck up casualties or take secondary roles for egotistical English generals?

He certainly was not around in WWII.  The Brits were notoriously anxious about casualties to the point of near paralysis, which I guess is understandable with all their generals being Junior Officers during WWI.

:huh:

Maybe early war, but by D-Day we had our own beach, and the Canadian 1st Army acted under it's own command in liberating the low countries.

And even before it was not like English units suffered low amounts of losses compared to other nationalities.

Maybe he is referencing that movie Gallipoli, where the Australians made the artistic decision to replace the Australian General who ordered the doomed attack with an English one.

Someone linked it elsewhere, and I thought of BB. Looks like the artist is named Scott Chantler: http://scottchantler.blogspot.ca/2013/04/whatever-happened-to-red-ensign.html
