Description

Introducing Robbie – the irascible funny/cynical creator of Canadian Verses & Vices, certain to provoke a reaction pro or con, but never neuter!

Robbie’s rhymies (illustrated by his partner in rhyme, cartoonist Howard Hunt) are pithy social commentaries on the on-going everyday events and issues encountered in the great Canadian way of life – with just the right amount of bile to brighten the bland-as-usual routine of "Everyone" old enough to read.

The real life Robbie is in fact Bob Harshaw, man about Canada, destined to become the nation’s own alter ego in the not too distant future.
