You Might Be From British Columbia If . . . is a delightful, illustrated romp through this diverse province. From one of the most celebrated cartoonists in the province, Daniel Murphy delivers his unique take on Canada’s most extraordinary province, tickling the funny bone on every page. As Murphy proves, this is a province that is proud of what it is, and likes nothing better than a good laugh.

Dan Murphy is a cartoonist and writer. For 29 years, he produced political cartoons, editorials, and the Sunday illustrated column Mr. Pundit for The Province newspaper. Thoughtful, satirical, and laugh out loud funny, this is the book Murphy was born to write. Murphy is a Western Magazine Award winner and his work has appeared in Maclean’s, Condé Nast Traveller, Omni, Penthouse, and Surfer.

“You Might Be From British Columbia If … is not only brilliantly funny, it’s dead-on accurate. Years from now, historians will realize this book is the most important dissection on what it is that makes BC so unique. And right after that, Dan Murphy will realize he should have asked for more money.”
— Adrian Raeside, editorial cartoonist
