Excellent Icelandic Travelogue





"The lady from the suite below us I see at breakfast, a big bear of a woman who looks as all the American tourists in Iceland do: pissed off and annoyed.
Hamilton based cartoon artist David Collier (of Drawn and Quarterly) is attending the NINE Comics Festival exhibition at the Reykjavik Art Museum in Reykjavik, Iceland. CBC , Canada's public broadcaster, is posting his impressions of his time in Iceland in a neat little travelogue which can be viewed here. Say what you will about the CBC and whether or not it should be spending our tax dollars to cover the Olympics, or NHL hockey but in my opinion it is one of the best outlets going right now in Canada for finding out what is really going on. Not just the sensational type news stories, but what is going on all across this great land of ours and what we as Canadians are accomplishing abroad.
