Excelsior 1968

Excelsior 1968 is a high school yearbook for the fictional Bristol County Secondary school in the fictional Staedtler, Ontario.

Each student here is redrawn (and renamed) from my mother's actual 1968 high school yearbook. Excelsior 1968 was nominated for the Pigskin Peters Award for experimental or non-narrative cartooning at the 2008 Doug Wright Awards for Canadian cartooning.

Buy a printed version of the yearbook, complete with every one of the more than one thousand faces.
