Jon Blair
Jon Blair was a cartoonist at York U a few years ago. He published some incredibly excellent comics, in Mondo and Excalibur and other such places. I was looking for what he’s been doing lately but he doesn’t appear to have a very strong web presence. He has likely focused on film or acting or waitering or whatever he was majoring in when he was at Winters College.
Here’s the only comic of his that I’ve been able to find (here), from Sept 25, 2002:
I really like the style he used. This isn’t an example of his best work, but it’s still pretty good. He did a series where Aquaman stole his girlfriend; it was a classic. My favourite strip involved a monkey who was demoted to Monster Food at a factory and upon quitting talked to a crab in a doctor’s outfit who said “Oh, fa’ sho’!” We smoked a lot back then.

Jon’s the younger brother of a dear friend of mine (who also happens to be a former editor of Golden Words).
Jon is also the love of my life.
Um…the…um…unrequited love of my life.
This is his blog, anyway: http://www.livejournal.com/users/jonvstheants/

Is he really the younger brother of Matt Blair? Because that is HIGHLY coincidental. I was wondering if there was a family relation, but didn’t think the world could be that small.

He is indeed the younger (hotter) brother of Mr. Matthew Blair himself.
Holy wow. Jon Blair is hot.

He’s got a sort of Bruce Campbell thing going on. It’s a’ight, if you’re into that.

Being the gf of Jon Blair, I think I can safely defend the hotness of said Matt Blair. both equally rockin’ guys. It is true Jon’s web presence does not reflect what he is up to in the world of comics. He is working on a proposal for his comic book “Nightlab” all in colour..and man oh man is it hot!
