Angloman: Making the World Safe for Apostrophes

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.
(Redirected from Angloman)

A satirical comic book series, parodying mid-nineties Quebec politics, which makes little sense to anyone not familiar with the politics of Quebec separatism, the Canadian politicians of the time, and the complexities of Canadian language politics in general. Written by Mark Shainblum and illustrated by Gabriel Morrissette, Angloman was published in two volumes:

  • Angloman: Making the world safe for Apostrophes
  • Angloman 2: Money, Ethnics, and Superheros

The titular character is a well-meaning, but rather dim superhero belonging to Quebec's anglophone minority. The adventures of the ensemble cast of superheros take place mostly in the various regions of Montreal, but some adventures take them as far away as Toronto.

Tropes used in Angloman: Making the World Safe for Apostrophes include:
