It’s been super hot and humid lately, and there was a heat warning for a bit, sometimes temperatures had been reaching 30 + without the humidity.

Of course there will always be that one person who wears a bunny hug, and shorts in all weather.

Stay safe, and stay hydrated.

So, to finally post something for Indigenous history month, I made a Cutesy comic with Nanook and Owen.

So the name that the province of Saskatchewan goes by, is a shortened and modernized version of the original word of the Saskatchewan River, Kisiskatchewanisipi, which is Cree for ‘Swift-flowing river’.

Which was what most people called the river.

It is unknown (at least to modern peoples) as to the reason why Government did this when the District was formed in 1882.

****

Unfortunately not much is known for the origins of the names of the Provinces, and Territories. Some have more info than others.

So the RCMP shared a photo of their possible new duty shirts, and they’re going on trial for the next six months.

This is one of three versions, I’ve seen comments on how they look like “cheap amusement park security”, and “Gas station employee”, vibes.

My mom said that this one in particular looks like something a sci-fi pilot would wear.

I think she said it looks like something from Battlestar Galactica.

Don’t take this too seriously, this was made just to poke fun at the Sustainable Sask Ad/s.

If you’d seen the sustainable Saskatchewan ads, it feels like Saskatchewan is doing a very great job, Right? Well, it’s just Moe trying so hard to brag about how we are a strong, and successful Province, all while not really acknowledging how underfunded our Education, and Healthcare systems are, among other problems...

Yeah, Despite the claim of the ads, we’re still a dumpster fire, lol.

I know this is quite late, (I was busy) I was supposed to finish this back on the first. This year marks the 150th year that the RCMP existed. First formed in 1873, as the NWMP.

This comic was made mostly to summarize Moose Jaw, and RJ’s personal relationship. They use a lot of insult humour, thus why the card says what it says. They both have f’d up senses of humour.

Bonus panels below:

A special appearance of the ghosts of NWMP, and RNWMP. NWMP is like the only person who calls RJ, by his full first name. He’s just saying that to try to piss off NWMP.

Haven't drawn Fort Qu'Appelle in a while, so I made a comic.

Important note: It's more than likely not allowed to toboggan downhill on slopes.

Here is Saskatoon’s intro comic. He’s Genderfluid, thus why he specified his pronouns. He can sometimes sound obnoxious, but he’s trying to be better.

He works as a chef, and likes to make pastries.

He has two older siblings, Nutana, and Riversdale (former villages, now neighbourhoods) I have to figure out their legal names, before I make proper introductions.

Again, these characters are based off of Historical events, and how they present themselves in the media, not stereotypes.

West Eddy mall is what I’ve heard some people here call West Edmonton mall.

Slang used:

Gotches are slang for men’s underwear.

Saskabush is slang for Saskatoon. 

I’ve seen some people sometimes call Saskatchewan ‘Saskabush”, but it’s actually slang for Saskatoon, because of Saskatoon berries, and that they grow on bushes.

Here is Regina’s introduction comic. (and RJ’s sort of vague intro), I tried to imply that she’s the type of person that’s overly positive, and that’ll talk your ear off with information, even unnecessary info, if given the chance.

Thus the more or less unwanted introduction of RJ in her intro. (his own will be very short, but he will be done last, so don’t expect his anytime soon)

I try to base these characters not on stereotypes of residents (As they’ll pretty much be the same) but inspired off of their History/historical events.

Here, I depict Regina as someone who likes to brag about positive stuff about her, as it’s very much like that here. With all the ads bragging that we’re the birthplace of Universal healthcare in Canada.

She gets all pouty and upset when compared to Edmonton, but no one likes being compared to others, so that’s a normal thing.

More info (about the comment of RJ being a glorified babysitter) below:

With RJ being described as a glorified babysitter, is he? yes he is. 

Explanation, so you don’t have to wait on his intro comic for it:

No denial about that, I figured that some of these personifications need one, given they can get out of control sometimes, and what human wants to be stupid enough to get involved with that? certainly not me. And what Province/Territory has the time to keep ALL of their personifications/municipalities on semi-decent behaviour? He’s also there to convince Mattie NOT to commit Arson against his enemies. (Because Arson doesn’t solve everything)

He’s mostly behind the scenes, and his purpose in this blog is to mostly share history about the Mounties when I want to share them, it helps to have one individual there to share it, instead of making characters of every. single. Fort. and for the occasional gag comic about someone not paying their parking tickets, and RJ’s superiors (i.e. Ollie, Mattie, or his Boss) are on his ass about it.

For context: 

So the Moe Government announced a new Police Force, they want to add within the next few years, called the Saskatchewan Marshal Service, some of us call them Moe’s Marshals. And they claimed in an article that the Marshals were gonna be more ‘Highly trained,’ than the RCMP,  but also they’re not gonna focus on Community based work, as that’ll be the jobs the other cops can have, but who truly knows? Sometimes they say one thing, then another on a different day.

The RCMP, and Opposition responded with “That’s more like a waste of good money that can go to other places, we don’t need another Police Force! It’s not that necessary!” But the Government is like “Are you sure? We’re gonna do it anyways!” 

Of course we, the people of Rider nation responded in memes, with jokes about how we’ll only accept them if they rode on horses, and wore cowboy hats, and the like. Because we like to troll on our Premier on Twitter.

On the other note, I drew a disembodied arm to represent the Government.
