Born as a doodle on a diner placemat nearly ten years ago, Wendy, the mononymous arty party girl of Walter Scott’s cult comic book series, has since journeyed through Canada’s busiest centres and buzziest scenes in her quest to become an acclaimed visual artist. In the character’s self-titled 2014 debut, Wendy, still in her early twenties, began chasing art-world aspirations, from Montreal to a woodsy artists’ retreat and back, though her attention often drifted to the eternal hunt for a good party and the affections of a skeezy drummer named Jeff.
The next instalment, 2016’s
Wendy’s Revenge, sees her navigating larger ponds: an international residency in Japan, a move to Toronto, a group exhibition in Los Angeles. Wendy was still learning how to swim among the (occasionally ferocious) personalities she encountered from her place at the edge of the scene, and the offer of another beer or key bump still served as a regular diversion from her creative aspirations.
