Talk:Michael Bedard

Not the poster artist
This Michael Bedard is not the creator of Sitting Ducks.

Library and Archives Canada (LAC) is clear about the distinction, although other national libraries and ref#1 are not.
 * this guy – born, raised, resides in Toronto, Ontario – |0101H6833 LAC data at VIAF ; ref#1 and ref#2 (with images)
 * that guy – born Windsor, Ontario, resides in Los Angeles – |1011K1108 LAC data at VIAF ; homepage and short autobiography (with images)
 * See also 2002 version of short autobiography.

 * German Wikipedia conflates the two people de:Michael Bedard; that guy is covered exclusively in section 3 and those references now numbered 4, 5, 6, and 11. Plus bits elsewhere (illustrator; "Bedard ist verheiratet und hat vier Kinder, die Familie lebt in der Nähe von Los Angeles." ?).


 * I created that guy at Wikidata D:Q20719640. --P64 (talk) 21:42, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
