He is also a particularly appropriate recipient for the oddly heraldic honour that recognizes people of great import in the world of art. A prolific cartoonist since the 1970s, Seth, who’s based in Guelph, Ont., continues to make beautiful books and other art across a range of media. Seth, of course, has designed an elaborate, fold-out box for the vinyl record, which was released in June. And that’s an insight into why the equally fancy French honour fits Seth like one of his 1950s-style suits, even if he’s determined to stay modest. He has, after all, just acquired an honour he shares with William S. Burroughs, Alice Munro and Tina Turner.
