Description
Redcoats-ish 2 collects more comic strips from Jeff Martin's War of 1812 stories, featuring the misadventures of John and George, two not so fearless men of the Canadian militia. Heeding the call to defend Canada against the invading American army, John and George are now doing their best to be heroes, whilst also working hard to avoid battles, marching, danger or anything else that involves effort.
More mad-cap adventures this time, as our hapless heroes stumble into Tecumseh, Laura Secord, the burning of the White House and the destruction of Toronto, I mean, York. Niigaanwewidam James Sinclair guest writes a story about their indigenous counterparts in a twist of perspective.
