Leanne Franson (born 1963 in Regina, Saskatchewan) is a Canadian illustrator and cartoonist. She illustrates picture books, children's novels, educational texts, pamphlets, and magazines.[1] She currently lives in Martensville, Saskatchewan, near Saskatoon.[2] She is bilingual in English and French.[3] She has an adopted son from China who is homeschooled.[4] She also has two cats, Sadie and Alley.[5]
She is known for her semi-autobiographical comics featuring the female bisexual character Liliane, Bi-Dyke.[6] These have been included in various anthologies and collected in books. Her comics bring a bisexual woman's perspective to the queer comic scene, including some controversy. For example, in Oh... (1992) her "full frontal" image of a woman putting on a bra without any underwear on, required a full-page warning prior to its appearance.[7]
"Everything changes the world in some way. One person who feels alone who finds a like mind in a comic is a change. One person who is down and is inspired by a comic to laugh is a change. One person who had an unchallenged bigoted idea who was provoked to rethink it, and vote differently is a change." - Leanne Franson[8]
