While he needs no introduction to any fan of TV and movie animation, Clive Smith is a pioneer in animated entertainment. He began his career in the UK before moving to Toronto and co-founding Nelvana in the early 70s. Clive’s many credits include the movies, ‘Rock & Rule’, ‘The Devil & Daniel Mouse’, ‘The Tale of Peter Rabbit’ and ‘Pippi Longstocking’. His numerous television specials and series credits include the animated ‘Beetlejuice’, ‘Cosmic Christmas’, ‘Star Wars: Ewoks’ and ‘Droids’ (Lucasfilm), ‘Inspector Gadget’, ‘Family Dog’ (for Steven Spielberg and Tim Burton), ‘Babar’ and ‘The Adventures of Tintin’. Since departing Nelvana, Clive has primarily been an executive producer for other artists. His debut graphic novel, The Rather Unusual Adventures of Ice Cream Girl and Mr. Licorice, marks Clive’s return to the creative driver’s seat, where he belongs. His collaborators on this graphic novel include Millena Shang, J. Torres, Fred Kennedy, Chuck Gammage, Linda Redlack, Hyein Lee, Nelson Wu, Michele Assarasakorn, Irma Kniivila, Ian Herring and Jennifer Lum.

The Rather Unusual Adventures of Ice Cream Girl and Mr. Licorice is described “a dark drama, telling the story of Stretch, a brilliant young man with a rare disorder that causes him to see the world as a cartoon. The condition gradually intensifies as he becomes more determined to understand it and find a cure before he becomes enveloped in his own vision.”
