Not the poster artist edit
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 – LAC data at VIAF ; ref#1 and ref#2 (with images)
- that guy – born Windsor, Ontario, resides in Los Angeles – 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)

Bedard has won these annual awards twice each, the latter jointly with his illustrators.
