Hector Brault was an illustrator and cartoonist from Quebec, Canada. He the artist of 'Tom Brinfin et Dodolf', a satire of the fascist movement, that appeared in Le Samedi in Quebec from 1942. For the weekly Le Petit Journal from Montréal, he drew the strips 'Oncle Pacifique' (under the pseudonym Vic Martin) and 'Casimir' (under the pseudonym Tom Lucas) from 1935 to 1945. He used pseudonyms to prevent that the often satirical topics of the strips could get him in trouble in his personal life.
