Bruce McCall wife: Was Bruce McCall married?

Bruce McCall, a Canadian author and illustrator whose satirical illustrations for National Lampoon and The New Yorker conjured up a plutocratic dream world of luxury zeppelin travel, indoor golf courses, and cars like the Bulgemobile Airdreme was married to Polly Bier McCall.

Bruce, who was born on May 10, 1935, died on May 5, 2023, at the age of 87, at Calvary Hospital.

His wife revealed that he died of Parkinson’s disease.

There is no information available about how Bruce and his wife met or how long they were married.

Polly’s husband began his illustration career in the 1950s, without any formal technical training, drawing cars for Ford Motor Company in Toronto. He left advertising after several decades to pursue opportunities in the publishing industry.

He moved to New York and was hired by National Lampoon, where he established himself as an artist with both intelligent and whimsical humor. McCall also wrote sketches for Saturday Night Live for a short time. The retrofuturistic theme pervades much of McCall’s work.

He illustrated magazine covers for The New Yorker, Car and Driver, and other publications.

He was also a satirist who wrote essays about some of modern life’s social ironies. He contributed frequently to The New Yorker’s “Shouts & Murmurs” section.
