Cameron Morrison, a native of Richmond County and governor from 1921 to 1925.
Although Morrison was a colorful public figure, described as "bluff and hearty in his bearing and manner," no one expected more than "unimaginative, routine leadership from him." Much to the surprise of his friends, his administration was one of the most progressive the state had known.
Morrison's successes far outranked his failures; even his programs that were rejected suggest that he was a man of vision.

 Seaguy - Grant Morrison, Cameron Stewart - Graphic novel review
Grant Morrison is famed for his weird and wonderful approach to comics, often using the surreal and the bizarre in an attempt to demonstrate the evils of the world around us.
As with most recent Morrison, the book is overflowing with bizarre ideas and concepts, from the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh who built the Moon instead of a pyramid, to Seaguy's cigar-chomping sidekick - a gravity-defying tuna that hates water.
As is usually the case with Morrison's art partners, Stewart does a great job of keeping up with the bizarre requests made of him and adds a lot of character to the book with his clean style and attention to background detail.

Almost from the graveside at Salisbury, Governor Gardner announced the appointment of Cameron ("Cam") Morrison, 61, of Charlotte to be the successor.
Morrison received much credit, took more, for inaugurating the $150,000,000 program which gave his state the best hard-surfaced road system in the south.
A regular Dry Democrat who supported the Brown Derby in 1928, Senator- designate Morrison was at once confronted with a major and perhaps controlling decision in the case of his fellow townsman.

 Politics in North Carolina Between The Two Wars
Cameron Morrison, elected governor in 1920, crusaded for an extensive network of roads connecting the county seats and major towns, and, with the aid of a remarkably able and popular officer of the North Carolina Good Roads Association,
Morrison's administration also increased expenditures for public education, including extending the school term to six months, strengthening teacher certification requirements, establishing a salary schedule for teachers, consolidating small schools, and aiding counties in the construction of school buildings.
If Morrison earned the title of the "Good Roads Governor," his successor, Angus Wilton McLean of Robeson County, deserved that of the "Businessman's Governor," for he modernized the administration of state government by creating new agencies, abolishing old ones, and reallocating functions of others.

Morrison and Stewart are a team that I will follow to the ends of the earth.
While Morrison is dropping at least eight new concepts here (the seven lead characters and the "team" of the Seven Soldiers) I wonder what this will lead to if anything.

 NEWSARAMA - GRANT MORRISON TALKS SEAGUY
Illustrated by Cameron Stewart, the three issue miniseries is at the same time, new-school Morrison in terms of its wild ideas, but at the same time, it’s old school as well thanks to its inherent…sweetness and gentleness.
I find it amusing and interestiing that Morrison sees himself as leading the lighthearted charge of "this new attitude," when his former writing partner Millar is essentially the voice of the badass movement (Authority, Wanted, etc).
Actually, the reason that Morrison left Marvel for DC was because he wanted to do some stuff like this.

 Cinescape - Home - Editorial
Apart from his occasional chess matches with Death, there's not really all that much for a hero to do in a world with no need for heroes.
But unlike Morrison's other recent work such as THE FILTH, or previous work like THE INVISIBLES, there's enough of an undercurrent (pardon the pun) of normality in SEAGUY that it draws you in (or should I say "pulls you under"?) despite the oddities that ensue throughout.
It's all vastly unsettling in the same way that the best dystopian novels are unsettling, and for much the same reasons: as happens in those novels, Morrison takes the everyday world, tweaks it slightly out of recognition, and then puts it back in place like a changeling waiting to reveal its true form.

Eh, also just ok. Morrison's writing is so manic and frenetic that I can't seem to focus.
But there's no mistaking the value of Morrison's sprawling concepts, so let me preface this by again saying that it will read better when collected.

However, Morrison isn't doing any political soapboxing here.
It's more a general knock on a society that not only has stopped trying, but seems oblivious to the idea that there might be anything to try.
Artist Cameron Stewart perfectly matches the tone of the script - this is a world that looks cartoonishly perfect in style, until you realise what's actually in it.
