==Early Life and Training==
Born in Toronto in 1926, Lewis Parker was the eldest of four born to Gilbert and Dorothy Parker. From an early age, Parker showed passion, determination and discipline in teaching himself to draw. So focused on drawing was Lewis that his mother, concerned for his social life, would invite his schoolmates over after school, hoping this would encourage Lewis to play. Lewis responded by sketching favourite cartoon characters for his delighted peers. By the age of 12, Lewis had amassed dozens of sketchbooks filled with people and storybook characters.〔http://lewisparker.ca/biography.html〕
In 1939, Parker attended Central Technical School in Toronto. Ever self-motivated, he applied his disciplined approach to all studies. Seldom openly defiant, Parker submitted his own versions of assignments, always far more detailed than required.〔http://lewisparker.ca/biography.html〕
From 1941 to 1944, Parker apprenticed at Rabjohn Illustrators, where he met a significant mentor, Bert Grassick.〔http://www.cbu.ca/sites/cbu.ca/files/pdfs/li-LEWIS%20PARKER.pdf〕 His formative experience at Rabjohn influenced the connections he later made with artists in Toronto’s art scene. Enlisting in the Canadian Army in World War 11 between 1944 and 1946, Parker gained valuable experience as a cartoonist and illustrator for the Maple Leaf, Canada’s overseas newspaper.
