 From about 1920 Frise shared an office with the journalist and Vimy ridge veteran Greg Clark ( 1892 – 77 ) . They became friends , and Frise began providing colour illustrations to Clark 's tales in the Star of the pair 's misadventures in Toronto — Frise tall and gangly , and Clark short and stout . A selection appeared in a volume titled Which We Did in 1936 . Frise talked of their <unk> to the Star : " We 've fried eggs on the city hall steps . We caulked my house and flooded the parlor with cement . I once let Greg persuade me to get a steam shovel to do my spring digging and ruined my garden . Perhaps this book is our most foolish adventure . "
