Well, folks, the convention year is over for us. According to our current plans, we have no events scheduled until next May. But what better way to end the season than by going back to our old home of Montréal!? We had a great time once again. For the first time ever, Dale’s sketch list was almost full with pre-orders alone. We originally were only going to go for one day because we thought it would be enough, but in the end we went both days and actually had to turn down six requests!

Warm thanks to Oscar for organizing this show; keep up the great work, and hats off on your great guest list this year! We loved meeting Herb Trimpe and his wife Patricia, had a hoot chatting with Howard Chaykin, discovered that Dale and Cary Nord have a lot in common, caught up a bit with J. Torres (thanks for your input, J!), Serge Lapointe, Wes Craig and Tom Fowler, met Ramon Perez and lots more cool folks! I’d have to say that Kate Bradley provided the sweetest moment of the show, though, and it was juuust as we were closing up shop. Thanks, Kate!



Very special thanks to Kin (a long-time fan and friend) who travelled from Quebec City even though he didn’t feel well, and to Joe (such a nice guy!) who came all the way from Vermont to see Dale.

Thanks also to everyone who came by, got a sketch or just chatted: Michel, Alain and Jonathan, who are practically our “convention family” by now; Yan, Pat (thanks for your patience!), Auguste, the two Davids, Marshall and Debbie, Devin (and his posse – Colin and his daughter, etc.!), Greg, Jeremy (thanks so much for your understanding), Pierre from Brossard (and his quiet friend!), Richard, William, Guy-Daniel, and Alvern (who came to get a sketch for his brother Mike).

YOU are the reason we do these shows and YOU make these events great!

As always, we’re including a few sketches done at the show; enjoy and see you next year!

Dale wouldn't normally do such an elaborate request, but Yan had been waiting over a year for this!
