DFG Fan Awards Poll 2 Closes -- Louise Beats the Competition

By Prof. Martin R. Shoedel
Official DFG Historian

Well fans, the second poll of our 2008 DFG Fan Awards has closed! This second installment was for the fan of the year and we are pleased to announce that Louise Expatcanuck has won this prestigious honour by narrowly defeating Jimmy (age 8). In fact, Louise and Jimmy (age 8), were tied neck and neck in the polls until the last 26 minutes of voting until a last minute vote came in pushing Louise over the top and knocking Jimmy (age 8) down the the secondary position. DFG enthusiast and collector Javier Santamotzarello came in a distant third.

Louise will receive a special DFG original art piece signed by the ENTIRE DFG staff, suitable for framing.

Jimmy (age 8) will receive a free copy of the Spy Classics Annual #1 (origins issue) due out later this year.

Javier will receive a free "DFG or bust" collectors' button.

Javier, who was interviewed late this afternoon by the Canadian Comic Insider was philosophical about his honourable mention. "Well," he noted, "I haven't been a DFG collector as long as Joe Macrel and Johnny Seamore, and those guys didn't even get a single vote, so I guess I should be happy... and I'm very pleased with the button. Any new piece of DFG memorabilia added to my collection makes me happy."

Louise was notified by email and sent this response, "You're darned right I'm the fan of the year. I didn't plan on being beat out by a petulant little 8 year old snot-nose. Everyone knows 8 year olds aren't fans they're just punks."

At press time, Jimmy (age 8) was unavailable for comment but was reported to be crying in his mother's arms.

Watch this space for part 3 of the 2008 DFG Fan Awards, coming soon!
