We have just learned that DFG Comics has taken disciplinary action against its production manager Frank Daniels. A press release from DFG corporate HQ issued by V.P. and Co-Publisher Darryl Andrews stated, "It has come to our attention that Mr. Daniels has recently used an inappropriate tone when answering fan mail on our fan club site. Mr. Daniels has always been a stellar employee and hard working member of the DFG staff. It is unfortunate that a recent increase in his workload has caused him to become unbalanced. He has been enrolled in an anger management course and has had a letter placed in his file. We apologize to any fans that were offended by either his remarks or tone." Mr. Daniels, who coordinates the production schedules, printing and online publishing of all DFG publications is also widely known as "DFG's Answer Man." He earned this nickname some years ago due to his encyclopedic knowledge of the DFG Universe. Speculation has mounted that Mr. Daniel's recent psycholigical break-down was due the fact that his workload had become unmanageable after the untimely death of DFG colourist Flora Lovartalot. Mr. Daniels, who is known to be quite a multi-tasker, took on ALL of Ms. Lovartalot's former duties in addition to his already overflowing workload. When reached at the DFG Peterborough office, Mr. Andrews added, "I have very little to add to the press release except that Mr. Daniels has been temporarily relieved of his 'public' duties for the period of two months. The fan page will be co-administered in the interim by the team of Martin R. Schoedel (the official DFG Historian), and Antiquda Recordafile (the official DFG Researcher). Fans are still welcome to submit their fan mail and questions to our Official Fan Page."

Dear Louise:
Thank you so much for your kind words... we are always willing to hear from our wonderful fans... and we are sorry about that little incident at last year's Carnage City ComiCon(see our fan page for details). Please send us your ideas. Spychiatrist has been a big hit. However, due to financial constraints at DFG we have opted to send you a life-time subscription to ALL of our titles instead of a cheque.
With every good wish,
Antiquda Recordafile,
DFG Researcher (and interim Answer Woman).
