DFG Comics has extended a warm welcome to U.S. President Barak Obama on his first trip to Canada. A delegation from DFG HQ were received at Rideau Hall where, following a private audience with the Governer General and the American President, Mr. Obama was presented with an original piece of Todd Abbot artwork commemorating the occasion. The artwork (pictured above) features Canada's Favourite Adventure Strip Character since 1981 (Captain Nepto), giving the "thumbs-up" sign to the President. In honour of the occasion, DFG is releasing a limited number of signed prints of this beautiful Todd Abbot piece. Glossy 8 x 10's are available for a limited time (signed and numbered by the artist) for the low, low price of $99.99 (+ shipping and handling and applicable sales taxes). The artwork is suitable for framing and will hold pride of place in many living rooms and offices for years to come. DFG is currently in conversations with Canada Post to have the artwork appear on an upcoming postage stamp.

can displaced Canadians still buy the stamps? Also, put me down for three of those framed prints...they will make nice gifts. The cheque is in the mail.

Dear Louise:
Your prints are in the mail. When the stamps become available we will send you a special corner block of four.

This latest artwork reminds me of the piece DFG created to commemorate the time Spymaster and President Ronald Reagan sang "Irish Eyes are Smiling" right before they busted some commie heads.
Good times.
Dear Anonymous:
You are correct. That beautiful piece has long been missing from the DFG Archives... perhaps some DFG fan from way back still has a copy... If so, we would love to post it to our Fan Club page.
Sincerely,
