Word has just arrived in the DFG News Office that DFG Colourist, Flora Lovartalot, has been found alive in the jungles of Mbingo! Yes, that's right, Flora is alive! Over the past several months, DFG fans have been mourning the loss of one Canada's comic book greats. Last November, when DFG Comics moved into its new head office, tragedy struck when an untethered shelf of artwork fell on the popular colourist. After several days of keeping vigil, DFG fans were saddened to learn that Flora had succumbed to her injuries. It was a sad day for DFG, and an especially sad one for comic book legend Todd Abbot, who had been romantically linked to Flora in the days leading up to her death. But late last night, DFG legal counsel, Sir Milton Goldfarbstein, Q.C., K.G. PhD, LLB, who was on Safari in his birth country of Mbingo in Africa, stumbled onto an ancient village populated by a primitive, pre-industrial civilization deep in the jungle, in which he discovered that Flora Lovartalot is alive and well and being worshipped as a goddess by the local tribes. Goldfarbstein immediately notified DFG president and co-publisher Dan Graves and has begun legal proceedings against Ms. Lovartalot and Todd Abbot, who are now believed to have staged the entire accident as an elaborate piece of life-insurance fraud. When reached for comment, DFG VP and co-publisher Darryl Andrews made the following public statement:
"We are, of course, greatly relieved that Flora is alive. However, if she is in
anyway invovled in any kind of fraudulent activity with respect to the
corporation known as DFG Comics she (and any accesory) will be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law."
At press time, Chief Smith, head of DFG security has initiated a full investigation.
