In keeping with tradition, we’re ringing in the new year by looking at some of the stuff that’s impacted our little corner of the interweb over the past twelve months. This includes some of the news bits the Fabler Blog has reported on, some of the changes and landmarks the main site has experienced, and of course, a Coles Notes list of the interviewees we’ve featured on the site throughout 2010.

Adam Bourret wrote a comic book called I’m Crazy, which was about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Gay Romance, Hallucinations, Drugs, and Secrets. If this doesn’t pique your initial interest, you probably wouldn’t be interested in this interview and I would instead highly recommend visiting the official website for the Family Circus (http://www.familycircus.com/).
If you are interested, in this post Adam talks about winning the Best English Award at Expozine, how people living with OCD have responded to his book, and why he wouldn’t do another regular webcomic. He also talks about his next book, “Mighty Ernestine”. Awesomeness ensues.

Marta Chudolinska put together a 90 page graphic novel entirely out of linocuts. If that’s not impressive, I’ll eat my hat.
Back + Forth, the graphic novel in question, also made the Doug Wright Award shortlist for Best Book this year.
I talked to Marta about her thoughts regarding the nomination, her favorite comics, and Roland Barthes.

Now that the Doug Wright Awards and the Joe Shuster Awards have announced their 2010 finalists/nominees, I figure it’d probably be in everyone’s best interests for the Fabler Blog to go over some of the top contenders this year.
Hey, if something so vapid as the annual Academy Awards can have legions of bloggers reviewing their picks for the ceremonies, Canadian comic creators certainly deserve at least a little of the same.
