Interview: Scott Ferguson, creator of Scout Crossing and Fabler Contest Winner

September 22, 2010 – 6:30 am

For those of you who haven’t been paying attention, The Fabler just recently concluded our first major contest over in this here corner of the interwebs. The winners were announced on Monday, chosen from finalists voted in by YOU. We figured, hey, if you liked their work enough to vote them into the finals, maybe you would like to know a little more about the talented individuals behind the comics.

The Grand Prize winner of this particular contest was Kutztown, Pennsylvania resident and illustrator Scott Ferguson, for his comic Scout Crossing.

The Fabler Blog Looks at the 2010 Joe Shuster Award Nominees

March 24, 2010 – 12:09 pm

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.

December 1, 2009 – 11:11 pm

This post is for those who, like me, leave all to most of their holiday shopping until December. We at the Fabler relate to your last-minute shopping stresses, and, in an attempt to make your life easier, have come up with some suggestions for gift ideas for comic fans.

Really, these are all great gift ideas for anyone, regardless of how ‘into’ comics they are already. It should be noted that this x-mas shopping list, like much of the rest of the Fabler Blog, has a distinct emphasis on Canuck content.

First in a series of personal observations made about the Canadian Comic Industry.

Community: it’s a word, and it begins with C. It also ends with Y. But just how important is it to YOU?
