Ryan Sohmer writes the hugely popular webcomics Least I Could Do and Looking For Group. I caught up with Ryan (who seemed to be deathly ill) at the Calgary Comic Expo and chatted about the comics, working with artist Lar deSouza, and also a couple of major life developments he’s recently experienced.
The Fabler was present and accounted for at this year’s Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo, which took place April 24th/25th.
We met a lot of nifty people, chatted with some interesting creative talent, and were blown away by this year’s costumed con-goers. Click the above link for a detailed retrospective on the Con.

Second in a series of personal observations made about the Canadian Comic Industry.
Does social media make you go BLARG? Do you tweet about your drawings more than you actually draw?
Whether your answer is the former or the latter, you should read this post. Also if you just want a handy directory to aid in Twitter-stalking your favorite comic creators.

The Fabler Blog: Where Progress is Job # 1.
We’ve reached that magical 100 day benchmark that political pundits love to reflect on in new governments. If we were Barack Obama, there would already be comics featuring Fabler guest appearances popping up in comic shop windows everywhere.
Here’s my (Kevin de Vlaming’s) own take on the Blog so far, and where we’re headed next.
