Leaving on a Jet Plane - DFG VP heads to Vancouver to open new office

By Fawney Bologna
Special to DFG ONLINE
dateline: Carnage City International Airport

Carnage City's favourite son, DFG Vice-President and Co-publisher Darryl Andrews, left the home of DFG Comics and its subisidiary companies this morning at 6 a.m. to begin a new venture.  With the economy swinging into recovery it was decided that it was time that DFG open a new corporate office in Vancouver B.C.  Mr. Andrews was pegged as the man to do it.  "Darryl has long been our point man on new ventures," said DFG President and Co-Publisher, Dan Graves, "He headed up our radio programs in the early 1980's and our TV, Film and Video departments in the late 1980's.  He has recently been responsible for merchandising and licensing. He is the man postioned to take us into the next decade.  When we met earlier this year it was decided that Vancouver would be the natural place to be given all the potential tie-ins to the 2010 Winter Olympics being held around that city."  Word has it that Mr. Andrews will also be working with his brother Markus Andrews, another DFG superstar artist on some exciting new projects for DFG!

There wasn't a dry eye in the airport as crowds gathered to wish the celebrity co-publisher, artist and director well as he departed.  As he passed through the gates, the Carnage City Radio Symphony Orchestra and Chorus were on hand to sing a moving rendition of John Denver's "Leaving on a Jet Plane."  As he approached the gate Mr. Andrews to one look back, with a tear visible in his eye, gave a gentle wave and passed through the gate.  "I'm going to miss him," said Dan Graves, "we have worked so closely together over the years, and while he has often been away at other branch offices such as Newmarket, the Beaches Pickering, Warkworth, and lately, Peterborough, I know his heart finds its home in Carnage City." Mr. Graves wiped a tear and turned away as the orchestra and chorus concluded the last verse of the song with the words, "babe I hate to go,"
