Special to DFG ONLINE!
Carnage City Convention Centre

Overcome with surprise as he was led into the Carnage City Convention Centre earlier this evening, DFG superstar and comic book great, Peter Repovski, had this to say, "What a surprise... I never expected this."  The festivities were in honour of his 40th birthday and expertly organized with care and detail by his better half, Pauline Houle.  "I was told that I was on my way to deliver a lifetime achievement award to DFG president and co-publisher Dan Graves, I never thought the party was in my honour... I am humbled."   With well over 1200 people in attendance, Mr. Repovski was quickly led to the microphone where he greeted his family, friends, and many adoring fans. "I don't know what to say, except, don't forget to renew your subscriptions to DFG. Oh, and thank you for the party." 

Dan, Jimmy Repas, Peter

The festivities were a welcome diversion from the ongoing crisis on the west coast, where comic book legend, Todd Abbot, is still in hospital recovering from a gunshot wound following the attempt on his life.  DFG president Dan Graves explained, "With all the labour disruptions, the opening of the west-coast office, the lawsuits, the hostile take-over bid, and the attempt on Todd's life, we are just happy to put all that aside for one evening and celebrate this wonderful moment with Pete.  He is truly one of the greats of the industry and has always been a close personal friend.  I am honoured to be with him here tonight.  I think Pauline did a great job pulling this all together.  Congratulations, Peter, on 40 years... may there be many more."

                                                                                                                   

DFG VP Darryl Andrews took time out from his busy west-coast schedule to send this telegram..."Pete:  I hope you have a wonderful day STOP Sorry I can't be there STOP  Please accept the best wishes of all the DFG west-coast team STOP And watch out for the bad kalbassa STOP.

Noted guests in attendance were Whitney Houston, Jerry Mathers, the Ecumenical Patriarch, Jerry Lewis, The Amazing Kreskin, Mikail Gorbachev, Sheldon Moldoff, Stan Lee, and Desi Arnez Jr. Pete's family was also well represented by his sisters and his father, a well-known member of the Macedonian community, Mr. Jimmy Repas. 

In honour of the occasion, DFG has released a special limited edition of M&M's with Peter's baby picture.  These will be in limited supply so order this special collectors' item while supplies last.  Cheques and money orders can be sent to DFG HQ, Carnage City (no COD's please).

Congratulations Peter, from all of us at DFG!
