Nova Scotian writer and rapper Sean Jordan aka Wordburglar will be debuting his brand new comic book “The Last Paper Route” at DCAF 2016 alongside friend and collaborator extraordinaire Dave Howlett! THE LAST PAPER ROUTE takes place in the 1990s in Harbour City – a town with a rich and mysterious paper-route history going back 100 years. Best friends Mikey and Arv are two up-and-coming paperboys who get promoted to the biggest paper-route in the city. They have no idea what perils and craziness they’ve inherited, but with the help of their boss, the enigmatic and tough-as-nails Mr. Beagles they’re determined to deliver their papers – despite the danger!

Paul Hammond is a Halifax-based comic artist, who writes & draws Hey You Guys, a weirdo comic about an annoying, delusional man who spends most of his time yelling things at you, and some of his time talking to small imaginary cats that live in his head. He also occasionally writes/draws Ding Dongs which is the one where those li’l mind-cats get to say mean things to each other that maybe you were considering saying yourself. Volumes of Hey You Guys and Ding Dongs will be available, as well as screenprinted art prints of various comics.
