THE JOE SHUSTER AWARDS 
you left off Kate Beaton! She’s in New York now but she’s Cape Breton through and through! Plus her comics are wonderful (harkavagrant.com, Marvel’s Strange Tales, the New Yorker)
Actually, Kate was announced as a guest for the show months ago! Calgary just got around to announcing everyone else.
