Quick Quotes

SALUTE
"I've been a fan of Dave Elston's for years, from his disheveled, scrunched-up hockey players, to his eccentric yet oddly endearing horses (ever notice how Elston's horses always look more intelligent than his hockey players?). As an Albertan, born and bred, I salute him for tackling the land of the prairie oyster and the Chinook headaches. Well done! (And for the record, page 72 That's absolutely true. I swear.)"
— Will Ferguson, Giller Prize winner for 419

 
  

SICK SIXTH SENSE
"As someone who lived in Alberta for 17 years and who had the privilege of working with Dave at the Calgary Sun for a decade, he always delivered … a nice sick sixth sense of humor. This one just adds to his legacy. Well done, Dwarfus!"
— Bill Davidson, former Sport Editor, Calgary Sun
