I'm postponing the publication of the next Trade Paperback ("Dork Side of the Goon: The Collected Dork Tower Vol. 7"). This is mainly because Dork Tower #29 finishes off a lot of major plot points, and deserves to be in the collection, which will now encompass issues 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29.

And it would suck to bring this out just a week after DT 29 hits the stands. Especially since the subject matter of Dork Tower 29 fits so well with the cover and tone of Dork Side of the Goon...

Yes, it's Matt's 19th Nervous Breakdown! A lot of stuff will come to the fore, and certain storylines will end! Aaaiiieeeee! The ain story should be about 20 pages. DT 29 goes to press soon.

On a happier note, there will be a LOT more "crunchy" material (ie, comics) in Dork Side Of The Goon now, and it may well have to be larger than 160 pages. With luck, however, I'll be able to keep the price the same.

In other news, I've got a great idea for the cover of the Dork Tower collection that will follow this. It'll be mostly a collection of web strips, along with the Clicky Special, and will be available in Spring 2005. I'm not telling the name, because then the cover will be obvious. I wanna draw it up first.
