In November, the next volume of the Fanatagraphics series comes out… and then in December, Titan Books is releasing their reprint of the original. How many people are going to order the $5.99 black-and-white paperback thinking they’re getting the large, full-color $49.99 hardcover with twice as many strips?

(Also coming in December is the Titan reprint of Go Fly a Kite, Charlie Brown.)
