Hah! Prepare to wait for bit. Sorry.
There might be something in Tales of the Vampires, out in November I think...
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Yeah, I saw a limited edition HC of Stray Toasters at my local comics shop and it was $80. Don't know what extras there were though, or if it was signed.
Uh-huh. I paid that for a limited edition hardback of "Chasing Dogma," signed by Kevin Smith. Of course, it was a present, so I felt justified.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Is Fray #8 the last of the series?
I need to get a hold of the back issues as soon as possible as soon as I am out of debt.
I'm not looking for spoilers (but wouldn't mind some--hint, hint), but did Fray mesh well with what we saw at the end of BtVS?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Anne, it's funny you should ask that. (White fonted): Joss brings that up on the letters page at the end of the issue. Essentially he says that he Jossed himself...

Art Crawl!!!
Interesting. . . guess I'll have to read the letters.

Fray 8 is wonderful, but it would be worth it just for the letters alone.

Another social casualty...
I'm going to have to go with the Holy Shit! crowd.
Want. More. Now.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Loved the letters section. Loved loved loved it.

They're probably not going to include the letters section in the paperback, are they? Has this been with every issue (did they do something in the first, like an essay?)

There were letters columns in each issue, but only the second issue had information directly from Joss himself about how he developed the idea for the comic. (This information was relayed by the editor, Scott Allie).
After reading this issue, I have to agree with all of the comments. Oh my! And the letters column was absolutely hilarious.
I did find it interesting that Joss wrote in the letter column that he can't see anybody but Karl drawing Mel -- that indicates that if we want to see more Fray, it may take a long while.
I'm definitely going back and re-reading the entire series tonight.
