Yes! Would you be kind enough to announce it for me? I'm rehearsing for a
play right now and am incredibly busy.

Stores must order by the end of this month (Jan. 27 is the usual cut-off),
but the comic itself will be out in March. My personal comic book store
(not that I own it, it is where I shop) said he may be willing to do mail
orders for fans without a local shop.

Thanks!

For those who don't know, this includes a far fetched but fun FK parody by me
with art by Joe Staton (Scooby Doo, E-Man, Guy Gardner, Green Lantern, etc.)
It is published by Shanda Fantasy Publishing. This is the one which was
suppose to have been published in October, but had to be delayed to some sort
of glitch or something.

Because I was asked the last time this came out - I will be happy to
autograph these if my FK droogs will send them to me with a
self-addressed-stamped
envelope. I just can't afford postage right now :-(  I also can not be
responsible if they get lost in the mail.

Any comic book store should be able to get copies of these if you call in the
next few days to pre-order. Also, I've spoken with the gent who owns the
store I use, and he will do mail order (I'll announce details when it is out on
the shelves). I have no idea what he'll charge for postage/ handling, and I
want
to stress that HE is the responsible party, not me. But he can have me
autograph comics when he gets orders and has easy access to extra copies (the
publisher is also a customer). But we prefer you order from your local store to
help
them out.

Subject: Garlic soup

I know this was adressed earlier, but I never got news.  I remember a
loooooong time ago, someone started talking about colds, and remedies, (and
the lack of the all powerful dimatap) and someone mentioned Garlic soup.
THEN someone wrote a story about Nick making some Garlic soup for poor sick
Natalie (who was duely impressed)  There was the recipie for garlic soup in
all that mess, and I was wondering, if anyone has it, or if it's connected
to a story, or something.  Garlic's my favorite vegtable, and I'd love to
get it.  (do you think that Vampires are allergic to Garlic flavored
non-stick spray too?)  THanks!

I don't know if/what the recipe was ever posted
before, but I checked my favorite recipie site
(allrecipes.com) and found several.  I think I'm going
to have to try some of these myself! (The Roasted
Garlic Potato Soup catches my fancy first...)
