Here we go again<br \/>\nwith another long, long, update of Tabloia-<br \/>\nrelated, unsolicited SPAM! I mean FUN!<\/p>\n<p>Incompetent as we are in the arenas of<br \/>\ncomputers and emailing, we thought and<br \/>\nhoped we had figured out how to send you<br \/>\nan email last week! But through<br \/>\ninvestigative efforts, we&#8217;ve since learned what<br \/>\na piss-poor, technology-illiterate company this<br \/>\nis! If for some reason you DID already get this<br \/>\nemail, please disregard the old one!<\/p>\n<p>* * * * * * *<\/p>\n<p>ITEM OF EXCITING NOTE!<\/p>\n<p>At last!

IT ALREADY DID! Last<br \/>\nWednesday, January 26, 2006!<br \/>\nThey&#8217;re bound to sell out quick, because<br \/>\norders were so small, there simply aren&#8217;t any<br \/>\ncopies anywhere! Best to get up right now,<br \/>\ngrab your keys, leave your computer on, put<br \/>\non some pants! Bring some nonperishable<br \/>\nfood, and maybe a sleeping bag! Get to your<br \/>\nclosest comic shop, wait in front of their door<br \/>\n(like you would wait for rock concert tickets<br \/>\nto go on sale), and be ready to pick up their<br \/>\nonly copy of DORIS DANGER, the moment<br \/>\nit&#8217;s put on their shelves! Product description<br \/>\nbelow!<\/p>\n<p>Special thanks goes out to Wesley Ruff,<br \/>\nfor his hard work and dedication with<br \/>\nthis issue&#8217;s logos, layouts and design, and<br \/>\ngreat cover colors (included, in this very<br \/>\nemail!

Phenomenal Tabloia cover artist<br \/>\nDamon Thompson has returned in gorgeous<br \/>\nred, black and white! Chris is frantically<br \/>\n(and egocentrically) compiling interviews,<br \/>\nsketches, page layouts, secret messages, and<br \/>\nessays, to bulk the book up to a wasteful 152<br \/>\npages!
