At last, “Tabloia Weekly Magazine” is back in action! And what better way to kick off our official web-launch, than with the revisiting of our most sought-after exposee, “The Lump!”<\/a> (The trade paperback was collected in 2006! You can still buy it on our MERCHANDISE PAGE<\/a>, fans!) <\/em><\/p>\n

Here’s the original introduction that accompanied the historic story, which first appeared in “Tabloia #572”<\/a> back in 2004! (Hurry! … the five-issue “TABLOIA” run, featuring the first appearances of <\/em>The Lump<\/a>, Doris Danger<\/a>, Dick Hammer<\/a>, and Dr. DeBunko<\/a><\/em> is STILL AVAILABLE for purchase on our <\/em>MERCHANDISE PAGE<\/a>!) Enjoy! -Rob Oder, Editor-in-Chief! <\/em><\/p>\n

…It fills all of us here at Tabloia with pride to finally announce this latest feature, which has taken us twelve years to investigate, research, and secure the rights to publish! Here at last is the story you’ve been demanding and gossiping over since the news hit, and the terrible and bizarre events seeped forth day-by-day in your local papers! Our first installment of the shocking, most anticipated tale in our history of publishing! Ladies and gentlemen, with great pleasure we present the exclusive, official adaptation of “The Moe Beckett Head Transplanting Massacre!” Enjoy!<\/em><\/p>\n

-Rob Oder, Editor-in-Chief!<\/em><\/p>\n

Sorry, fans! When we <\/em>here at “Tabloia Weekly Magazine: The Web Comic<\/em>” began running reprints of “The <\/strong>Lump”<\/strong>, a certain then-President (whom you may have seen me refer to, in a tv interview, as “Mr. Dick-Wad Thompson” – That was just a joke!) suggested a budgetary “abridged” version! <\/em><\/p>\n

Well he’s gone now, so for the first time in it’s web publication history, we’re going back and ADDING THE PAGES WE’VE SKIPPED! And THEN we’re going to keep publishing THE REST of the story! So sit back and enjoy the complete, unabridged, full-of-too-much,-unnecessary,-probably-should-have-been-edited-down-the-way-“Dick-Wad”-suggested “LUMP”!<\/em> – Rob Oder, Editor-in-Chief, Tabloia Weekly Magazine!<\/p>\n
