It would be less expensive to buy a new one and have him sign it at a con.     I predict it'll go to an insane price-point even if he doesn't sign it.

Bidders will determine. What did that Vol. 1 with the misprinted cover go for, again? I recall Jeph expressing amazement. Amusement. Maybe both.

Until you come across some of his personal... stash.    Things that should never ever be PONDERED let alone discussed.   Things that make the worst deprived fan-speculation and shipping seem tame.

And of course the super-secret file that contains the REAL ending to the series.

Tai's word bubble in the last panel should have a question mark, not a period.

I hope Jeph doesn't change it. :parrot:

Rhetorical question, or statement in the form of a question. Either way, it's fine the way it is

It doesn't lack a question mark because it's rhetorical, it lacked a question mark because it's being said like a statement (as in, no raising in pitch at the end). Like "what."

More Dora/Tai cuteness.

Dora certainly is showing a more mature attitude here as is, surprisingly, Tai.  Definitely a fair bit of character growth and change for these two here.

There's actually a pretty cool collection of QC goodies that come with it. Don't think I would buy a laptop just to get them, but if I were after one (and he shipped to Australia, which he won't), then it would be tempting.

Akima: Jeph had made an offhand comment on twitter about nipples a few days ago, showing up "in this strip I'm drawing".

Of course, if you're wondering about the One Thousand comment - see the ebay listing.
