While the strip is mostly right, it's not the whole story. Keep it under your hat, but the truth is that part of the recent delays have been because of the next books. :)

I have to apologize, again, for further filler, ladies and gents. As the comic says (or rather, will say, as I type this :D ) I've been trying hard to get a bunch of (often overdue) work done before the end of the year. I've bee...

Really. This was an actual request. I was in a hurry and may have gotten the words muddled a bit, but I suspect that wouldn't have made much difference.

An early option for the dialogue, which of course suggested a slightly risque` punchline. :)
