Ok folks, it's that time of the month when I post the little bits from Diamond Comics Distributions Previews Advance Orders Catalog of note to us SiP fans. Now we all know that when Terry want's to keep the story a suprise, he sends Diamond a bogus solicitation regarding what the issue is about. Well, Terry has gone on record as saying that all of the solicitations so far for 2001 are in fact bogus(or stretching the truth a great deal) The solicitation for #40 obviously falls into that catagory, but here it is, for your edification(and chuckles...)

Abstract Studios
Strangers in Paradise volume 3 #40
Is Francine with the right brother? She's beginning to have serious doubts after having met her fiances's famous rock star brother, Griffen Silver. But Katchoo offers a suprising solution to the dillemna-let's all go to the Bahamas for the weekend and see what happens! Put on your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride when bikinis, tequila, and too much fun in the sun bring out the truth in this bizarre foursome.
b&w, 24pg. $2.95
