PreTeena fans - In case you missed it, creator Allison Barrows recently posted this excellent bit of news after reading your comments on the PreTeena Signs Off entry:
To all of you, I'm humbled. Your kind words leave me choked up - again - at what I was deeply reluctant to do. Rama and Laurel, I ended the strip without a "goodbye" to fans because it's not over yet: traditional newspaper syndication is at an end (we all know the future of print: RIP), but I'm currently working on a series of graphic novels with a new publisher. PreTeena went to ComicCon a little over a week ago and was enthusiastically received by major book stores who are excited about stocking and promoting PreTeena in its new form.
I "ended" the strip without ending it: I always imagined Teena and Gordo together, but now we have a little window into their future. The books will give me an opportunity to "grow" them.
Please keep your eyes open: You'll be hearing from and seeing Teena, Stick, Jeri, Johnson, Gordo, Goose and the rest soon!
With gratitude,
Allison
Wow, that's cool that it hasn't really ended.

Allison, I hope the new venture is being successful. I'll be watching for you on Oprah some day. . .
