Back in January, Matt Dow sent an email filled to the brim with new CIH? covers. One of them was this:
David Birdsong made a rough and sent it to Dave:

| "Barvark" is a Batvark like-a-look who spends his nights in bars. He's not in THIS issue. We should probably fix that typo. |
He asked if I'd finish the colors. In the process, I added a hand and some new dialogue:

Next Week: How many people DOES it take to make a CIH? cover?

Okay,
This one needs a BIT of explanation, I wrote the joke as Batvark's SISTER, because that's funny. Virgil marries Batvark's sister, and Batvark can't stand the idea of his sister sleeping with Virgil. Hilarity ensues.
What I DIDN'T KNOW, was that Batvark's cousin BatvarkGirl gets introduced in Attractive Cousins #1, and that she (apparently) wants to bang Batvark (I haven't gotten my copies of Attractive Cousins #1 from my LCS, so I'm just going by what I was told when this cover was getting kicked around.) , so they changed it to her. Which is an entirely different joke.
I mean MY gag was that Batvark couldn't go out because he was a nervous wreck over the idea of his sister getting banged like a screen door in a hurricane. Dave's gag is that Batvark wouldn't go out because he's spying on his cousin getting banged like a screen door in a hurricane.
I wonder if we can get a 1 900 number set up so fans can vote on the ending...

Well, I voted on the other one back in '89. Sure. I'm game.
"A bit of explanation"? Well, I guess nobody's reading these but the True Front-Facing Believers by this point, and that seems to be how Dave wants it. Dave is basically Jim Davis on this strip now, huh?
