Back to something from last year

So did Dark Horse eventually come out with their Gor reprint or did they drop it?

I believe it very quietly dropped from their schedules.

Tragic. I know a bunch of fans who would buy multiple copies of them. Y'know, one for the bookshelf and one for the bedroom....

More than a few for the bedroom, seeing as how they'd tend to get their pages glued together...

Given the Ringo novels, I wonder why Baen hasn't picked up the rights to Gor.

Too liberal.

Cue major rant by an all-new "no, i'm not really the same Gor fan that was posting here earlier" Gor fan in 3...2...1...

(Though that countdown should really be in weeks or months...)

Toni Weisskopf is not Jim Baen?

Baen is still doing Ringo's books, right? So this may be a difference that doesn't make a difference.

Plus one for the bathroom.

I find toilet paper more comfortable.

I've never read a Gor book. Odds are good I never will. (I did see the movie, but that's because MST3K did it...)

Why all the anger and angst about it maybe getting republished?

Are they somehow "dangerous"? Destructive of civil morals? Corruptors of the fair youth?

Since when was "that's just icky" an acceptable argument?
