Concerning the dream Kona posted above, there appears to be a puzzle of sorts. I'm going to use spoiler tags for those who haven't yet received their comic books.

Is there any significance to the fact that one paragraph is repeated?

The one that starts:

I pulled this out of Merchandise & Goodies because when I viewed the online version of the comic - the repeated paragraph had been corrected. There is still the secret message.

When thinking what to do with results of puzzles, what has this PM done in the past? My first thought is it's an html or htm extension on an existing website. I tried at websites where Dale might have done work (Synthasia, Marzent) and at AglauraNJ. /qxz.html and /qxz.htm didn't yeild any results. Tried doing it at the library and also got zilch.

Why the clue about APL? Rot QXZ and you cannot get APL. Vig QXZ with APL as the key and you get QIO.

So now where do we go?

I'd have thought it had something to do with a phone if it weren't for the "X" being one of the letters as "Q" and "Z" are missing from many phones.
Could it have something to do with the Dewey Decimal system or classification in the fiction section. Lots of libraries do a primary sort/shelve using the first three letters of the authors last name.
That's all I got.

Just a question for a clarification, when you mention that q, x, and z aren't used at all in the dream text, do you mean just as the first letters of words? Because the word size is used a couple times, as well as the word next.

I don't think there's any other puzzle here than what we already found.

Remember the comments Dale has made that his comic seems to be things that are happening in real life, only in reverse?

When he says:

chippy

in the comic, there is, on page 30, (online installment 4) a picture of dale in hospital with a doctor looking over him, and the word "zaxdigitalissxx"
with the three letters on either side of the name digitalis smaller
zax and sxx
