Note that there is actually a term for the 13th month of the year, and it's Undecimber. Svízel přítula (talk) 15:12, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

And the Jewish calendar has a 13th month every 2-3 years, since it's a lunar calendar. But rather than a completely different month name, the month Adar is doubled to Adar I and Adar II. Barmar (talk) 16:12, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

This is awesome! I really hope one of the answers is about cotton candy breaking one's fall, since it was foreshadowed in book one. 172.69.90.23 15:21, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT YAYAYAYAYYAY!!!! Sarah the Pie(yes, the food) (talk) 16:37, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

According to the Simpsons the 13th month is Smarch. What do we do when Simpsons and Randall disagree? Also, pretty sure 2021 was the first year that 13th month aligned with our reality. 172.70.211.18 17:28, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

I can't shake the feeling that he announced it on 31/01 because it's coming out on 13/09 and that's nearly 13/10 which is 31/01 with the month and day digits switched. But I might be one of those numerology people without realising it --192·168·0·1 (talk) 17:38, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

If you're not, you should count yourself lucky! 172.70.86.68 18:15, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

The pre-order through all the different sources is good, but **What if** someone wanted a hard copy of the book autographed by Randall?  I don't see any provision for that. RAGBRAIvet (talk) 00:16, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Is it just me, but is 7 months in advance a bit early to announce a book release? 108.162.250.228 01:04, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Seems an oddly advanced announcement to me too, but I guess with transport lines being so messed up, it's an attempt to be prepared well ahead for anything. 108.162.249.87 05:12, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
Yes. Especially in the world of ebooks and audiobooks which have no distirbution delays. With such a delay between completion and release, I'm expecting an ebook and audiobook edition to be available on the release day. I wonder if this sort of delay is normal in the publishing world, or if Randall is just a low priority for his publishers?

This is one of the few times, it is quite explicit that Randall himself is in the comic instead of him as fictional narrator. Sebastian --172.70.86.68 07:01, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

It comes out on my birthday! 172.70.214.95 09:22, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Happy birthday! ...in advance. 172.70.90.173 12:51, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

It's a crummy commercial? Son of a glitch. 192·168·0·1 (talk) 15:09, 1 February 2022
