"Terry Moore has announced a Strangers in Paradise (SIP) prose novel and an all-ages project. The SIP project will mark the 20th anniversary of the acclaimed comic, the writer and artist revealed at San Diego Comic-Con International, reports Comic Book Resources. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m approaching 60 and I don&amp;#039;t want to be 65 with a monthly deadline for art pages,&amp;quot; said Moore. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m thinking about my future - I can be 75 and still write. [The readers] have matured, so I would like to write a deeper, more introspective story.&amp;quot; He also revealed that his current Rachel Rising series will conclude in 30 to 40 issues to make way for an all-ages project. &amp;quot;I want to do an all-ages funny thing again,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m happiest when I&amp;#039;m drawing something funny or silly - I&amp;#039;m actually a funny guy. There&amp;#039;s still a kid in me. [I want] to focus on life and how it&amp;#039;s like yours, but funnier. [My characters] can laugh at themselves. &amp;quot;I have this urge to remind people that life can be beautiful and funny.&amp;quot; The development of the Strangers in Paradise novel means that Moore will only attend San Diego Comic-Con this year. The book will be released in 2013 through his company Abstract Studios. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
