The Jhonen Vasquez Comics Journal Interview… or Not

I just finished reading issue #292 of The Comics Journal–which features a fantastic interview with one of my favorite cartoonists, Kim Deitch–and noticed in the upcoming issues section that a scheduled interview with SLG’s Jhonen Vasquez appears to have disappeared without a trace.

From issue #291:

Now, from issue #292:

I guess if it’s been cancelled it may be a good thing.  I’m no theologian but I’m pretty sure that a Jhonen Vasquez interview in The Comics Journal is one of the seven signs of the apocalypse.

On the other hand, if it’s just been bumped to a later issue (which is most likely, I imagine) I guess we can assume–based on Jhonen’s quote below from an older Suicide Girls interview–that he’s finally completed his autobiographical GN about making a sandwich:

DRE: … It’s not like The Comics Journal ever talked about you.
JV: No those people would never come near me. They’d come near me if I was unknown, doing terribly and writing a very matter of fact series about my true life experiences making a sandwich.
