Kim Thompson on Jaime Hernandez in the New York Times

Note that the NYT specifically says "The Funny Pages" is on hiatus, not the strip. "The Funny Pages" is the entire section comprising the one-page strip, the one-page humorous essay, and the serialized novel. It looks to me as if they want to relaunch FP with a new serialized novel at the same time as Seth's new serial, so in the interim they're just running the remainder of the Jaime strip, a "rump Funny Pages" if you will. Since #18 appeared after this announcement, I see no reason to think #19 and #20 won't as well.
