What’s New with Phil and Dixie was Phil Foglio’s humorous comic strip about tabletop gaming, originally published in Dragon Magazine. The strip featured fictionalized versions of Foglio and his friend Dixie as they commented on various aspects of gaming culture, frequently interrupted by monsters, rules debates, and other comic chaos.

The three collected volumes span from 1991 to 2000: “The Collected Adventures of Phil and Dixie” (1991), “Sex & Gamers… Really” (1994), and “The Magic Years” (2000). The strip was popular with the gaming community for its insider humor and Foglio’s energetic art style. For fans who know Foglio primarily through Girl Genius, the Phil and Dixie collections offer a look at his earlier work in a very different context.
