What's New with Phil & Dixie is a comic strip by Phil Foglio originally published in Dragon magazine from 1981 to 1984, returning to print in the 1990s. The comic stars Phil Foglio, along with Dixie Null, as they explore the world of tabletop RPGs (the subject of Dragon) with a mixture of reportage and advice to the reader. A long-running joke revolved around the often promised and often delayed "Sex in D&D" segment, which was finally presented in one of the strip's reprint volumes.
The strip's original run began with issue #49 (May 1981), lasting until issue #84 (April 1984). It was resurrected in the 1990s in Duellist magazine before returning to Dragon in issue #265 (November 1999), running to issue #309 (July 2003).
Reprints were published in three separate volumes in 1991, 1994 and 2001, with Volume #2 finally presenting the long-awaited "Sex in D&D" article. Starting in 2007, What's New has been republished on the internet as a weekly webcomic.
