Hi David--
Actually, you didn't miss anything. But there were 12 years between Naked Detective and Shot on Location, and I thought it would have been too cruel to keep poor constipated Don Giovanni alive for that long. But on the other hand, it would have hurt too much to kill him on the page. So I briefly alluded to Bert being in mourning, then blessed him with Nacho. Thanks for the careful re-reading!

I am reading your books in order (I know it's not necessary, but my mind works that way) and I love Bert the Shirt. I see he has a new chihuahua (don't tell me the fate of Don Giovanni as I haven't gotten that far yet). It looks like you've written parts from the dog Nacho's point of view--was that difficult or pure fun? Also, looking at your influences, did Chaplin, Mozart, or Groucho influence any of this story?
