Gnomes - Where will they appear first?

[GAAAHHH]

What I want to know about 4th edition is this. Which print product will have gnomes in it? Don't mention the Digital Initiative, because that is not an option for me.

Edit - Rather, it is an option, but is one I've rejected.

The 4e gnomes will all be roasted over an open fire with chestnuts. Mmmm...chestnuts...

Monster Manual.

 

[Driddle]

Travel agency TV commercials.

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping at your gnome...

Hopefully Players Handbook I.

Failing that, there will be a truncated "Gnomes as Player Characters" write-up in Monster Manual I, with a full write-up likely in Player's Handbook II.

Best holiday-themed Dragon Magazine cartoon ever. A troll is stirring a pot of sauce, evidently preparing to pour it over the trussed-up gnome on the table, and singing softly to himself ...

"Oh, there's no race like gnome for the hollandaise ..."

Well, I liked it!

"Oh, there's no race like gnome for the hollandaise ..."

That's genius. Mad genius, but genuine none the less.

I hope that the gnomes make into the first 3 books. I have them as a major element in the area my players are in within my homebrew! However, I think they will most likely appear in printed format in PHBII, plus a small writeup for gnomes as PCs in the MMI.
