Remember Cerebus' dream? The Ol' AMOC Mailbag remembers...

Hi, Everybody!

Colin Upton!: https://www.patreon.com/colinuptoncomics And: https://colinupton.tumblr.com/ Or: https://www.facebook.com/Colin-Upton-Comics-257449422123/ www.colinupton.com doesn't seem to work. (Sorry.)

"Manly" Matt Dow is still giving away free @#$%!

The Ol' AMOC Mailbag wants me to let you know that the Cerebus in Hell? Cafepress T-shits are on sale for the next two days... (Some of those may not be Cerebus in Hell? "Official", but they're all on sale...

The Ol' AMOC Mailbag also has some thoughts on Dave Sim/Cerebus items that Heritage Auctions has... Like this one:
Memorabilia:Comic-Related, Dave Sim Jaka's Story: Remastered Edition Prototype #1 TradePaperback Collection (Aardvark-...
A copy of Jaka's Story with Dave's hand written corrections.
Bryan Dunbar sent the Ol' AMOC Mailbag the following:
This song makes me think a lot about the scenes in Minds where Dave finally confronts Cerebus about he is completely toxic for everyone he’s involved with, including himself, and shows him how in EVERY possible scenario, he ruins Jaka’s life, no matter what changes he makes to circumstance or even to Jaka herself.

If Dave takes commissions, I may have to get one of Barbarian Cerebus on a throne of human skulls.
And now we play "Spot the Ditko Riff":




NOT from the Sexy New Remastered Printing...
Next Time: Eddie checks in...

That splash page is one of my favourite CEREBUS pages ever. It might even be my favourite in the entire series.

So this post, and a random coincidence in my Great Comic Collection Re-read, pointed out to my conscious mind that, for all Dave Sim's long track record of "doing" great and/or celebrated cartoonists (Ditko, Neal Adams, BWS of course, Mort Drucker, Bill Sin-Kevitch, Frank Miller, Hal Foster, John Byrne, R. Crumb, even Eisner once or twice), he never attempted a Kirby riff. I wonder why?

(The coincidence was the cover of a Mr. Miracle special from the mid-80s, in which Steve Rude "does" an almost perfect 70s-era Kirby.)
