[I'm gonna have to explain this. So, I threw it open to do the #SixFanArtsChallenge, and Margaret said: "Cerebus. Cerebus. CEREBUS! Please?" which led me to the only three images that come to my mind to that phrase.-Matt]

Lee Bentley notes: "I love the fact that some of the most iconic Cerebus imagery just...barely...ever appears in the actual comic book."

Speaking of, Paul Poirer shares his bday commissioned gift from Cary Nord. Morten S. Eriksen says: "Amazing!! One of the best post Buschema Conan artists Cerebus."

Riley Byrns: "Noticed this synchronicity to Tiger King while reading High Society. (It’s mentioned many times that Carol Baskin put her husband in the sewage system or he was killed in another way.)"

threefifityseven" shares more on his buggid badge:
"My friend made us all Buggid! badges, and we wore these every time we got together, and “Buggid!” became a sort of catchphrase and warcry. For my friend’s wedding, I thought a great present would be the original page, and I was amazed Dave obliged"

Eolake Stobblehouse on "Strange Death of Alex Raymond: "The sharpness and detail is outstanding on a good screen. I have a 4K, 30-inch Sharp monitor." https://www.facebook.com/groups/cerebus/permalink/2924622240938465/
https://www.facebook.com/groups/cerebus/permalink/2927871367280219/

And last but not least if you were wondering what Brian West does for a living when he's not doing PR for "Cerebus in hell?", here's a video directed, edited and starring himself, which I figured I'd share as it's not only great but very apropos for the times. As Khanna noted: "Believe it or not, that's the first PSA I've seen on how to properly wear a mask. And probably the only one I would ever watch all of." Birdsong adding: "If Dave sees that he'll have you doing videos for him!"
