John Glisman recalls that Dave put a few photos from this trip on the back cover of 112/113
James Owen notes on above article:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/cerebus/posts/4177800905620586/
The fact that Dave had gatherings of his friends in those presidential suites - and we all talked about it - meant that in a not so subtle way lots of other pros would get the message that a self-publisher was staying in the best suite in the hotel.

Norwegians, among them journalists, speculate what comics appear on the bookshelf in the trailer for the Norwegian film hit at this year's Cannes (winning Best Actress for the film's star) about a lady dating a Graphic Novelist whose comics resemble those of Robert Crumb. Journalist, who btw interviewed me regarding the Cerebus film for a premiere Norwegian magazine, speculates about the boyfriend's Cerebus comics and if there's Jaka's Story in the making.

Say, did you miss out on the High Society: Regency Edition? Still kicking yourself for not obsessively refreshing AMOC every seven minutes like Michael R. of Easton, PA? Well bub, have I got the exciting news for you:
Cerebus Overload has 15 (count 'em, 15!) copies that they just listed. It should be noted, that:
Anyone who picks up one of the last 15 should note that the slipcases have minor imperfections, scuffs, scratches, etc... all minor but still present. The books are perfect 10's, the slipcase are 8-9 in terms of condition.
But if you snoozed, you may not have losed...

Just out of idle curiosity I looked up the publisher's Web site for the academic comix textbook:

https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783110446968/html

Great Foucault's Ghost, get a load of some of those chapter headings (not to mention the you're-a-student-and-this-is-a-required-textbook-nyah-nyah price tag)...
