FedEx (formally "Kinko's) was the best bang per buck I could find in terms of high res full color printing at an affordable click. So here are the specs: 18x24 46# coated stock = $11. I hope that's helpful.

So far, the most popular Oversize (by the downloads count) seems to be issue 125 page 14 - Oscar meets Julius. I wonder why? I mean, it's a terrific page, but so are a bunch of the others. Maybe because this is a page which has a lot of funny dialog.<br /><br />The cover to 153 (Cerebus on a balcony waving a bloody sword while happy citizens lean out neighboring windows to watch him) is the most popular cover to download, so far.<br /><br />Cerebus destroying the statue of Superman is the most-downloaded Apocrypha. Followed by Sloth.Barry Deutschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08796981762797604817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-21240241642180332232016-03-27T09:38:52.941-05:002016-03-27T09:38:52.941-05:00Sandeep,

That's ...And, as I say, 114 images for US$50.<br /><br />That's 43.8956 cents per image, no matter how small or large you make it. <br /><br />Say you want to download Mr. C to your tattoo artist's computer, and you want image X: ...<br /><br />44 cents.<br /><br />Now, yes, ya gots ta pay fer the printout and the tat.<br /><br />BUT. <br /><br />44 cents per image, to do with what you will? <br /><br />Remembering that THE Dave Sim has said, essentially, "do with it what you will", ... um...<br /><br />can I borrow 44 cents off ya, M?.; Travis; Mike?<br /><br />Surely Sandeep can loan me 44 cents, right?<br /><br />So, let's get going, all you first gen, second generation, and newbies! Getcher posters and prints NOW! <br /><br />They ain't goin' away, and they ain't gettin' scarcer, but they are highly manipulative! In the psychological sense, of course.<br /><br />Kinda like Astoria. She made things bigger.<br /><br />Just sayin'.<br /><br />Look!<br /><br />Over there!<br /><br />She's laughing at you!<br /><br />You're not buying into the biggest startup in history! (Hyberbolic funny; You know! "A tee-hee aboutcher wee-wee!")<br /><br />Yeah, Astoria will play nice, but you better buy in. You REALLY don't want her laughing at you. Where did she go? To a place where she laughed at you.<br /><br />Red Sophia will say that it's best if we have sex before you decide whether or not to buy in.<br /><br />Buy in.<br /><br />Girly Boy Rick will say, "Ow!", after you advise him to say, "yeah, this is not a terrible idea," just after prodding him with the fork you use for the garlic-stuffed olives.<br /><br />I think you might be getting the gist of what I am trying to imply, but lest you infer less than the grist for the mill, here comes Bear, lumbering up to the microphone (surprise, surprise!):<br /><br />Um.<br /><br />Whaddayacall.<br /><br />Buy it.<br /><br />Or.<br /><br />(Brrraaap)<br /><br />Whaddayacall, Cerebus, the dipshit, will be lookin' fer ya.<br /><br />And ya don't want that. <br /><br />Trust me.<br /><br />One time?<br /><br />One time, I saw him chew the pines offa a porcupine.<br /><br />For dinner.<br /><br />So. Folks, let me, Jeff (Elrod), suffice by saying that most of the folks here agree that the new project is not turribull.<br /><br />Get your's now.<br /><br />That's me, out, having tried my best at being a person with multipersonalities.

Not something I think I want to do right now (since I don't have a computer to use that's mine and mine alone), but I will eventually go for this. <br /><br />I would personally love the Africa sequence, as that section (only 2 1/2 issues but oh so amazing!) is probably one that "sealed the deal" for me in thinking Cerebus is the greatest comic ever.<br /><br />Might I suggest offering the Rabbi pages once the AMC Preacher TV series comes out...soon?

If it really becomes an issue, you can always go "dense pack" -- every inch of every wall covered in frames. I talked to Blair and Rochelle Kitchen about that because they're both cartoonists and they have three kids and a LOT of photos. You either have a very subdued few pieces on each wall or you Cross That Rubicon and Cover Every Inch of Space. I'm trying it with the stairwell at the Off-White House. There are still days I go "I don't know about this." <br /><br />Anyway, make sure Gary gives you your fair share of wallspace -- and be prepared to fight for it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06502294606395720342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-16959198937074404982016-03-26T19:44:22.851-05:002016-03-26T19:44:22.851-05:00Glad people are happy with the selection...while t...Glad people are happy with the selection...while there are lots of pages with Cerebus in them, I figured a "Greatest Hits" with large splash pages would be a pretty good guess.
