Cerebus @ 50 Soul-Tiger '77 Remix (Dave's weekly update #668)

Hi, Everybody!

Anyway, like it says on the Logo:

That little bit on the bottom there...

It's Friday, so that means:

Dave's Weekly Update:

Problems viewing this video? Watch directly on YouTube...

I guess Dave hasn't provided new material for Updates (don't know why, he could be telling us what he's working on EVERY week, I mean I wanna know...), so Fisher has done a bunch of these Cerebus@50 videos. Just keeping everybody in the "loop"...

_____________

Dave's CONTINUING the Please PAY For Dave Sim format, if YOU want more '82 Tour Book discussion, go HERE, and pay for "Dave Sim 82 Tour Book". But if YOU'd rather hear more stereotypical Please Hold (*shudder*) "content", go HERE and pay for "Please Hold For Dave Sim". 9/10 video done, 9/26 is loaded and being worked on... Dave's "finished" with his notes, and is waiting to see a revised prototype (that I have to make...), so while I'm sure the buttons are there, and that Dave'd appreciate the money, you can't squeeze blood from a turnip, so there's no more notes to be had...

But I'll send up anything I get for Please Hold For Dave Sim you wanna send to momentofcerebus@gmail.com...

Okay, back to "bizness as usual"

A Moment of Cerebus runs Saturday through Friday. 

The past Week in AMOC:

• Saturday: I ran a contest. Here are the winners...
• Sunday: More Cerebus!
• Monday: The Monday Report, and an Off-White House Bulletin (that could have been a Weekly Update...)
• Tuesday: The Strange Death of Alex Raymond GoFundMe post.
• Wednesday: MORE Weekly Cerebus in Hell? Strips. Follow along on Instagram. 
• Thursday: Margaret has also posted ALL of Albatross One. (If you click that link, you can see all the pages of the notebook, OR, you can get a PHYSICAL copy here.) And all of The Last Notebook. Then she did all of Notebook #21. And next is Notebook #29. This week: more of Pleasure's Simple Life...
• Friday: that's this post. You're reading the Friday post right now. This is STILL like that bit in Spaceballs. (I link to LAST WEEK'S Update in these things. Have been for longer than I care to think about...)

Okay, so that was the last week on AMOC.

__________________________

I've decided that the FULL Rigamarole is only running on Fridays now...

______________

I have lots and lots of Cerebus crap in the ol' AMOC Prize Box(es). Someday soon, I'll have to have a virtual yard sale... (More details in September October November(?).) (I might just open an AMOC webstore...) I just ran through the Prize Box getting prizes for the winners of the AMOC Birthday contest, and pulled a bunch of stuff out, but there are still some neat things in there Like:

#97 of 125 of the second printing of the Grandma Edition of the Spawn #10 Halloween Edition. Don't know what this is? Wow. Welcome to A Moment of Cerebus. You've missed a bit...

I didn't even know this was in the box. (I have #63 or #64 of ALL the Spawn #10 variants, so this is an extra...) Maybe this'll be the next Raffle Prize...

______________

The Help Out Bill Messner-Loebs Go Fund Me, or buy Rodney Schroeter's book with proceeds going to Bill. OR(!) you could buy Bill's book with the Dave backcover. I have discovered links:
Wanderland (Paperback)
Wanderland (Hardcover for the guys who get "hard" for hardcovers...)
Wanderland (Paperback but slightly more expensive...I dunno why...)
The site offers UK shipping, so PRESUMEABLY it's printed and shipped there(?).
And Journey Complete:
Hardcover
Paperback
And if you wanna see how the book looks in Real Time...

Larry Shell could use a hand to keep his house. 

I know it's after the 10th, but I can see this as being an ongoing problem, so if you want to reach out and see if Larry still needs help, lawrenceshell@comcast.net

Dave also wanted me to post this:

Next Time: Aw geez...

Notebook 29: Cerebus #241 Plot Outline

Dave Sim’s “Notebook #29” contains materials used for Cerebus #240 to #250. The notebook started out as a 300-page notebook broken up into three sections, and only 150 pages were scanned: section 1 had 63 pages scanned, section 2 had 65 pages scanned, and section 3 had 22 pages scanned. There were only 11 pages missing, and the rest were blank. We’ll be looking at this notebook page by page until we’ve seen all there is to see. To see past posts, please use the Notebook #29 tag.

~~~~*~~~~

Last week we started our journey with Notebook #29 and left off with page 11 as we had already seen many of those earlier pages and the only two left were as I said, “walls of text”. Fun text, but still text. So guess what we have for you now? Yup, another page of text. But once again, it is written by F. Stop Kennedy. And boy oh boy, he really writes Cerebus Jozan as using words I don’t think Cerebus even knows. . .you know, due to him being a barbarian from the north:

Notebook #29, page 16

And yes, that text appears word for word in the Going Home phonebook on page 187, aka Cerebus #241 page 1. The text is sized differently and some has been formatted differently – italicized – but other than those small differences, it is the same. The word balloons have the same text as well. Though, some of the formatting of them is different as well. 

If you look closer at it, Dave crossed off the chapter title of Patching Anthony wrote the book title above it, probably thinking it would end up on a different ‘side’ of the phonebook and therefore need the book title and not the chapter title. We can see this as well just to the right of the crossed out Patching Anthony: the page number 21 is there in typed text, but crossed out and replaced with either a 1, 2, 12, or 11. . .or perhaps 1? Some back and forth happened with the page number.

And yes, the text is cut out from another page and pasted to the notebook page. The word balloons and mark-ups are all in ink.

The next page of the notebook is the “batting order” for Cerebus #241. Dave starts with a circled 1 indicating page one and an arrow pointing at page 16 of the notebook.

Notebook #29, page 17

If you get your copy of Going Home and start with page 187 – or just get Cerebus #241 – you can follow Dave’s outline for the issue page by page. Some of the dialogue is slightly changed here and there, but it follows it pretty closer. The note for page 14 (page 200 of the phonebook) it says ‘cocktail hour’. If you flip to that page, it is another page from Pleasure’s Simple Life with the header ‘cocktail hour’ on it. 

The pages only go up to 15, though we do get some talk of F. Stop’s wife Gloria being in the . . .nuthouse down at the bottom of the page.

Winner! Winner! Buy me a Steak Dinner!

Hi, Everybody!

Well as I've been saying:

So next month is the fifteenth anniversary of Tim founding A Moment of Cerebus, preceded by the ninth anniversary of my beginning to ruin the place.

Which means it's time for an "AMOC Birthday Contest"!

Break out the crayons, and draw a birthday card for AMOC, and email it to momentofcerebus@gmail.com by November seventh.

I'll take a look at all the entries, and pick a winner for a fabulous prize pack from the ol' AMOC Prize Box. (Depending on the number of entries, there may be a first runner-up, second runner-up, and Miss Congeniality.)

Use whatever artistic tools or media you want, all I ask is NO AI. It's beneath you.

So now we must sit back and peruse ALL the entries and see if an obvious winner jumps out of the pack:

First Up: Larry "Spatula" Wooten, who says:

Fifteen Years? Damn it!
So. Made two versions. Told the wife-fu and for context read her the bit on AMOC. Saw it was fifteen years, not 14.
Shot my creative juices on the floor with that one. Happy 15...

Flipping out,
Spatula

Version Uno:

Version Deux:

Funnily, Jeff "Filthy Hippy" Tundis did a similar gag on the cover of one of the Margaret produced issues of Cerebus the Newsletter (I'm not sure which one, and I don't feel like getting up and finding it and scanning the cover. What? I just got comfortable with my Raisinettes...)

Next in the shoot, @creative_fey AKA April C. who says:

AMOC Birthday Contest

And her submission:

Is that supposed to be me holding Cerebus? Or Dave? Or Tim W.? Also, youse guys really need to start wearing matching uniforms. Definitely...let's make this a Team Goal before NEXT years "Aw...Geez...".

___

And then J. Toons! sent in:

Happy birthday, AMOC!
Thanks to all involved at AMOC. Here's my little entry into the contest.

With respect and appreciation,
J. TOONS!

And his entry:

"But doctor, I'M Pagliacci!"

________________________

Annnnnnnnnnddd...

That's it.

Three entries.

See, you DID have a chance after all.

Anyway, Everybody's a winner. All three are getting a Cerebus@50 sticker (which I can turn into a magnet if the winners want.), a copy of glamourpuss Archive: the making of glamourpuss #25 page 9:

With hand drawn "filler" (that'll probably vary from copy to copy as I figure out what I wanna put in there to eat up blank space.) (Of course the only way to be sure is for the three of you to meet up and compare all three copies, and I'm pretty sure J. Toons! is on the other side of the planet...) (You guys'll love it. Look at the advance praise:)

And I didn't bribe them to write that, that's heart-felt!

And they'll each ALSO get a handful of crap "stuff" from the ol' AMOC Prizebox. (Somebody might be getting that issue of Ewoks that's been in there since I moved...)

AND one of the lucky contestants is getting the Bonus Prize. Which I can't tell you what it is, but it's for-Special! And quasi-secret (made with REAL quasi!). I'ma kick the entries upstairs and see who salutes...

Thanks for participating! You've warmed the cockles of my heart (which my doctor says I have to watch out for, or I'll have to start a new medication...).

Next Time: Old Cerebus pages. I wanna finish at least four phonebooks before I stop being the Interim Editor of this joint...

Notebook 29: Walls of Text? Oh, Come On. . .

Dave Sim’s “Notebook #29” contains materials used for Cerebus #240 to #250. The notebook started out as a 300-page notebook broken up into three sections, and only 150 pages were scanned: section 1 had 63 pages scanned, section 2 had 65 pages scanned, and section 3 had 22 pages scanned. There were only 11 pages missing, and the rest were blank. We’ll be looking at this notebook page by page until we’ve seen all there is to see. To see past posts, please use the Notebook #29 tag.

~~~~*~~~~

After months (years?) of looking at the “walls of text” in Dave’s 21st notebook, I decided to look at notebook #29. I like the material contained in it and I knew – we know as we’ve seen it – there is some great artwork, basically pages that just needed Gerhard’s background to be completed – and I was done with the walls of text.

Done.

Well jokes on me. Two walls of text. Not by Viktor Davis, but by F. Stop Kennedy. And they are entertaining. Well, to me that is. I could read a full novel by F. Stop Kennedy about Jay Anthony Diver and Ginevra. 

The first page we’re seeing is page 4 of the notebook and the text on it is for F. Stop’s novel – help me out here fellow Cerebites, I can’t remember if the novel name is on the left page or the right page. So it is either Pleasure’s Simple Life or Perfect Strangers. I think it is Pleasure’s Simple Life. Or perhaps I’m just stoned, don’t tell boss man I do this stoned, he might give me a second day – Pleasure’s Simple Life. It appears as is on page 170 of Going Home, aka page 4 from Cerebus #240. And that is what it appears between in the notebook, the art for page #3 and page #5.

Notebook #29, page 4

The next full text page is page 11. It appears on page #177 of Going Home (page 11 of Cerebus #240). Note that on the finished page we see the text at the top of the page ‘Perfect Strangers’ and the page number is 11. 

Notebook #29, page 11

On the notebook it is labeled Pleasure’s Simple Life and has the page number 20. The text however, is exactly the same.
