Hi, Everybody!
If you're visiting A Moment of Cerebus, I
presume you
own Cerebus, either physically (individual issues or the phonebooks, or a mix of both.), or digitally. But if you
DON'T own Cerebus digitally (at this point, I, again,
presume this is an increasingly shrinking minority,) well all "three hundred" (not really) issues will be on "4-hour Crazy Sale" on Monday, May 4th, from 10AM to 2PM (presumably Eastern time) at
CerebusDownloads.com for TWENTY-FIVE CANADIAN DOLLARS ($18.39 USD based on today's exchange rate.) It's
So, if you've been debating "pulling the trigger" on getting digital Cerebus, Monday is the day to get all sixteen Phonebooks (ten of them Remastered by Sean Robinson (who has all but Latter Days remastered, but not converted to
CerebusDownloads.com format, so by the end of the year(?) you'll have almost all of them remastered and on
CerebusDownloads.com for $25CAD when Dave "runs" his nutty sale...),). Cue Granpaw's postcard:
 |
| It's NOT 1-300. It's 1-50, 52-111, 114-136, 7/10ths of 138, 139-300. #s 51, 112/113, 137, and 3/10ths of 138 aren't reprinted in the phonebooks. They ARE reprinted in Cerebus Number 0, which isn't on CerebusDownloads.com, but I'm WORKING on it... |
 |
Again, it's NOT "the complete 6,000-page CEREBUS GRAPHIC NOVEL", because eighty-six pages aren't reprinted in the phonebooks (but "Goat" and Silverspoon ARE, which adds fifteen pages,) And it was NEVER "6000-pages", because 1-13 are twenty-TWO pages each, so it's 6026 pages. But you have to subtract the 86 pages that aren't in the phonebooks, but ADD the 11 Silverspoon strips and the 4 page Goat. Which is 5,954 pages. And that doesn't count the Notes in the latter phonebooks. (If you think those "count".) OR, the "Miscellany" stories like the Swords shorts that take place between issues (and in one case between panels of a single issue...) which should "count" towards the total page count.
Basically, Dave's not to good with numbers when it comes to Cerebus...
I don't MEAN to be pedantic, but he's ALWAYS doing this stuff... don't even get me started on the print run of Cerebus #1... |
So, MONDAY (May 4th) 10AM-2PM, be there or you'll miss out and have to wait until the next "crazy" sale in June...(is it on my birthday? Nope, eleven days later...)

Okay, so I'm ONCE again trying to get the Pud's Tavern Logo onto the shirts and such for my kid's Dance Team
 |
| Last time we did "Buggid", this time we could do the Ale Mug... |
 |
| It's ridiculously stupid, but it makes me laugh... |
 |
| So much... (Hi, Emma!) |
Now THIS year, they changed up how they're soliciting sponsorships
I want Pud's Tavern announced at halftime of the games the girls dance at. SO to get to the Captain's level, I need to raise $350 (I know they say three hundred at a minimum, but I think we need to outshine everybody else. We're being stupid, so we might as well go all out...). I got a couple of backers already (and a hearty "Thank you, sir" to those guys...), but I'ma need more help. BUT I understand that there are a whole lot of Cerebus-related-things you can throw money at around here (I post all them links in these things, after all,) and this one is so fucking dumb, but I gotta try, because it's funny. (So funny.) SO, to reward the hardspent cash of you brave volunteers, EVERYBODY who donates Twenty American Dollars ($20) will get a RARE Cerebus collectible.
"How rare?" There are only 40 of them.
"40 of what?" I'm so glad you asked...
Matt Dow's A Moment of Cerebus Logo dice:
Everybody who donates $20USD gets a pair
 |
| It'll make those rainy day games of Monopoly almost bearable... (Or you can start a floating Craps game. Who am I, your mother?) |
Now, I'm keeping a set (I paid for the damn things...) And I should send a set to Dave (I mean I KNOW he doesn't play games, and I'm sure he's against gambling, but it IS his little aardvark on there, so it's only right I send him a set (if he can't get Cerebus back in print, he might have to change his no gambling rule and start his OWN floating Craps game...).), so that leaves EIGHTEEN sets left for all you nice people to get by giving me $20 so I can get the Pud's Tavern Logo back where it truly belongs... (And ACTUALLY, it's sixteen sets left, since the two guys who already chipped in are getting sets. It pays to be nice early...)
If you want in, email
momentofcerebus@gmail.com and I'll tell you where to send the money, and you'll tell me where to send the dice. Also, you'll get to vote on which version of the Logo you want on there Buggid or Ale Mug.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Was that "Moment" enough?
Nope?
Okay.
 |
| Since the phone and fax numbers are gone... |
...no clue. Dave just sends this stuff...
 |
| Click for bigger... |
Okay, and now that I've highjacked my own Blog to plead for money...FOR CHILDREN!, and cleared out the "what'd did he send down THIS time" pile, we turn, as we so often MUST, to "neat Cerebus related things that'll cost you an arm and leg, but which get Granpaw enough to buy the good cat food for dinner." (I kid. I kid. We all know Dave mostly eats apples, bananas, and carrots. So many carrots...)
Dave has things on
Heritage. These are FROM the Cerebus Archive, and Dave (eventually) gets ALL the money (minus the fees and whatnot. Plus he won't believe it until the money crosses his hand... *NOT* my first "Dave waiting to be paid" rodeo...):
The CAN13/Ninja High School Cerebus #2&3/Cerebus in Hell? numbers 87 (Cerebus in Jail?) and 88 (The Pun Issuer Groan Zone)/CAN29(sorta)
Kickstarter. Which includes $3 cheapo versions of the comics, and Dave's "I hate your stupid mailman" Cerebus backissue offer. Two hundred and thirty-one issues of Cerebus from the Cerebus Archive, that have NEVER been circulated:
It's 231, because there are issues that Dave's completely sold out of.
And it's a package deal, you gotta buy all 231 of them. Dave (more realistically, Rolly) isn't gonna dig around and find you that ONE copy of issue #89 I need...I mean, that one issue you need. It's all of 'em or nothing. And Dave's only offering THREE sets on this Kickstarter (mainly because the cost is pretty high...) $340USD to Canada, $440USD to the USA, and $640USD to all the other parts of the world that we only think of when we're playing RISK. "Yugoslavia? Czechoslovakia? Peru? You're just making up words..."
They're not listed as rewards, you have to back the campaign, and then message Birdsong. It's his problem then...
Since we talkin' Kickstarters:
Friend to the Blog, Steve Peters has a new
Comicverse issue on Kickstarter, with a variant cover from OTHER Friend to the Blog, James Banderas-Smith.
And I was asked: "Scott Palochik & Dreamscape Publishing has the
4th issue of MARCVS live on Kickstarter now. If you could kindly put it up on the Rigamole, it would be greatly appreciated." It ends in twenty-four hours...
______________
THAT is "Moment" enough...
Next Time: Well I cleared out the stuff Dave sent, he didn't sent Off-White House Bulletin material, Please Hold/'82 Tour stuff won't come in until next week... I guess Cerebus, like actual not-a-plea-for-money, but actual "hey look an Aardvark!" Cerebus pages...
