Tuesday, 26 May 2026

You Like Me, You Really Like Me!

Just when a girl becomes cynical, you all have to go and be all nice to me!

Michael Grabowski, "Welcome back, Jen! Congratulations on your show. May it lead to better and bigger opportunities." And Tony Dunlop, "Congratulations on the show's success, Jen! We're happy to see you whenever you can stop in, but keep following those dreams!"

I know, I know! It sounds just like Casey Kasem risen from the grave, "And remember, Jen, keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars."

<sniff>

You like me, you really like me!

<sniff>

Anyway ... here is where we stand with the Strange Death of Alex Raymond GoFundMe as of today ...

$21,215.00 raised to date from 400 donations
131 pages released so far as mocked up and/or drawn by Dave Sim through 2 March 2022

If you have not donated, a $5+ donation gets you access to all 131 pages and all future unlocked pages
Donate once or automated monthly donations here >> https://www.gofundme.com/f/sdoar-2023

And where exactly does Jen stands on her A Moment of the Strange Death of Alex Raymond hit list?

Well, not much progress outwardly, but two A Moment of The Strange Death of Alex Raymond posts published in a row is a start. AND I found everything I was working from the before times!

So this week, Jen will finally reach out to raffle winners, in order.
Put all Silverspoon pages into sturdy mailers.
Do a giant mail run.
Review all the correspondence I have on the Giant-Size Ashcans and see if I can't get us unblocked there.
Update the GoFundMe pages.
Follow up with Dave.

Manly Matt chimes in as well, "If you don't care about any of that? Look drawings of pretty girls!"

Talk about knowing your audience!

So, This.

If you're havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you, son I got '82 problems, but a aardvark ain't one...

Hi, Everybody!

Forty-nine bucks. You're gonna pay $49CAD today.

Today, $49CAD is $35.49USD...

Go nuts! (It's not gonna be $25CAD for almost a month...)

As we do:

Mondays!

So, Dave's Please PAY For Dave Sim deal, whereupon you, the viewer/listener, have to go to CerebusDownloads and donate to the content you want to hear Dave talk about, either Please Hold For Dave Sim or his "notes" (more like his deconstruction of) the 1982 Tour Book, is still rolling along. Eddie the Successor sent me the latest update of what's winning.

I pointed out that I was pretty sure Christon wanted his money to go to Please Hold.

I'a told ya.

So Eddie the Successor went back to the drawing board and sent the correct numbers:

One of Dave's ideas (if you haven't been following along) is to do side-by-side comparisons of The New Mutants movie and The New Mutants: The Demon Bear Saga comic to show which panels were translated to which scenes in the movie. He also proposes doing that with the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie and the original Turtles comic, and Sin City.

I'm not doing any of that.

Because I don't own the Demon Bear Saga. (Dave does, Jeff Seiler bought it for Dave and sent it to him.) (Dave also has a digital copy of the movie...)
That, and I CAN NOT stress this enough, "sounds like woik"...
Given the recent headaches on the Cerebito Spanish translation of Cerebus #1 and Spawn #10 Kickstarter (where Todd McFarlane Productions sent a Takedown notice for copyright violations) (Which have been resolved.) (I know you were losing sleep over it...) (As they said:

Hi there,

This is a message from Kickstarter’s Trust and Safety team. We’re writing to let you know that a project you were interested in — CEREBUS #1 & Dave Sim's Version of SPAWN DIEZ en Español — has been reinstated. The process for this project’s intellectual property dispute is complete. No further action is required on your part.

Please note that the project’s deadline (the day your pledge will be collected) has changed.

New project deadline

You can visit the project here.

Best wishes,
Kickstarter Trust and Safety)

I don't think messing around with anybody else's I.P. is a "Good idea worth pursuing..." 4. It's been done(?)

I used to own a copy...

See? Panel from the comic, how the shot looked at filming, how the shot looked after they did the digital "magic"... I think there's a whole bunch of that in there if I remember right... That's what I think Dave's thinking.

I bought another copy, and am gonna send it to Dave. Maybe he can pull a couple of examples of what he's thinking out of it and I won't have to do "woik" I don't wanna do...

Anyway, if you wanna hear Dave answer the questions that have been sitting there waiting since...March I think, go and donate to Please Hold. But if you wanna make me eventually have to pay to download Juice Newton songs, go ahead and donate to 1982 Tour.

_____________________

As I said, I don't wanna watch a movie and try to determine which scenes are based off which panels (of a comic I don't own), I wanna do "fun stuff" like ink:

Such as the pencils to a Stan Sakai commission Josh Even bought that Josh posted on Facebook:

Click for bigger, if that's your thing...

Or Jack Kirby's pencils to a Demon drawing:

Ditto.

Josh is getting the Usagi/Cerebus/Turtle piece, but if you want me desecrating The King in your hot little hands, shoot me an email at momentofcerebus@gmail.com, and I'll happily entertain any offers...

And here's Mr. Sakai's finished version:

And here's something that crossed my "desk":

I'm BEGGING ya, please help a brudda out...

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.

Next Time: Jen had a three day weekend. That means I'll be posting...

*it's not the "complete" Cerebus since issues 51, 112/113, 137 and 3/10ths of 138 aren't in there. I'm WORKING on it!

Cleaning out ALLLLL the cra...um...stuff Dave has sent...

Hi, Everybody!

As we all celebrate the holiday weekend (okay, not ALL of us. I'm sure the Aussies have to work since it's next week Tuesday down there. I think. Time zones confuse me...), and await The End of the Kickstarter, and what treasures get added, let's look at the Bounty of Cerebus and Cerebus related stuff Dave has had sent to me that I've been too lazy or busy to post:
