"Yes...start praying this is more than a TWO-PART STORY!"

Hi, Everybody!

Since it's the Ramadan, and Dave's taking a break on the Monday Report, I'ma take a break on the Please Hold Transcripts too...

So... Dave on the eBay:
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/127695779028 Dave Sim SECRET ORIGINS OF CEREBUS IN HELL? (#1) Signed 1/5 (#113/189) 9.8 (probably ended before I got this posted...)
New one: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/267588001432 Dave Sim SECRET ORIGINS - CERE QUINN (CIH? #86) Signed 8/10 (#32/39) 9.8
I know there are them Minds pages coming down the pike that I think are supposed to be listed already, but I haven't seen them yet. When I know, you'll know.

And from Birdsong's Private Stock: https://www.ebay.com/itm/236664955396 (Somebody was looking for the Vardalorian...)

Dave's Heritage auctions:
For comparison, the two pages from issue #81 sold for $4,250 and $3,750...

The laughably named "2019 ReRead":
Issue #1: Firstthenthenthen. Issue #2: Thenthenthenthen. Issue #3: Thenthenthen. Passage: Then (in part. I REALLY need to get a decent version of Passage up here one of these days...). Issue #4: Then. Issue #5: Thenthenthen. Demonhorn: Then. Issue #6: Thenthenthen. Issue #7: Thenthenthen. Issue #8: Thenthenthen. Issue #9: Thenthenthen. Issue 10: Thenthenthen. Issue #11: Thenthenthenthen. Issue 12: Thenthenthen. Magiking: Then. Issue 13: Thenthenthen. Silverspoon: Then. Issue 14: Thenthen. Issue 15: Thenthen.  Issue 16: Thenthen. Issue 17: Then

And then:


Seiler owned either this page...

...or this page.

Next Time: More Champion?

Saturday, 28 February 2026

Dave offers a bit of a business update, I have potential Merch, and an old bit...

Hi, Everybody!

As loooooonnggg time AMOC readers know, Dave likes to do his business on the streets, in plain view of Everybody, with no "behind-closed-doors" shenanigans. Which means I get "faxes" (or Fauxes if you will,) like this:

I VAGUELY remember an email about something like this, but I can't find it. I asked Eddie, and he gave me an encapsulated version, but he's dealing with more important personal matters, so if George wants to swing on by the comments and let us all know what's happening... (Eddie will be by if/when he can...)

A couple of things:
  1. Bill Messner-Loebs books are (presumably) on/from Critical Blast (it's what the website says...): 
    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
  2. A google doesn't turn up Critical Blast's webpage on the first page of results. And "publishing" doesn't show WHAT they publish (that's under "book store"). I think it's a form of print-on-demand publishing, but that's just a guess on my part...
  3. Dave's heritage stuff:
  4. Expect more "weird" Aardvark-Vanaheim auctions like https://www.ebay.ca/itm/127695779028 as Dave trys to find ways of bringing in income without a distributor for his books...
________________
During the last Please Hold, Dave suggested something like this as Merch for people to wear if they go to the Eisner induction ceremony in San Diego this year:


I had a better thought and reached out to David Birdsong to make it  for me:

(The text isn't final...)

I remembered that "we" had made fun of the San Diego Comic Con in Spore/Batvark, and made this:

And a "colour" version since the eye was red in the original version:

I think this one "pops" better. 

The suggested text is: "DAVE SIM: 2026 WILL EISNER HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE"

(Birdsong's suggested addition is: In small print below it reads "charges more for everything now".)

I also thought this could be a funny option:

I sent all this as part of the March Please Hold For Dave Sim Faux, so we'll see what Dave has to say in a week or so...
___________________________

And while searching for anything in my email about Critical Blast and George's discussions with Eddie, I found this bit I wrote:
"Know ye, O Princess, that between the years of the fall of the Black Tower Empire, to the years of the rise of the sons of Ishmael, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across Estarcion like diamonds inlaid on a necklace --Tansubal, Boreala, Isshuria, Unshib, Beduin with it's merchants and intrigue, Panrovy with its dueling instructors, Eshosopur that bordered Dehrsion, the Red Marches home of the Pigts, Palnu whose trading ships sail carrying spices, and silk. But the proudest kingdom in Estarcion was Iest, largest city-state and center of the political world. Hither came Cerebus the Aardvark, short of stature, shorter of temper, sword in hand, a mercenary, a soldier, a thief, with odd melancholies and odder mirth, to grind the jeweled thrones of Estarcion under his three-toed feet." --The Aardvarkian Chronicles

Kvell (Dave's weekly update #631)

Hi, Everybody!

Like it says on the Logo:
That little bit on the bottom there...

It's Friday, so that means:
Dave's Weekly Update:

The next Dave Sim eBay Auction is live:
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/127695779028




Dave's heritage stuff:
___________________________
A Moment of Cerebus runs Saturday through Friday. 

The past Week in AMOC:
  • Saturday: I can be quite a Dick sometimes...
  • Sunday: One of these years I'll finish posting all of the Cerebus Volume...
  • Monday: The Monday Report, and the transcript to Please Hold For Dave Sim 8/2023.
  • Tuesday: Since Jen is in rehearsals, I'm back posting on Tuesdays. Still posting to help raise funds on The Strange Death of Alex Raymond GoFundMe$170 until page 127 of Dave's POST-Carson SDOAR mock-up pages unlocks. Anyway, I'ma post ALL of glamourpuss over the next how many weeks. AND GoFundMe has a MONTHLY option now, so you can schedule a reoccurring donation. 
  • Wednesday: The NEW Cerebus in Hell? issue: Cerebus in Jail, continues with the Weekly Strip. Follow along on Instagram
  • Thursday: Margaret has 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. Now she's gonna burn through all of Notebook #21. So sit back and get ready for pages and pages and pages of walls of handwritten text... This week,  more from Reads that isn't in Reads!
  • Friday: that's this post. You're reading the Friday post right now. This is STILL like that bit in Spaceballs. (Should I link to LAST WEEK'S Update in these things?)
Okay, so that was the last week on AMOC. You're welcome.
