Double your pleasure, double your fun, or glamourpuss part #36

Hi, Everybody!

The vote for Choose Your Own "Jen"venture (Chapter the first, Chapter the second, Chapter the third, Chapter the fourth & Chapter the fifth) has stayed the same...at two. So no CONSIGNED The Strange Death of Alex Raymond pages this week, as a reminder:

So, here's the deal. Sean had TWENTY-FOUR SDOAR pages in CONSIGNED (not 21 like he said he was gonna have...). I'ma run three of them today. For every TWENTY-FIVE people who vote for the next chapter of Choose Your Own "Jen"venture (and not anonymously, ya gotta give me a name...even a fake one...), I'll post another page until all twenty-four are posted.

Better luck next time...

I'm putting the "Jen"venture "on hold" until November. I got a lot of stuff going on, and I don't have the time for this kinda thing currently... Go ahead and re-read all the parts and makes your choice...

If you want to seek immediate shelter, comment "Hide".

If you'd rather lay there and let the universe have it's way with you, comment "Toto".

I'll wait.

So, as part of Cerebus@50, Dave is looking for volunteers to act as "local" distributors of Aardvark-Vanaheim products to their Local Comicbook Stores (if I'm understanding him correctly...), to wit he proposed to Michael R. of Easton Pennsylvania that Mike be the first and "do" runs to stores in eastern PA/NYC/&NJ. Mike said no. And so, Dave Fisher (he who runs the Cerebus YouTube channel) has stepped up to do the gig in Toronto Canada.

Seen here: Dave and Dave and a hoodie NOT from The AMOC TeePublic Shoppee...
This and the pile to Dave's right are print-on-demand merch for Cerebus@50.

At this point, I'm required to say that if you've been following the Cerebus@50 campaign, and think you'd like to get in on the...let's say, "fun", and become a volunteer and coordinate with a local printer and LCSs as far as you're willing to travel, feel free to contact momentofcerebus@gmail.com (thas me), and I'll pass your info on to Rolly, Dave, and Fisher, (and probably Eddie) and they'll get you into the planning. I mean, I'M NOT interested in "multiplying my sorrows" by joining up (I already have enough to do just keeping the creaky ship that is AMOC running without volunteering MORE...), but:

So, if it sounds like fun, lemme know you're interested, and we'll throw your name on the list, and you'll become:

Anyway, so the plan is that after CANs 15 & 16 next year, by next December, when Cerebus turns 50, Cerebus Archive Number Seventeen will be "eye candy" pages, instead of the second set of ten earliest pages from each phonebook still in the Cerebus Archive (which is what the first round of CANs are: the ten earliest pages from each phonebook still in the Cerebus Archive.).

Wanna see what CAN17 will be?

'course you do. You come here. You also wanna know when EXACTLY CANs 15 and 16 will be launching (that I don't know. CAN14 JUST finished, and fifteen of you NEED to fill out your surveys so I can get ma shit. Maybe if you get on that, I'll be able to find out when CAN15 and CAN16 are launching (not until 2027 for sure...).)

Well pal, you're in luck, because Dave had the prototype of the sticker for CAN17 sent to me, and I'm a really good detective and figured out what Dave's putting in there:

Because I get big scans that I format for posting, I saw what ten pages Dave's planning on using:

Cerebus #196, page 4

Click for bigger

Cerebus #196, page 6

Click for Bigger

Cerebus #196, page 7

Cerebus #196, page 8

Cerebus #196, page 9

Cerebus #196, page 10

Cerebus #196, page 11

Cerebus #196, page 13

Cerebus #196, page 14

Cerebus #196, page 19

When is this coming? I don't think before December 2027, since CANs 15 and 16 still have to come out. But if not 2027, then real early in 2028.

Next Time: Oh joy! Dave sent Audio files...

J. TOONS! The wisdom of Frank Zappa pt 6 (Dave's weekly update #665)

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...

Kickstarters:

Nothing doing currently, but you know more are coming.

_____________

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: Please Hold For Dave Sim 10/2026
• Sunday: Literally the reason AMOC exists...
• Monday: The 303rd Monday Report, and more Cerebus
• Tuesday: I have a new contest (details below)
• Wednesday: MORE Weekly Cerebus in Hell? Strips. Follow along on Instagram. Please fill out your Kickstarter surveys.
• 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. Now she's gonna burn through all of Notebook #21. This week: The list of what was posted and when.
• 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.

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.)

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(?).) (I might just open an AMOC webstore...)

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...

I'm telling you now, because I always forget to give the $49 sale a boost. (And honestly, I think it being a big secret is kinda pointless if you're trying to make some monies...)

My friends at the Waverly Press, are moving their office, and to lighten the loads, they're temporarily cutting prices on their remaining Cerebus inventory on their eBay store starting this weekend. They're gonna be gradually listing more things in the coming days and any orders placed next week will receive new ‘82 Tour promo cards. They may go ahead and offer the remaining prototypes of the big book and comic versions next week. MAYBE. So if you're interested, maybe stalk their eBay page like a crazy person...

Heritage has: 

• The Beavers strip #103
• Cerebus #44 Page 14
• And a bunch of slabbed Dave Sim file copies, including #1, are coming...

And a list of ALL the issues they got.

Thanks to Steve for sending the link.
