And Dave's  auctioning these:

• Six Deadly Sins page: Pride
• Six Deadly Sins page: Sloth

I have audio files from Dave about the '82 Tour Book, so if you were hoping for Please Hold For Dave Sim this month, you should have put your money where your mouth is... Because, 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". Either way, I have to amuse myself in the Editing Suite assembling these things... (I keep getting copyright violation hits, so I'm getting the 'droid to right a jingle...)

The last Kickstarter has shipped, so check your mailbox. I got mine.

Speaking of Kickstarters, Friend to the Blog James Banderas-Smith has launched one for the Seventh issue of Papa Balloon and Cactus (his Ninth issue overall). He's at the Hershey Comic Con this weekend. If you go, tell him: "Manly Matt Dow sez you owe him money! Where's his TWO DOLLARS ya bastid?!?"

Okay, back to "bizness as usual"...

A Moment of Cerebus runs Saturday through Friday. 

The past Week in AMOC:

• Saturday: An Off-White House Bulletin, and a patriotic selection from the '82 Tour Book
• Sunday: Mr. Weisshaupt goes to...prison?
• Monday: The Monday Report, and the weirdest Clint Eastwood adaptation you'll ever see part one...
• Tuesday: Jen is on vacation, so she DIDN'T post to help raise funds on The Strange Death of Alex Raymond GoFundMe, page 133 of Dave's POST-Carson SDOAR mock-up pages has unlocked? AND GoFundMe has a MONTHLY option now, so you can schedule a reoccurring donation. 
• Wednesday: MORE Weekly Cerebus in Hell? Strips. I think this one is written by Dave. Follow along on Instagram. And https://www.ebay.com/itm/236664955396 (Somebody was looking for the Vardalorian...) 
• 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. So sit back and get ready for pages and pages and pages of walls of handwritten text... This week, NOT Cerebus 182?
• 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.

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...

Notebook 21: Material Not Used in Cerebus #182

MARGARET LISS:

A few years ago I scanned all of Dave Sim's notebooks. He had filled 36 notebooks during the years he created the monthly Cerebus series, covering issues #20 to 300, plus the other side items -- like the Epic stories, posters and prints, convention speeches etc. A total of 3,281 notebook pages detailing his creative process. I never really got the time to study the notebooks when I had them. Just did a quick look, scanned them in and sent them back to Dave as soon as possible. So this regular column is a chance for me to look through those scans and highlight some of the more interesting pages.

We’re continuing our look at Dave Sim’s 21st notebook used during the creation of Cerebus #164 to 187. We’ll be looking at this notebook, which there were 260 out of 300 pages scanned, until we’ve seen every single page of it. Well, the pages scanned. If you want to see all of the notebook #21 posts to date, just use the Notebook 21 tag. 

~*~~~*~

Another outline for Cerebus #182, but at least it isn’t a wall of text – don’t worry, more of them coming up. Looks like Dave did some shuffling of the materials for Cerebus #182. Though if you’ve noticed, this list is only for the materials in the Viktor Davis’ story, and not the Cerebus vs  Cirin fight that starts off the issue. Well, technically the issue starts with the Roach in his Destiny Forty Thousand Eyes Roach ™.

Well, except item number 5, “Cerebus just had his right ear cut off”. That happens on the last page of the fight in Cerebus #182 page 14, aka Reads page 160.

Notebook #21, page 207

Though Cerebus’ ear getting cut off also appears in Viktor’s text, on page 16 of that same issue. And that text is what starts off page 208 of the notebook:

Notebook #21, page 208

While that is close to the finished text on page 162 of Reads, it isn’t the same. Most notably, Viktor mentioning that Elrod never really existed is missing, along with a bunch of discussion about the audience. What are you thinking?

The next page of the notebook shows a rewrite of the ‘Cerebus has just had his right ear cut off’ text, but it is crossed out:

Notebook #21, page 209

The next page of the notebook contains materials not used in Cerebus #182, perhaps used somewhere else in Reads:

Notebook #21, page 210

And to answer Viktor’s question, no I couldn’t stop listening to music. Though I do love quiet. I also haven’t had my phone ringer on in over twenty years. . .though one only turns it on if one actually intends to pick up a call.

Dave's  auctioning these:

Friend to the Blog James Banderas-Smith has launched a Kickstarter for the Seventh issue of Papa Balloon and Cactus (his Ninth issue overall). He's added on Sketches as an Add-on, $30 and he'll send you an etching you can use to pick up chicks... "would you like to come upstairs and see my etching?" It's practically guaranteed to work (although you REALLY need two, so you can say "etchingS" plural, that's what gets the chicks hot...) ends in 25 days, so you have time to sell enough blood to get the cash to buy that second etching.

Mr. (& Mrs.) Sim Goes To Washington

Hi, Everybody!

Dave sent an Off-White House Bulletin

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

Since it's the Fourth of July, and Dave's discussing the '82 Tour Book, here's a selection that may OR may not make the "final cut" in his version:

Mr. (& Mrs.) Sim Go To Washington:

This is either a bad photo of the subway, a bad photo of the museum at Ford's Theatre, a bad photo of the Washington Monument, a bad photo of the Lincoln Memorial, or a bad photo of the Smithsonian. It's DEFINITELY a bad photo...

The Lincoln Memorial.

The Lincoln Memorial.

The Lincoln Memorial.

Abe's place...

I like to imagine somebody randomly finds this post, reads through it, and shouts "HOLY SHIT IT'S GRANDMA!" when they see this photo...

Dave Sim, after riding the hidden slide BEHIND the statue of Lincoln. (Sadly the slide was torn out in 1989...)

"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, GET OUT OF THE WAY PHIL!!!"

The view from the top of the Washington Monument.

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". Either way, I have to amuse myself in the Editing Suite assembling these things...
