Friend to the Blog and Comics Futurist, Steve Peters is doing a Kickstarter to restore his Rabbit Hell Digest books, (which celebrated it's 27th anniversary on August 17th.) The first one was issues 1 and 2. Now he's doing 3 and 4.
"Comics Futurist"? What the donkey balls is that?!?
I'm glad you asked.
Back in 1992(!), Steve envisioned the Cerebus In Hell? series in Awakening Comics #2:
 |
| Wait for it... |
 |
| Cerebus by Dave, except the Cerebus silhouette in panel 2, that was by Gerhard. Click to make it "Yuge". |
 |
| Cerebus by Dave, background in last panel Gerhard, click to "embiggenen" |
See?
See?
Cerebus in Hell. In 1992. Twenty-five years BEFORE Cerebus In Hell? #0.
TWENTY-FIVE!!!
Crazy, anyway:

So this week's column was going to be called "BECAUSE JEFF DEMANDED IT!" It was going to feature Cerebus riding on Jingles and it was going to be the BEST column ever to run on AMOC. Then there was all this editorial interference, what with this being Steve Peters week, and Jingles doesn't play second fiddle to anyone. So THE BEST COLUMN EVER TO RUN ON AMOC will have to wait.
Instead, here's Vark riding a pony.
"VARK'S VALIANT STEED IS BIG! BIG BIG!"
NEXT WEEK: NICK CALM: Agent of C.O.D.P.I.E.C.E. is on sale! The lowest print run of ANY Cerebus book to date!
In TWO Weeks!: Jeff FINALLY gets to see Cerebus riding Jingles.
And now back to Matt...

Next Time: Steve Peters hijacks Margaret and Dave's notebooks.

I'm actually working on a continuation of that first page above, called Cerebus in Rabbit Hell. And Dave has written the first two pages for me.
It will appear in an upcoming reprinting of the "Me Vs. Dave Sim" comic I did for Jeff Seiler's Cerebus Readers In Crisis. I was hoping to launch that last December, since it was Cerebus' 40th anniversary and Awakening Comics' 20th, but...well, that's the problem with having so many irons on the fire at once.
