Friend to the Blog and the Green Lantern of Sector 1991*, 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.
Will he make the Weekly Update?
Let's find out:
Heeeeeere's Dave:

In case you're wondering, that sub-lim-i-nal cover is Dave's drawing of Steve and himself over the years of their correspondence, which correspondence is documented in a story that Steve wrote and drew for "Cerebus Readers in He...er...Crisis" #4. (Available nowhere.) (Hey, I only printed around 150 copies.)
Russ Heath has passed away. I'd expect Dave would want to know.
As Dave mentions, "..people who've never heard of Cerebus..."
I've found that the popularity of the Marvel movies (DC just isn't doing it right) can be a conversation starter on Cerebus: "Want to read something intelligent? Something with wit, drama, intrigue, romance, heartache, art chops beyond compare?
Something other than SuperDooperMan and OverEndowed Girl?"
And I've loaned out reader copies of High Society and C&S I.
The first guy had them for 6 months or more.
Looked thru but never took the time to read.
And just yesterday I loaned them again to another guy, so we'll see what comes of it.

Steve? Been there, done that, had autographed copies stolen.
You can lead a fool to gold, but you can't make him eat it. Or, something like that.
On the other hand, every single person to whom I've shown my signed Gerhard "Moby Dick" print has had the *exact* same reaction:
"Whoa!" (Which is wholly appropriate.)
There is, as they say, no accounting for taste. As Dave has said, on many occasions, there are Cerebus fans and there are non-Cerebus fans, with none in between. Especially now, 14 years on.
(Wow! Did I really just say that? Fourteen years since Day Last? How old *are* we?)
