So, the Ol' AMOC Mailbag.
John Pannozzi sent in a request:
What a great idea John! Except... I don't have either of those two stories. Not even in poor quality crappy scans I made myself. (But if somebody out there has nice scans, momentofcerebus@gmail.com. I'll make you AMOC Special Friend Of The Day!)I really love how the Moment of Cerebus blog includes a bunch of (at least relatively) rare Dave Sim and Cerebus-related short comic stories in their entirety.
But there are two Cerebus stories in particular (both crossovers) that I feel are sorely missing.
The first is "The Face on the Bar-Room Floor" from Bacchus #1 (May 1995) by Dave Sim and Eddie Campbell. You included part of the story years ago on the blog, but I'd like to see the story in its entirety uploaded on your blog, with all pages in high quality (like how the excerpts from years ago look). I hope Eddie Campbell doesn't mind.
The second is the story "It's A Whole New Look And Sound For The Weasels", featuring not only Cerebus, but also Patty Cake, Gran'Ma Ben (from Bone), Joey (from Hepcats), and Flaming Carrot. It seems that this story was originally published in Cerebus #200, and has also been published in Patty Cake #3 and Patty Cake Prime Collection. I'd also love to see a high-quality upload of this entire story.
Also, your Patty Cake info is a tad wrong. As our own Margaret Liss notes:
The latter I DO have (in crappy scan for):
- Patty Cake #3: published by Caliber Press under their Tapestry imprint in 1996, featured a short story entitled "It's A Whole New Look And Sound For The Weasels", featuring Cerebus alongside Flaming Carrot, Gran'ma Ben from Bone and Joey from Hepcats.
- Patty-Cake Prime Collection: reprints the Cerebus #200 comic strip in which Patty Cake captures and adopts Cerebus before Cerebus escapes with Flaming Carrot.

And then, there's this:
Hi there,I, I have no idea...
What is your favorite comic created by Dave Sim and Gerhard?
I'm reaching out to ask which Ad layout generates the most revenue for you?
I work at Ezoic (a Google Certified Publishing Partner) and I'd love to chat about how our platform allows you to generate incremental Ad revenue and boost User Experience with no risk to your website - there are no contracts.
We're not an Ad network! I'm sure you get loads of emails from them... Ezoic is a layer of machine learning that lives between your Ads and readers. The tech uses AI to curate the exact Ad compositions (size, color, location, etc.) that resonate best with each unique visitor.
Is increasing Ad revenue and making your site more reader friendly something you might be interested in?
Cheers,
Emily

It would be my presumption, If i may presume, to perhaps accept adverts as a means of driving more people to this blog. I happen to believe Dave Sim’s work is definitely worth viewing by those that have not seen it before, but I must also confess to hating adverts on any website. It’s a conundrum that is a fact of modern life I suppose.

Um, all of the most vigorous virtue signallers have no virtue; true virtue doesn't need to be signaled. I'd say it's more pertinent to say that you can't virtue signal if you don't believe there's any such thing as "virtue."
I've sent you some scans of AFOTBRF.
Tony, as usual, is on point.
Except when he doesn't agree with me.
And, I'm pretty sure that Mr. Dow is smart enough to ignore (except for reprinting them--sheesh!) obviously bad people.
Go, Dow! (Well, not the evil chemical company, but my friend in Wisconsin with the three beautiful ladies. Go, Dow!!!)
And, BTW, isn't Ezoic pretty much what led to The Terminator?
I really, really, really hope that I die peacefully before then ...
I think that Emily is a robot, or just some identity deeply embedded in Ezoic's AI computer-driven desire to get rid of the nasty-smelling flesh-bags.
I really, REALLY, really hope that I won't live that long.
To quote a line from the brilliant show, "Everybody Loves Raymond":
"Come on, comet!"
Comic metaphysics time:
I was bored last (Saturday) night and decided to do a "Dave Sim" eBay search, which lead to my noticing a number of auctions for a music mag called Hot Wacks with art by Dave.
Checking in on FanGirls' site I see Margaret has two issues listed - which in all the year's I've looked over her listings I'd never noticed.
But here's something else of Dave's worth having posted here in quality scanned images. And where's the original art? And how about Dave giving us his history behind this project; I've got absolutely no recollection of ever reading anything from Dave where he talks about these stories.

Thanks for resurrecting my old Patty meets Cerebus tale. I don't know where the original art for that is these twenty some years later and haven't seen it for awhile. When Dave told me he wanted to feature Patty in that issue (200?) I surprised him with that mash-up story. I didn't know that a few years later I'd be doing free-lance licensed work, getting paid to draw other people's characters. In this story I did it for free and for fun. I didn't have a computer than, and did all the grey on Cerebus the traditional way, cutting Zip-O-Tone.
