The Larry Shell auction (now with fixed link!) I found out what the deal is:
Longtime collector and comics professional, Larry Shell, is having a difficult time right now. Due to his being slightly disabled from two spinal surgeries over the past seven years, he is unable to work and earn a living anymore. This has caused his home of close to 45 years to fall into disrepair and the township he lives in has given him 30 days to make at least some of the repairs or face consequences which could ultimately lead to the house being condemned. It is livable and just needs a lot of exterior work.
To this end, Larry has contacted many of his comic book and strip cartoonist friends to donate a piece of Original Art for an auction to help pay for the repairs, starting with his roof, which has a large hole in it and is leaking into two rooms, one of which is his bedroom! This needs to be dealt with asap!
Among the artists and collectors who have generously donated an original to help Larry are: Neal Adams, Daniel Clowes, Rick Parker, Dave Sim, Michael W. Kaluta, Mark Schultz, Timothy Truman, Butch Guice, Mort Walker Studio, Joseph Michael Linsner, Art Spiegleman, Mark Newgarden, Thomas Yeates, Denis Kitchen, Rick Veitch, Tom Morgan, Mitch O'Connell, Ron Randall, Howard Chaykin, Rich Tommaso and many others!
The auctions are now live on the Heritage Auctions site and end on Sunday July 21st.
You can access the pieces here.

Much respect for Dave’s approach to Ollman. He praises his work and maintains his integrity. I think he should pursue the request to use this work in SDOAR, keep trying to reach people even if they knock him back.
In the end any Canadian Indy Comics exhibition that doesn’t include Cerebus or anything else of Dave’s work could hardly make a claim it was complete.
Last point to make is it’s not only Dave’s art that they’re likely jealous of but also the writing (I say this as not having read any of the other authors comics - having it heard of them until now), but I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t have the same scope, research and plain talent that Dave has.
Huh...here I thought the "they're jealous because you draw better" was sly irony observed by Dave, seeing that Carson has been drawing "Strange Death."
Of course an exhibit of Canadian independent comics without Cerebus is woefully incomplete, but to compare this slight with Red China in the 60s? Let's get a little perspective here.
Well said, David. Couldn't agree more.
David B. once again promulgates the zombie lie that the comic industry shunned him. This is a lie, David, and you know it. He wasn't driven out; he left. It doesn't comport with Dave's "poor me" "comics' greatest pariah" narrative, I guess.
