Also, I got confirmation today that Gerhard is going to contribute new art to the book! We'll include him if we reach our $4000 Stretch Goal. So share the Monster Atlas word and help make sure we meet that goal! As soon as I have something to show you. I'll send you a preview.

Congratulations, Jason and Mrs. ABC! I know what your secret is: You're one of the nicest persons I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, Jason.
Three years?
I got eleven in nine days.
Matt
Thanks, Jeff! Truly, thank you for the kind words. And, well done, Matt! Happy early anniversary!
Mrs. X really liked the video and the nickname!
Funny story: so about a decade ago, I was gonna illustrate a CRIC story for Seiler about his crazy Canadian girlfriend, and was gonna do a joke where we call her "Madame X". And somebody says, "wait a minute." and gets a copy of the Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe and finds out Madame X was a Golden Age Captain America villain (that was revealed to be the Red Skull's sister-in-law (although nobody was sure if she was he's wife's sister, or his brother's wife.))
Well, it turns out there WAS a Marvel villain named Madame X. She fought Ant-Man.
Matt
Yup. There are only three people in our little AMOC circle who know just how crazy the crazy Canadian lady was/is.
Jeff never claimed to be a gentleman.

Actually, Damian, to claim to be a gentle man would be near the top of the list of hubris. At the top of which list I suspect that you reside.
What I try, daily, (when I'm not sleeping) is to be kind and nice.
You know -- not like you.
I have not observed this your self-described nice behaviour; rather, you seem to manifest more accurately a brutish tribalism -- "I'm nice to you until I think you've been nasty to me, and then I become your implacable enemy," to paraphrase yourself. So "kind and nice" with certain exceptions, obviously -- such as your repeated, ungentlemanly slagging, behind her back, of this third party you have labelled a Crazy Canadian Lady. You went so far as to make up and attribute to her a history of abuse that you admitted in the same post you had no evidence to suspect. It's behaviour like that which causes one to question the value of your degrees, even the ones you didn't award yourself when your grades didn't justify it.
-- Damian
Wow! The troll certainly took a long nap under that nice, warm bridge. But, he's awake now!
As to me "slagging" her behind her back, well, I would do it to her face. Except it's not "slagging"; it's telling the truth. I know two other people who were directly affected by her craziness and a third who was indirectly so affected. You could ask them, if they chose to be identified.
And, btw, I call her The Crazy Canadian Lady because I am too respectful to out her by her real name.
Say "hi" for me when you get back down under the bridge, please.
Interesting that it never occurred to you to, oh, perhaps not slag her. On someone else's blog. Dedicated to a topic other than "Jeff's ex-girlfriends".
-- Damian
Pretty sure you don't know her, so you're gonna have to take my, and his, and his, and her word for it. Craaaaazy.
"Dedicated to a topic other than "Jeff's ex-girlfriends"."
Well, except based on what we've read here over the years, it seems like that noun ought to be in the singular.
Tony, I think you're a good guy, unlike Damian, but *all* women (heck, all *people*) are crazy. And please note that I don't say her actual, (probably made-up [her name, not her]) real life name.
It's just that she was/is more crazy than most. She once bit me. Hard, And, not for sex.
She's, as Dave wrote in that Epic Magazine story (with the fake Sherlock Holmes), "Bug-Fuck Crazy". (Dave didn't know her then, so, it was not about her.) (Pretty sure about that.)
She BIT me. Purple and yellow bruises, she left on me.
Crazy Canadian Lady. It's what she does. Although, gotta say, a pretty good teacher.
Ask Dave, and the other guy, and the other (lovely) woman, just how crazy The Crazy Canadian Lady is.
I am , Tony, Dave's colleague, but only by proofreading.
He has been very kind and generous to me over the years. If you're not friends with him, you should be and then you will be.
But, someday?
Ask Dave about The Crazy Canadian Lady.
Or, the other guy. Or, the other guy's signicant other.
Or, the other guy.
You're not Dave's colleague, Jeff. I know it is very, very, very important to you that you be recognized as playing a chief supporting role in "The Dave Sim Story Featuring Cerebus". But your tail-wagging sycophancy (like Chester frolicking around Spike in that ol' Warner Bros. cartoon), and your enthusiasm to throw away your own mind and import what passes for Dave's, amount to a wholesale rejection of your own humanity. You may feel you are Dave's colleague, his supporter, his friend (ha!), but what you really are is his slave.
And it's no doubt this desire to be (seen to be) an "Inside People" that leads you to keep slagging this third party behind her back. You say that you do it behind her back because you can't do it to her face -- but has it ever occurred to you not to do it at all? But no; you can't let it go, because -- for a brief, shining, glorious moment! -- Dave was personally involved in your life! Ah, bliss!
For historical accuracy: Dave didn't come up with the term "bugfuck". Dave's Anything Goes story was satirizing a then-current issue in the comics field, involving writer Michael Fleisher suing Harlan Ellison (caricatured in the story) and The Comics Journal for besmirching his reputation by using the descriptor indicated.
-- Damian
Damian, as always, you never get things right. I did not say that Dave made up the phrase, "bugfuck crazy". I only referenced that comic in which he used the phrase.
And, because you haven't been paying attention, I will tell you again: Dave isn't friends with his readers/supporters, except for a select few, and even they sometimes get pissed off at him.
I think that you are jealous because Dave and I continue to stay in touch, and you have offended him many times over.
It is what you are wont to do, as usual. The troll has obviously not yet returned to his nice warm bed under the bridge.
Actually, sorry, I don't know who sometimes get pissed off at Dave among his select group of friends, if any of them. I can't and shouldn't speak for others. My bad.
Oh, Jeff, why would I be jealous because an undignified sycophant I don't respect is in touch with an ex-cartoonist whose relevance expired 25 years ago?
Dave's attitude toward friends varies depending on how much his schizophrenia and paranoia are acting up -- or, as Colleen Doran said often, whether "Other Dave" was in ascendance. He says both, "I don't have friends. My life is a series of hatred given and returns," and, "I have 4,000 friends," (the number of readers he than had; the number is perhaps half that now). Good of you to realize, belatedly, that you shouldn't speak for others.
You wrote, "as Dave wrote in that Epic Magazine story". True, you didn't say in so many words that he made up the appellation, but I think it is a reasonable inference from your statement. But go ahead, call me a troll again. Name-calling is the best you can do.
Meanwhile, perhaps you would behave in a more gentlemanly manner, and stop slagging third parties behind their back on a blog that's not about your love life.

Damian,
To be fair, I was the one who originally brought Jeff's ex up.
(I did use Jeff's shorthand, but mostly for brevity's sake.)
And I ONLY brought it up to explain a joke.
But Damian, Jeff, play nice.
You don't know each other, so don't be making personal assumptions to make personal attacks.
Or, to quote Roxanne Richie from MegaMind: "Girls, girls, you're both pretty. Can I go home now?"
Matt
(I mean he's not gonna let you get the last word in, Let. It. Go.)
Awww! Thanks, Matt!! I try to keep myself up.
I recommend strong, black coffee, Jeff!
