VARK WARS: WALT'S EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
And there is more High Society than you can shake a baby at.
As it is Sunday, we turn once again to Oliver Simonsen who scours the Internet (well, mostly Twitter...) and churns up EVERY reference to Cerebus, Dave Sim, Gerhard, glamourpuss, The Strange Death of Alex Raymond, etc...
EVERY reference.
Good.
Bad.
And ugly.
Let's do it...

Gerhard during coronavirus:
http://gerhardart.com/dealing-with-it/
1) Stay indoors… check!
2) Isolate yourself… check!
3) Limit social contact… check!
(Finally, my job as an artist breaks in my favor.)
And remember to “…temper fear with reason, panic with patience and uncertainty with education…”

AJ Diesel at "CBSl - comic book invest" finds Cerebus cathartic: "I always refer to comic books as my catharsis. They’ve always helped me in hard times, and this was certainly no different. I just started going through boxes and boxes of books. I was smiling and reading them and I found that peace in comic books that has always been there.So I started pulling some books that caught my eye."

New Todd McFarlane interview: "Dave Sim did Cerebus, did 300 issues. Now, we're going to have issue #301, which is the longest running creator-owned book in the history of mankind. So, I'm quite proud of that, especially as somebody who has been wailing off and on forever, seems like, about creator rights, officially since '92 when we formed Image Comics, and every issue thereafter now becomes that one" https://icv2.com/articles/news/view/45378/icv2-interview-todd-mcfarlane-part-2

Kenneth W. Lieck shares Dave Sim's contribution to the comic anthology "AARGH - Artists Against Raving Government Homophobia".
The comic was designed to aid the fight against Clause 28, which was a controversial amendment to the Local Government Act 1988, a British law which was designed to outlaw the "promotion of homosexuality" by local authorities

Matt, you are referring to
"One of those Dave Sim phonebooks or Comic 2000 should last you throughout crisis"
and the nonsensical
"Sad to cancel my Cerebus comic festival but I am being sued by Dave sims for claiming his comic book gave me coronavirus"
which is just odd.
Some tweets don't smell like roses and some are just weird, but i think it will give a skewed view if people think there's nothing but high praise alone out there. I do try to emphasize that there is a lot and certainly better than it was. My idea was to give a snapshot somewhat of the current zeitgeist. Give a mix. Anyway, odd public display on your part and hey no problem now i know and will post accordingly.
Oliver,
I abject to "Probably more efficient to stack those cerebus phonebooks up and use them as a squatty potty"
I can understand the impulse to not just focus on the glowingly positive, but talking about shitting on Dave's work? Yeah, that's where I've drawn my line.
Matt
(And the other guy I probably would have run, but joking about Dave suing you in relation to a pandemic is also over my line.)
To be clear that was the third reply to the tweet. I'll be more careful if you want, but i can't control replies to any website article, youtube video, instagram post or twitter.
(On a different note - i just want to add: for those who maybe posted something Saturday and don't see it here. I try to finish up first thing Saturday morning so anything after that it will be in next Sunday's edition.)
Thank you for this every week, Oliver. It's a fun digest to peruse. I don't click on everything, but I do read it all.
JLH, as great as individual posts can be as we look back on Cerebus' classic past and look forward to Cerebus' new exciting projects - the column's mostly about the vast quantity of the posts in the NOW. The sheer magnitude of Cerebus chatter in the present. A celebration of the brand's relevance, endurance and awareness really...one could say it's a Cerebus world and we just live in it, but I won't be that hyperbolic - instead I'll let the massive proof posted each and every Sunday speak for itself:).
"Brand?" That's right up there with "product" in the keck hierarchy of terms used to refer to a creative endeavor.
Dave Sim himself uses both terms when referring to Cerebus
