Clearing some things up.

Hi Everybody!

If you missed the Waverly Press Kickstarter for the Remastered Cerebus #1, limited overflow of the rewards are available at cerebusoverload.com. SPEAKING OF WHICH: Oliver shared on the Faceity-bookees a link to a Bleeding Cool article about the Regency Edition of High Society from the Waverly Press:
Last month, Bleeding Cool reported that Canadian publisher Waverley Press

Actually from New York. And only one "e". Waverly. Waverly.

was to begin publishing Cerebus in hardcover,

That's a big maybe. Like, as far as I know, they're starting with one: 

beginning with the most popular Cerebus collection, the second volume, High Society.

Now, if it sells gangbusters, maybe they'll do the rest, but THAT IS ALL SPECULATION!!! NOTHING has been announced, hinted at, or rumored. The Waverly Press is doing High Society. That's it. 

And that this would be the first time Dave Sim's Cerebus will have been collected in hardcover – if you don't count the French and Spanish editions.

Or the Italian one. Or the fan made ones.

High Society: The Regency Edition collects issues 26-50 of Cerebus with "32 additional pages of rarities from the Cerebus Archive." It will also be limited to 150 sets, which is probably Dave Sim's entire reading audience now,

Anybody got a sweater? Cause it's cold over here in the shade... 

each signed by Dave Sim, and "accompanied by a collection of unique "Artifacts" including a poster, signed print, and a special anniversary edition of Cerebus No. 26, all created exclusively for this edition, and housed in a bespoke slipcase."

And now we have a price, courtesy of this unboxing of a Cerebus #1 recreation

That's...that's MY video!  


It will sell from between $125 and $295, presumably between signed and sketched copies.

He's getting that price from the end of the video when I showed the inside of the Expanded Edition of
the Remastered #1. The PROOF copy of the expanded edition.

NOTHING is concrete yet. Those are just speculation prices.

Like, I THOUGHT I said, what was a proof, and what was what actually what people were getting. If anybody is confused by that, watch the video and leave a comment here on what you wanna know about.

And there's a Kickstarter for Dave and Carson Grubaugh's You Don't Know Jack. The Newest Update:
Hello YDKJ backers!

Last week Carson and I were tossing around some ideas for different ways we could thank you all for your incredible support. And what we finally decided on? A Lisa Frank-themed battle royale. It's what 2020 needed, NAY, DEMANDED -- a You Don't Know Jack Lisa Frank* Holographic Sticker Death MATCH!

*not actually affiliated with Lisa Frank™, Trapper Keeper®, or Bitchen Unicorn LLC Inc™®. Please don't hurt us!
Holographic sticker DEATH MATCH

Above are mockups of 4.5 You Don't Know Jack! holographic stickers! We will be producing one of these fine products at the conclusion of the Kickstarter, and including one into each package we send out (possibly a few more if you pledged for a boatload of stuff!).

But in the meanwhile, we need your help determining which mockup we should go with. So for the next twenty-four hours, we'll be accepting votes on these. Just indicate in the comments below, or in the project comments, WHICH of the four.five designs you like most, with the one receiving the most votes chosen as the final design. Any votes for either One A or One B will be tallied together to avoid splitting the vote. (That's right, Uncle Sam, we here at You Don't Know Jack! Enterprises know that, when it comes to Fair and Free Holographic Elections, ranked choice voting is the only way to go.)

So, which one of these would you like to find in YOUR package? Let us know below!

All the best,

Sean and Carson

And thanks to Brian West and Carson, Jack's gonna be live on a YouTube show tonight. Thanks Brian!

And here's today's Monday Update form Dave:

Okay, I was gonna try cleaning up some of the pile of stuff I need to get posted, but really it's been a long day.

So, today's lesson: take EVERYTHING Rich Johnston posts about Dave and Cerebus with a grain of salt. A lot of grains, like, have you ever seen the Salt Lake in Utah?

Next Time: I have no idea anymore...

Happy to be of service, Matt!

I think that the sticker of Jack-One A is based on the drawing of her holding up her shirt and showing us Band-Aids afixed to her breasts, covering her nipples. Which I think is an homage to the (very) old Saturday Night Live sketches featuring the brilliant Gilda Radner as (?) and the equally brilliant Bill Murray as Todd, as high schoolers. In which sketches Todd would ask (?), as they're sorta, kinda, making out, "Do you want some Band-Aids for those mosquito bites?"

Just guessin' here. But, if true, nice homage, and kudos to Jack for going along with it.

Surprised it has taken this long to get Cerebus in hardcover

Tony Dunlop said...

I'm surprised it's happening at all, considering how long Dave has been saying "After I'm dead" about hardcover editions of Cerebus.
