And there's a Kickstarter for Dave and Carson Grubaugh's You Don't Know Jack. 

Latest Update:

Hello everyone!

With twelve days left of the campaign, we are squeaking ever-closer to $14,000, and to our larger stretch goal of $20,000, which will net all $15 and up backers digital files for You Don't Know Jack!, as well as PDF versions of "The Dave Sim Cut" of the book, as well as Dave's layouts for the entire book, in all of their fax-to-email glory, including a dozen or so strips that didn't make the final cut for the book!
Next week we're contemplating one or two more campaign add-ons we've been discussing, but in the meanwhile, here are two more Google Grab-Bag Madness sketches from the Hand of Carson!

You don't get pictures or videos, those are for CLOSERS...I mean BACKERS.

If you missed the Waverly Press Kickstarter for the Remastered Cerebus #1, limited overflow of the rewards are available at cerebusoverload.com. 

The discount code expired, but there may be more in the future. When I know, you'll know... And HEY! there's an update there too:

Hi everyone,

We're entering the final stage of production. The untrimmed cover press sheets arrived from the printer and they are stunning! The metallic inks look even better than anticipated, though the photos do not do them justice.

The "sketchbooks" have been printed and bound and the printer sent us finished photos.

Dave still has to sign the platinum editions and that's the last hurdle. We expect the books to be bound and en route to the office in about 2 weeks.

We still look to be on track to getting orders dispatched towards the end of the month.

Also, visit us at: cerebusoverload.com where you can pick up some great Cerebus rarities and get on the mailing list for upcoming collaborations with Dave Sim.

Enjoy the photos below!

 

Cerebus masks and whatnots with all the money going to Dave.

Those are from the hand of me. 

There's also "Cerebus in Hell? 4 Sell". With all the profits going to Aardvark-Vanaheim. The Designs:

I'm to inform you guys that: "new items will be added often so check back" (I'll let you know when I know. I got you.)

Okay, I WAS gonna start posting from the pile of faxes Dave sent, but Dave sent a fax first thing this morning:

Just so everybody's up to speed, Jeff posted:

Since Matt and I can't seem to communicate well, but (I think) like each other, I'm gonna post up here about the phone conversation that Dave and I had last ... um ... some day. Recently.

I had called him on the day on which I took home my new cat from the shelter.

I thought that Dave would like to know that I have named my cat Yusuf.

We talked about Yusuf and Joseph and his 11 (12?) brothers and such for a while. And, then, Dave said, "Cats *love* me."

I was, to say the least, very much taken aback. I think that that may be the only thing, in nearly 20 years, that Dave has said to me to which I had no effing idea how to respond

And:

And, then, he explained.

Every night, after fasting all day, Dave eats a can of tuna and a can of pineapple and, I think, something else. Dave told me, over the phone, as I'm starting to build up to laughing my ass off (which he and I both normally do when we speak on the phone or in person), and he explained.

"When I open the can of tuna each night, I drain the tuna water into a jar. When the jar gets full," Dave told me, "I take it out back to the garden and pour the tuna water onto the plants. And,then, the cats come running in."

I laughed out loud for a long time. A *long* time. I asked him, "Do they line up?" He said that he wasn't sure, but they definitely congregate.

After we laughed and laughed and laughed, we ended the call. I had to walk down the street to the store, but kept thinking about cats in Dave's back yard, and laughing.

And then, I called Dave back and left a message: "You should get Rolly to sell tickets to those cats."

I faxed that up to Dave, and he responded:

Ahem...

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

THAT'S hilarious.

The whole thing, Jeff getting it wrong, Dave's story. Everything. But mostly because it reminded me of this:

And (since Dave brought it up), we're doing Please Hold this week, so if you have questions for Dave comment here, email them to momentofcerebus@gmail.com, or THINK them at me REAL hard and hope I develop telepathy...(I would just stick to the first two...)

Next Time: I mean Dave said the ONE fax could last a week, and I don't have a week...
