Misprinted, 2nd Printing & Halloween Edition Comic Books Signed + Name This Penguin

 More bonus content for Christmas week:


It's cold in Canada Land, eh?

Dave sacrifices his lower back for the fans


Dave's copies of Cerebus In Hell? 2021 came in.  (Is it a calendar?  Is it a comic book?  Yes.)


Actual orders were the lowest this year.  It's all new content, not just previews,
so your collection is ruined if you didn't order one.  Don't blame the messenger.


Or did they?


Infinity cover on the upper left, a CIH? first!


As much as we would have loved to sell this many copies the actual order was a bit lower.  And then there's the cover.   It's on backwards.  Yes, again.  For the second time this year there's a backwards edition.  Unlike the earlier misprinted The Amicable Spider-Vark, only the copies sent to Dave and his collaborators will be saved.  The other 2000-and-something copies are being destroyed.


Again he ruins the low back and the wrist for his art

All New Cover Blurb and Genitalia!


Also in from the printer, Batvark XXXXX 2nd Printing.  This cover has been bound correctly.  If you bought a copy of the Spawn 10 Halloween Edition on October 31st you will receive a copy of both of these comics as well as a copy of the Spawn 10 Halloween Edition AP (Artist Proof).  There were 54 copies sold on October 31st.  This will be a rare but welcome late Christmas present for those buyers.  They have shipped but Dave asks you to keep in mind that the Canada Post is running slower than usual due to incompetence... err Covid-19.  The Spawn 10 AP (just-sold-by-themselves-copies) have shipped as well.  The Waverly Press edition has a different color theme and was sold separately.


All New Dave Sim Art with color by Sean Michael Robinson!


Combined there are 160 copies of this comic.  Pretty dang rare,  but still not the rarest Spawn 10, but that's for another day.  What?  What's the blurred message?  Sorry, it's too controversial for a family blog.  Ask someone who bought one.


And finally...


Dave Sim, penguin lover


Name this Penguin.  Dave will pick his favorite and the winner will receive a copy of Cerebus In Hell? 2021 Misprinted Edition.  Dave will sign it or not sign it (unless he forgot to not sign one in which case this is your semi-official disclaimer).  Try to get your suggestions in by the next time Dave and Matt talk in early January so the big reveal can happen during January 2021's Please Hold for You Know Who.


Later today:  Margaret isn't done yet

Tomorrow:  Christmas message from Dave and Saint Luke

I would name him Stubby.

Looking like a Mr. Bungles to me. That face just has the expression of having bungled something up real good.

That penguin looks like his name could be Vorman Vode, aka Dave's favorite Cerebus book.

In a nod to Mrs. Cobblepot's little boy, I say name the penguin Ozzie.
