Cerebus Around the World and Web #80 by Oliver Simonsen

Oliver Simonsen:


There are now two kickstarters in the Cerebusverse at the same time! A historical first? Both campaigns are already huge successes.
Also tomorrow is Dave Sim's Bday! See my card in last Sunday's column:)

New kickstarter kid on the block is run by Benjamin Hobbs who does the incredible covers for "Cerebus in hell?" http://kck.st/3y4bszZ

In an interview with Barry Windsor Smith the Guardian gives a shoutout to Dave Sim, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. From the article: "The email interview was courteous but, my goodness, it was curt; his replies were half the length of my questions. He seems happy, for the most part, to keep his counsel. He ignored – among others – questions about his memories of Stan Lee and what Kirby meant to him; Dave Sim’s affectionate spoofing of his Conan work in Cerebus the Aardvark; why in the early 1980s he double-barrelled his name from Barry Smith to Barry Windsor-Smith, and how he feels about seeing the Marvel and DC universes, once countercultural, taking their place in the mainstream."

Review of Cerebus #33 and the expanding Cerebusverse: "...as long as Dave is writing funny sketches with his various characters, I don't really care about the plot." "...here in this issue, for the first time we have Dave Sim taking a character out on his own, showing his own agency and living his own story." https://twitter.com/GrunionGuy/status/1391792969968091142

Review of issue 34: High Society is where he really solidifies his style. He then begins to perfect it after partnering with Gerhard who takes away Dave's distraction of having to choose between drawing immersive backgrounds or inking all the panels black.

Michael T. Gilbert shares much belated Bday surprise (for full story click link) (Thank you Larry Wooten!)
https://www.facebook.com/michael.t.gilbert/posts/10160197746824367
"With Creepy gone, it seemed that my dream of getting a story published in Creepy was over.
Until last week.
When I returned from my four-day birthday vacation, I found a surprise birthday package waiting in my mailbox. A friend from Spain, Manuel Ruiz, had sent me a 1982 Spanish edition of Creepy. Imagine my shock when I opened the issue and found a four-page story I’d written and drawn in 1982! The story, “Flush!,” had been published in Cerebus #42 (Sept. 1982), as one of their “Unique Stories” backups. But I was at a loss to figure out how it had wound up in Creepy…or why this was the first I’d heard of it."
I can finally say that I had that early dream of mine fulfilled.
Now that’s what I call a VERY, VERY belated birthday surprise!"
