Cerebus Around the World and Web #100 by Oliver Simonsen

Oliver Simonsen:

Jeff Seiler, who did the voice of "Elrod the Albino" in our film, passed away - as I told him his Elrod sequence alone is worth the price of admission.

There was another actor lined up to do the Elrod voice, but when it turned out Seiler was up for it, well, it was a no brainer as anyone who has seen his amazing rendition here knows
Jeff Seiler said of the voice recording for the film at the time (way back in 2010!): 
This was a blast to do. Oh, and you should know that since Larry Hart left his boots in the back of my van after we got back from SPACE, I had to mail them to him. I told him not to worry about reimbursing me, and he said he'd send the money to charity. So I suggested he help pay for the recording session. He said that he had *actuallly* earmarked $30 for the postage, so he sent me that to cover the cost of the session. Synchronicity is what he called it.
I think Larry should have some sort of credit for this--perhaps a thank you at the end credits. Also a shout-out to Lake Street Studios and Taylor Brugman for doing the recording would be nice.
Ron shares a picture of Seiler debuting his wonderful Cerebus magazine

Margaret shares info on the series in the comments. Seiler kindly included my own Cerebus comic in an issue where I also did the backcover. He even featured an interview with me regarding our film

Jeff was not only an actor, comic illustrator, proofreader and publisher but also, of course, very immersed in Cerebus fandom - here seen with many fellow fans. For a while this get-together became a tradition. Click link for more pics

As a thank you to their first 250 subscribers, Sean Robinson and Carson Grubaugh of Living the Line are joined by the sensational painter NFN Kalyan for a celebration of Dave Sim's comics masterwork, Cerebus. This is the first video in an ongoing series.
This first episode is dedicated to Cerebus superfan and restoration proofreader Jeff Seiler. Rest in peace, Jeff. Cerebus fandom will never be the same without you.

John Dimes draws Cerebus adding: "It's an amazing series, helmed by an extremely talented, and brilliant mind. Much like the character Elric of Melnibone', I'd love for someone to make some kind cinematic, or mini-series event with it."

Derek Thompson, Storyboard Artist and Supervisor at Pixar, draws Cerebus adding: "Speaking of self publishing, I was a big BIG fan growing up of Dave Sim's epic magnum opus, 'CEREBUS' ( especially the 'High Society'/'Church&State'/‘Jaka's Story' runs ), so it was a pleasure to do this commission piece."
