PREVIEWS 2022 (Dave's Weekly Update #413)

Hi, Everybody!

It's that time of the month:

What? No!



I suggested Batvark: A Poet in the Family.

And I wrote Vark Wars: Walt's Empire Strikes Back.

So, I should be getting free books in the mail...

You guys gotta buy them though. So I'd be talking to your Local Comic Shop...

And F.O.C. is coming quick-like for Coronavirus Book and Swords of Cerebus in Hell?: Volume 9

ANNNNNDD, Sean fixed the Aardvark Short Sword & Flames covers that Dave's selling through AMOC:

As Sean said:
Just wanted to make these look a little more like what they do in person. here are curves-adjusted scans of the unsold ones for your post today!


That Sean's a genius...


Give him some money.


I mean, could YOU digitally fix them covers?

OH!

And he also said:


Hello everyone! Sean here with a quick update.

A few weeks ago I received an unbound copy of Strange Death, sent to me by the printer prior to binding to confirm that all pages are indeed accounted for! The copy they sent me looks fantastic, and has everything in place, which I told them in all possible haste.

And I haven't been the only hasty one! The bindery has managed to complete the job several weeks ahead of schedule, and as of yesterday, the current plan is to ship out ALL shipments (Diamond, Carson, myself, and a few others) on the 25th. Yes, on Monday the books will be indeed on their way to their penultimate destinations!

Once we've confirmed delivery, and once Carson has had a chance to process all of this, we'll be able to get you some early delivery estimates.

Thank you all for sticking with us during this trying process. We know it's been a long trip to get here, but we cannot wait to actually get the book in your hands!

All the best,
Sean
p.s. Carson and I have both been very busy over the past few weeks on the Living the Line YouTube channel. Our most recent videos are discussing, among other things, Osamu Tezuka's Phoenix, Cerebus, the Greatest Used Bookstore in the US of A, and an in-depth interview with Cerebus-influence oil painter magpie NFN Kalyan. Check it out!

p.p.s. currently planning three (!) books for the back half of 2022. If you all have some ideas for a project you'd like to see in print, feel free to drop a line to livingthelineproductions at gmail dot com. I'm always eager to see what folks have been up to!
Seriously, give him a couple of bucks...

Next Time: Sheeeet...I gotta do this again?
