Hi, Everybody!
My SDOAR Review will NOT be seen today so I can bring you the following IMPORTANT Updates:
First, as "Ron Essler" posted to the Faceybooks:
Since he's the one who asked, (and the Naming was left up to me...) Tomorrow at Noon, that's I say that's twelve o'clock, PM that is. Eastern Standard Time (New-York-City time). CerebusOverload.com will be starting their:
Ray of Hope 2021 Sale! (Soon to be the Ray of Nope Sold Out! if you DON'T act fast...)
EVERYTHING is 40% off.
"Everything?" you ask.
"EVERYTHING!" I answer.
Everything that The Waverly Press has in their grubby little mitts.
Act fast, as some items have ten or less copies available.
The first TWENTY-FIVE (25) people to spend a hundred bucks or more get a complementary copy of the 1993 Spawn #10!
And EVERY order gets a COMPLEMENTARY trading card!
(I know, it's crazy!)
So if you're missing any Waverly Press related Cerebus item, you have a "Ray of Hope". (And if you "snooze", you'll have a Ray of Nope, because the Sale ENDS on Sunday December 12th.)
"But 'Ron', how do we ensure we get this amazing offer?" you ask.
By adding whatever items you wanna purchase to your cart, and entering the code: SANTA at checkout. It's NOT automatically applied. You HAVE to enter the code. SANTA. Type in SANTA when it asks for your code. At checkout. Starting at Noon tomorrow, December 1st. Until Sunday, December 12th.
"First Come: First Cervix" as Squinteye would say.
(I honestly don't know if you can use the code twice, but I infer that as long as it's between noon on the 1st of December, and Sunday the 12th of December, you're golden.)
You're welcome Raymond...
Don't worry, I'll be mentioning this for the next twelve days...
Two: Grubaugh to know (get it, like that Alanis Morrisette song "You Outta Know". Huh? Huh? Ya get it, right?):
Update things from Carson:Holiday Gift and a Post-Campaign Contest
Hello Backers!
The vast majority of you should have received your books by now and any lingering issues are being cleared as fast as we can manage.
As a thank you for your support I wanted to give you all the gift of a lucrative exploit you can use against Amazon, as well as to announce a contest for two pages of original art from the book.
........................................
Firstly, the Amazon Exploit.
I did this five years ago, and have just done it again, walking away with a gigantic haul of free books. A video of the haul and a tutorial on the exploit will be posted to the YouTube on Saturday once they all arrive.
Here is the trick.
Amazon offers store credit for signing up for Amazon credit cards. They currently offer $200 for the Amazon Prime Signature Card, $100 for the Amazon Store card and $125 for the Amazon AmEx Business account card. Just search those names on Amazon and apply for the cards to get the free money. You can apply for all three.
I read the agreements carefully and there are no fees attached to owning the cards and no obligation to use them. I did this five years ago and got a couple hundred dollar of Amazon store credit. I just did it again over the weekend and walked away with the full $425 of store credit. I blew it all on comics. Happy Hanukkah, me.
The only risk is, whichever card gets approved last will be your new default payment option, so before you order anything go to your account and switch back to whatever payment option you actually want to be using, i.e. your actual credit card. That will make sure you don't accidental charge anything to a card you aren't watching, or have your Amazon Prime renewal show up on one of the store cards (this happened to me the first time I did this).
When the cards come in the mail, chop em up, throw em away, and forget you have the line of credit. In four or five years they will expire, and hopefully we can all benefit from Amazon's... generosity? again.
If you use some of that store credit to order a second SDAOR for a friend, that would be awesome. Either way, Happy holidays, enjoy whatever you spend all that free money on.
.....................................................
The Contests
I am going to run two different contests on Instagram. Each one will lead to one person winning a page of my original SDAOR art.
Contest 1:
Post a photo of yourself to Instagram - we gotta see your face - with your copy of SDOAR and use #strangedeathofalexraymond. You have until the end of January.
Want more chances? Tell a friend about the Amazon Exploit, have them use it to order a copy and post a photo with their copy and their Amazon invoice. Or, use the exploit to order them a copy and post a photo with the invoice.
Contest 2:
On Instagram post a screenshot of a Strange Death review you have produced on either Goodreads or Amazon and use #sdoareview (one "r" not two!). You have until the end of January to do this as well.
OF COURSE you can enter both contests.
I will use a random number generator to pick the winners and do it live as a video for our channel and announce the results in early February.
Free shipping of the art to anyone in the US. If you are an international customer you can still enter but will have to pay the shipping fees for the art, because if this campaign has taught us anything it is that international shipping is expensive and a real pain in the tuchus. Stupid sovereign countries with different rules and stuff.

DOGS
Bucha went on her first hike a couple of days ago and freaking loved it.
She is very grateful that you all have been here while she grew from smaller than her head is now to the shredded beastie she is today.
After the hike the dogs were so pooped they wound up like this.
I tried to explain to Bucha that the optics on this were not the best, but she was not impressed with my explanation.
Best
Carson
So, there ya go.
