Speaking of real life, in addition to the late Jeff Seiler as Elrod - Michael Petranech who did the voices for Necross/Thrunk, Despuess, Pigts and more may have passed away. Possibly quite some time ago too. I can't say for certain as of yet:(

Here's a look at the rest of the cast

(Will have to do one for various CGI Artists who did most of the work...not sure how though....there's so many.)

And last but not least, Cerebus fandom's Brian Lee Moore and Daniel Geduld - tried to keep it all in the family!:)

Brian, who did the voice for Bran Mak Muffin, issue 13's "Head Farmer" and "Farmer Bully", "Guard" from issue 4 and issue 1's "Tavern Keeper", made a movie where Dave kindly contributed a Cerebus design for a Sum Burger cap, a fastfood place in the movie, back in 2009. That's Brian in the red T-shirt (see below). He also came and visited me back in 2010.

And Daniel Geduld, if i remember correctly, did the Cerebus radio show in 2003? If I had thought of it sooner he probably would have done more voices - easypeasy:)

You can find the radio show episodes at Jeffrey Tundis' amazing site. (Jeff also did music for our Cerebus film.)

3 issues done as radio shows (see above) as well as animated - below are the main issues that form the basis of the Cerebus film. Issues 1, 4, 5 and 13 seen through the prism of the revelation in issue 196 of Cerebus' fractured destiny.
