This is still neat as @#%&!!!!:
THANK YOU again "Mad Cerebus Gifter!" Truly, you are a Prince among Men. (Or a Princess among Women.) ((OR: a Royale among Humans (I don't wanna presume...).))

On Wednesday a huge nor'easter hit and my house and over 500K other people in this area by the cape lost power. I think power came back on Friday, but I was staying with a friend. So today I went to get my mail. After the rain the last night and from the last couple of days. . .
What I found in it blew my mind. . .Thank you Mad Cerebus Gifter!
(I would like it noted that she never called you "a Royale among Humans." I mean, she COULD HAVE. But, she didn't...) ((I HAVE to bust Mags chops. It's in my job description...))
But, seriously, Thank You! (Again and again and again and again and...)

A suggestion, not a question.
When Mikhail translates GUYS (I know I said when, I'm an optimist) perhaps Dave's incredible lettering should be left alone and instead of trying to do Cyrillic letters, they can insert pages with Russian translations next to the art instead.
So on the left page would be the dialogue printed in Russian and the right page would be the art. That way they have the meaning of the words while also getting the original and astounding lettering to enjoy.
I think even if the number of added pages resulted in Guys Vol. 1&2 and Rick's Story 1&2 (or however it works out) it would be worth it.
I've also been re=reading Form & Void and can appreciate it much more than I did before...a work of genius.
cheers,

I should add I realize my suggestion could be a logistical nightmare (could be?!?)and maybe Mikhail would enjoy the challenge of replicating Dave's lettering and in the spirt of artistic freedom perhaps that's the way to go.
I just think Guys and Rick's Story have the finest comic book lettering I've ever seen and wanted it preserved so others could enjoy it as well.
cheers,

Hey, only 25 copies of the Hard Bound Swords of Cerebus in Hell? vol 5 & 6 are left. And less than $3,000 will unlock that sweet, sweet Dr. Varkhatten trading card. Hurry, you don't want your peers pointing and laughing at you for missing out.

Grifters gonna grift...
I beg your pardon, Anonymous, but I must ask you to produce evidence that anyone that purchases Cerebus In Hell? merchandise is being misled in any way. I don’t make a dime from the hard bound volumes and pay full price for them. I think they are worth it.
Oh, David, you should know better than to feed the trolls...
Can't. Serious business. Slur on reputation.
Threaten to beat 'em up, David B. That's what you do, isn't it? And then chicken out?
The first paragraph of Dave's dribblings this week certainly reads like one of his essays. And his last paragraphs contains as much science as anything he's written. Funniest laugh this week: Dave replacing words in the text to make it read in accordance with his prejudices; let's remember this is the same fellow who excoriates people who alter the text to make it read in accordance with their prejudices. To paraphrase Richard Nixon, "When Dave Sim does it, it's not hypocritical."
