Cerebus fan Pam Heinze says of the Cerebus film: "Wow! I just watched it! It was great!"
(I asked if i could share here and she kindly responded: "I would love it if you did! Thank you for making it a reality!")

The start and end of the film production:).

You might recall Blake Andrew Roten's review of the Cerebus film "I watched your Cerebus CG animated Indie Movie on Plex, and it was a whole lot of fun to watch" "...very lively and ambitiously entertaining..."

Blake has now seen the film TWO additional times on Tubi requesting a sequel and/or other projects. Which begs the question, what do I do with myself now?:)

Sean Michael Robinson: this week Carson and I took a look at the genius art of the late, great Gene Day, from the last twenty issues of Shang Chi, Master of Kung Fu. Included is a lot of discussion of Gene's influence on Dave, and the reverse as well.
(Thanks to whomever posted their recent Cerebus MOKF sighting! That was what inspired this dive.)
