HOW MANY COPIES OF PIECES OF TURTLES 8 ARE THERE?

Hi, Every"HOW MANY COPIES OF PIECES OF TURTLES 8 ARE THERE?!?"body...

Geez, you guys seem a little on edge...

Anyway...
"HOW MANY COPIES OF PIECES OF TURTLES 8 ARE THERE?!?"
"UH-HUH, THAT'S GREAT...HOW MANY COPIES OF PIECES OF TURTLES 8 ARE THERE?!?!?"
The ol' AMOC Fax machine has been ringing off the hook:




Anybody got scans of the Bi-Weekly notes?

Wanna send them to Mikhail?

He'll be your best friend...

"HOW MANY MOTHER #$%&ING COPIES OF MOTHER #$%&ING PIECES OF MOTHER #$%&ING TURTLES MOTHER #$%&ING 8 ARE THERE YOU #$%&ING PIECE OF $#!*?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"

Has anybody told you that you seem really stressed out?

Ya know what's good for that?

A vacation:

"I hate you so god damn much right now, Dow... So god damn much..."

Cheer up Imaginary AMOC reader who lives rent-free in my head. When I got back to civilization and listened to Brian's Excellent conversation with Dave, I faxed up and asked if the 15th was the for truly cut-off for Pieces of Turtles 8, and he said:
And included this:

Anyway, I'll tell you how many copies there are...
"FINALLY!!!"
Right after this:
"You mother #$%&er..."
Anyway, then there's the NEXT chapter in the Dave & Mikhail Show:




See?

There might be a Russian Turtles 8.

Didn't you want to know that?

Huh?

Didn't ya?

"yeah..."

And now, from the Desk of Eddie Khanna:

For the Cheap seats:

And now that you know, you got a mission from Dave:

Alright, so if you are one of the forty-five other guys who ordered a copy of Pieces of Turtles 8 (Canadian Price Variant), let Dave know how you want your copy(ies). Either email Eddie: eddiesdoar@gmail.com, me: momentofcerebus@gmail.com or fax Dave: 5195760955 and let him know how you want your Pieces of Turtles 8: Signed. Signed with CAN#. Unsigned, and otherwise ready to get slabbed by CGC. Run through a shredder, because it's ironic. Whatever.

Speak now or forever regret it...

SPEAKING of regretting it, I bought 10 copies. I don't need 10 copies. So I'm selling off my extras for $25 American (free shipping). 
"HEY MAN! THEY WERE $25 CANADIAN FROM DAVE TWO DAYS AGO! THAT'S PROFITEERING!!!!!"
Indeed. But hanging out with a Johnny Depp like-a-look ain't exactly cheap...
Also A: I'm doing YOU a favor my slacker/miss-the-boat/procrastinator friend. and B: I'll include some treasures from the AMOChive, so it'll be worth your money. If you're interested in the second chance, email "Second Chance" to momentofcerebus@gmail.com, and tell me how ya want your book:
Signed with CAN#
Signed with no number
Unsigned unnumbered
I'm gonna try to get Dave to sign my copy:
Peter Eastman
Kevin Laird
Daveatello
Dave Sim
I hope he goes for it...

For real Sim completists - completionists? - ah, whatever - Clifford Meth posted this and a few here might be interested for the Dave intro:-
Sadly, our friend, the writer/artist Bill Messner-Loebs (Flash, Wonder Woman, The Maxx) has fallen on hard times again. He and his wife, who is not in the best of health, are currently residing in a temporary residence while Bill seeks work. At age 73, that isn't as easy as it should be. While I can only hope other publishers will have work for him, I've developed a project for Bill that will take time to unfold--in the meantime, we have some books that Aardwolf published in 2005, and a handful with bookplates SIGNED by Dave Cockrum, Bill, and myself. THREE TENORS OFF KEY features an introduction by Dave Sim and an Afterword by the late, splendid Tom Spurgeon. SIGNED books just are $25 each plus $3 for postage. Please contact me directly if you'd like one.
So, help a brother out, huh?

For those of us who don’t do the Facebook, does Clifford Meth have an email or snail mail for those of us who want that book? Thank you kindly.

And thank you Matt and Eddie for checking in on the Turtles thing for me. I’m going to email Eddie next.

And thanks to Dave for the surprise in the package from Hobbs’ last Kickstarter. A very nice bonus there!

Sorry, but this post is incoherent.

1. What is “Pieces of Turtles 8” (Contents, page count, price)?
2. Where is it sold?

Thank you.

Anonymous,

Pieces of Turtles 8 is a 16 page "fanzine" being produced by Dave. It's the back matter for the Remastered Turtles 8, coming next year. Because Turtles 8 is already 45 pages long, the back matter will most likely be trimmed down for the finished book.

Dave sold it for $25 Canadian on Cerebus Downloads up until the 15th. (If you listened to Please Hold For Dave Sim this month, he announced it there.)

A $25 American edition is going up on Kickstarter next month or the month after. Same book, most likely, higher price. (Although Dave MIGHT find more material to put in the American price variant...)

I'm profiteering and selling eight of my ten copies of the 125 Canadian Price versions for $25 American, so that Cerebus fans who missed out can still get a rare Cerebus collectable. (I already sold #9.)

This week's biggest laugh: "You have to be aware of what the text is actually saying." So ... someone other than Dave Sim then.
