Cerebus Around the World and Web #123 by Oliver Simonsen

Oliver Simonsen:

This will be my last Sunday column - I've really enjoyed it. Maybe a little too much - it's maybe a little more time consuming than I'd like to admit:). Want to thank Dave and Matt for giving me this prime "Moment of Cerebus" real estate - very kind.

Only a little over a week left of the amazing kickstarter Cerebus Volume 14, the long out of print Graphic Novel by Dave Sim & Gerhard, now Expanded and Remastered in hard and softcover - arguably a major turning point in Dave's photorealism drawing style. Plus EXTRAS (click link for all)

"Coincidentally" came across this story about "coincidences" featuring Alex Raymond, Matt Dillon and Carl Jung. A Alex Raymond is the great uncle of movie star Matt Dillon story featuring this Dr Carl Jung quote:
"Meaningful coincidences are thinkable as pure chance. But the more they multiply and the greater and more exact the correspondence is, the more their probability sinks and their unthinkability increases, until they can no longer be regarded as pure chance but, for lack of a causal explanation, have to be thought of as meaningful arrangements."

This Week on Living the Line's Formalism Friday: The primary subject, Andrew White 's book, 'M', goes under the magnifying glass. And, unsurprisingly, Cerebus' is never far from the Gang's thoughts...

Cerebus film praise: This really took me back, I hadn't read the early issues in decades - but you brought it to life and gave Cerebus a voice, one that sounds not too far removed from how I imagined it would be. Excelsior!

New review of Cerebus issue 1: While it would later acquire literary heft, Cerebus the Aardvark’s arrival in the late 1970s was a breath of ground-level fresh air. Dave Sim’s art in this debut is noticeably crude, but it’s also bristling with energy; already, he’s pushing the envelope with creative storytelling techniques. (click link for more)
