"I'LL BE BACK LATER!!"

Hi, Everybody!


"You can call someone 'lord' as an honorific and be addressing a peer, but not necessarily a superior."
Really Dave?
(I'm such a little $#!* sometimes...)

Hey guess what?

I got my Pieces of Turtles 8.2:

Larry got his.

Ya know who DIDN'T get theirs?

All ya'lls who didn't get your request in to Eddie at eddiesdoar@gmail.com, with HOW you want your Pieces of Turtles 8.2. You should maybe do that. RIGHT NOW!
___________________________
And Death's Dark Treaders, my lil' band of Rebels, has gotten $XX,XXX together to try and purchase all 22 pages of original art to Cerebus #4. There are seventeen eighteen of us. (I'ma NOT giving the exact amount, because I don't want "the enemy" to know EXACTLY how much we're bidding...)

The deal is, as of right now, $2,000 guarantees you get a page of original art. More money moves you up the list for picking which page you get. (Dave gets first pick.) If you wanna kick in $4,000, you get TWO pages (we got TWO guys who did just that.) If you wanna kick in LESS than $2,000, you aren't guaranteed a page, but if we get less than 22 people, than everybody who pledges less than $2,000 gets a page too. As of RIGHT NOW, 21 of 22 pages are "claimed", ten are GUARANTEED, the other eleven are theirs if "mo money" doesn't show up and kick them down the list. (It'll probably happen...)

But, EVERYBODY who pledges gets prints of all 22 pages and the recreated cover.

This MADNESS ends on Thursday, so if you got the money, and want in, momentofcerebus@gmail.com with your pledge. And if you DON'T have two grand sitting around, burning a whole in your pocket, but wanna try your luck at getting a page, same email (I'd recommend pledging MORE than a hundred bucks...). AND if you got a little extra money, and would like to kick in to the original intention of getting as much of the art back to Dave as we can (okay, the MODIFIED original intent,) same email again. Just tell me how much, and what you want me to use the money for. And thanks again if you've already pledged, you are loved. By somebody. Probably. (Or not.)

This is what I meant. Lord Julius sent Jaka to get Cerebus to inadvertently piss off the Legislature. Dude knew what his was doing...

Right, right, Sotto voce...



Panel 1: If Blakely is SO important (we'll come back later), why does the registration clerk not know him?

Right, right, Sotto voce...

Dave, suggesting Biblical scholars are over-thinking something in the text. Nice!

Also, I bet the Blakely gag is an enactment of a story about some supposedly well known comics editor going unrecognized or non-VIPed at some comics convention.

My take is that Blakely was more of a legend-in-his-own-mind than anything else.

PS That's an early Sienkiewicz (sp?) riff on the "angry Astoria" face (I didn't ASK for your OPINION!), if I'm not mistook.
