A Moment of the Strange Death of Alex Raymond: Day 7 Update

Jen DiGiacomo, Interim Head of SDOAR Division, Aardvark-Vanaheim, here once again. One week in and I already have my own logo. Well, my own logo surrounded by Matt's logo. Basically, two logos for the price of one, the brainchild of Manly Matt Dow and David Birdsong.


So welcome to Matt Dow's A Moment of Cerebus presents Jen DiGiacomo's A Moment of Strange Death of Alex Raymond a.k.a AMOCPAMOSDOAR a.k.a AMOSDOAR -- and the Strange Death of Alex Raymond 2023 GoFundMe update a.k.a. SDOAR 2023.

These acronyms are going to be the death of me. 

(Note to self, avoid using the word spartan.That word went over SO well last week.)

First up, another obligatory pull quote for Strange Death of Alex Raymond. “This is a master work. I’m honoured to have even laid eyes on it.” - E.S. Glenn, author of Unsmooth, cartoonist for The New Yorker

The New Yorker and British spelling. That's what we call class, Holmes.

Anyhoo, seven days in and the SDOAR 2023 GoFundMe campaign has raised $1934 from 34 donors. That means we've unlocked nine new pages in one week, plus the four we launched with, bringing our grand total to 13 new SDOAR mocked up pages available via Dropbox for anyone who donates $5 or more to the GoFundMe campaign.

SDOAR 2023 GoFundMe -->> https://gofund.me/4e2e1c96 <<-- SDOAR 2023 GoFundMe

And -- only $66 away from another new page, the halfway mark to our monthly goal, which will in turn unlock SDOAR 2023 Vol. 0 and Vol. 1 ashcans. How cool is that?

But wait there's more. 

Dave have authorized me to begin sharing SDOAR 2023 Production Art on AMOSDOAR - production art that can be exclusively "won" by GoFundMe donors in three ways.
  • GoFundMe donor randomly selected on a monthly basis
  • Anyone whose donation unlocks a page (i.e., every $200)
  • Very, very generous donations
And now the first five pieces of SDOAR 2023 Production Art from late November 2022:

SDOAR 2023 Production Art #1

SDOAR 2023 Production Art #2

SDOAR 2023 Production Art #3

SDOAR 2023 Production Art #4

SDOAR 2023 Production Art #5

So what are you waiting for? Donate to GoFundMe today!

Before I wrap up, one more thing. And this last bit if very important. So many people have contributed in order to make Strange Death of Alex Raymond a reality over an extended period of time in all of this book's incarnations, throughout all the fits and starts. If anyone thinks or <ahem> feels they have been treated unfairly, deserve more for their contributions and support in the past, or that new goodies such as production art should have been available when they contributed, please contact me at jen@typingmonkeys.com. I can't promise anything, but I will do everything that I can to make it right.

There MAY be new AMOC presents "Cerebus & Hobbs" and "Dave's Notebook pages" logos if Hobbs and Mags want them.

(And if Mags can come up with a cool title...)
