A Moment of Strange Death of Alex Raymond: Day 35 (Month #2 Begins)

"A must-read for anyone interested in the history and craft of comics." - Brandon Graham, King City, Multiple Warheads, Prophet, Rain Like Hammers

Jen DiGiacomo, still Interim Head of SDOAR Division, Aardvark-Vanaheim, here with yet another weekly update on the SDOAR 2023 GoFundMe campaign! 

• $2600 raised in 35 days from 46 donations
• 17 new pages released as mocked up by Dave Sim from June 11 to July 21, 2021
• 38 total pages available on Dropbox when including Dave's 2019 mocked-up pages
• $200 away from unlocking page 39
• $1400 away from unlocking SDOAR 2023 Ashcan Vol. 0 & Ashcan Vol. 1.

>> Now Here Are the Important Parts!!! <<

1. For a $5 donation you get access to all 38 pages on Dropbox -- and every single page that gets unlocked moving forward. You can't beat that with a stick!
2. GoFundMe does not have an option for monthly subscriptions like Patreon and other platforms. (Don't get me started! You won't like me when I'm angry! Jen smash! Oops. Sorry about that Manly. I promise I'll clean up after I'm done writing this update.) In other words, if you plan to donate on a monthly basis, please do so as this is officially month #2 -- consider this your friendly neighborhood reminder and click the link below!

Just the Fax, Ma'am

I do try to keep my faxes to Dave down to once a week as to not get in the way of Dave doing his SDOAR 2023+ thing, but I did receive an update on art coming James Windsor-Smith's way. for his kind donation. NOT SDOAR 2023 art, but -- a variant cover Papa Balloon and Cactus! How cool is that?!? Still a work in progress, but you get the idea!

Jen's Fundraising Escapades

I sold one of the pledge items last week (huzzah!), so one new item (Cerebus button set) added to the list of pledge items. As before, if you are interested in any of the items, simply donate the recommended price below to the GFM campaign, and I'll ship it out to you for free (unless you live overseas, then we'll see what the actual shipping costs are). Note that $200 or more donations automatically get you SDOAR 2023 production art (unless you're James Windsor-Smith).

• $200 >> Dave Sim's Cerebus the Aardvark Button Set (Limited Edition: #23 of 99): Includes 7 buttons (sadly missing three) which show varying levels of rust -- and the button set card. Price also includes SDOAR 2023 production art from Dave!
• $200 >> Hermitage Awesomes Silicon Session, Prototype V 4.0 signed by Dave Sim #3/11, also inscribed to me on page 3 by Carson Grubaugh. What, pray tell, is Hermitage Awesomes? It's a parody of the Heritage Auction preview books by Dave Sim and Carson Grubaugh and includes an 8-page Strange Death of Alex Raymond Prequel, plus high-res images of original art by Dave and Carson up for auction from Glamourpuss, You Don't Know Jack, Cerebus, and Dave Sim commentaries on the IDW Rip Kirby reprints. Price includes SDOAR 2023 production art from Dave!
• $100 >> Cerebus the Newsletter #11: Very clean copy.
• $50 >> Cerebus Number Zero Gold Edition: Also very clean copy.
