"Dave Sim has brought much joy to me with his creations." - Bob Zupancic, GoFundMe Donor
As he has to the rest of us.
Now onto the latest SDOAR 2023 strip, introducing our third Emo character, found only in the Typing Monkeys Gazette!
Tee-hee!
Jen's Non-Stressful Giant-Sized Ashcan(s) Update
How about a sneak peek of the first Giant-Sized Ashcan proofs?!? Caveat emptor, Dave has final approval, so who knows how much will change between now and final versions!
SDOAR GoFundMe Tote Board
Since the tote board didn't make it into this week's strip (really, what's the point of these strips?!?), let's get an up-to-the-minute SDOAR 2023 GoFundMe campaign update:
- *FOUR* new pages unlocked since last week
- $5,805.00 raised from 101 donations (plus $62.08 outside of GoFundMe).
- 33 new pages released as mocked up by Dave Sim from Jun. 11 to Sept. 4, 2021
- 54 total pages available on Dropbox, including Dave's 2019 mocked-up pages
- Only $195.00 away from unlocking page 55
Just the Facts, Ma'am
- If you have not donated >> $5+ donation grants access to all 54 pages and all pages moving forward!
- If you have donated (thanks!!) >> GoFundMe does not have an option for monthly subscriptions. So... if you want to donate on a monthly basis, please do so as we are nearing the end of month #5.
- GoFundMe is a dreadful communication platform -- if you haven't heard back from me, gotten access to the new pages, etc., please email me at jen@typingmonkeys.com

Just the FAQs, Ma'am
In response to my last post, Manly wrote, "As long time readers of AMOC have figured out, I, Manly Matt Dow, don't really edit what gets posted on my 'off days'. This is due to my long standing policy of not being Jeff Seiler. (First established in 2006 or 2007. (whenever he crashed on my couch for a week...)) BUT, given the EGREGIOUS error in the second sentence of Jen's 'apology', I've broken with TRADITION and gone through her post and highlighted the mistakes in red. Like Seiler...
"So, first, THANKS JEN! and THANKS DAVE! for the FIRST 'on model' Beer Dave has ever drawn. ('Mistakes Were Made.' Dave Sim's motto since 2006 or 2007. (whenever he sent the 'Two Rivers Beer' drawing (I think that was the first time he F-ed up Beer...)) And, second, S**** YOU Jen for making me feel dirty by impersonating a dead Cerebite. I need a shower. AND, and. And, third, the third number is higher than Dave's age when he started Cerebus, but lower than his age when he finished Cerebus. (New Yorkers have bed frames. I seen it on TV. YOU might not have one, but that's only because you're 'some Yenta-with-more-money-than-brains' who spends all her hard earned moola on kid-in-the-bunny-suit merch instead of at Bed, Bath, & Beyond like a normal person (hence why they're going out of business...). And I NEVER said the footlocker was under YOUR bed, I said 'but also the location of the bed it's hidden under... '. And like a Pace Picante Salsa ad, it too is incredulous at the thought of being in 'New. York. City!' I turn interested parties to the Circle K plastic bag in the ol' AMOC prize box which contains:
- A street level map of Pawtucket Rhode Island
- copies of Adam West's entry in the Yellow Pages
- Three dimes from the 1970s
- A used copy of 'Free Cerebus'
- A dozen fortunes from fortune cookies
- And a signed Milwaukee Braves baseball from the 1950s
The clues to where the Foot Locker is stashed are there, but can it be found? The Shadow Knows!!!"
Jen responds with, "After quietly correcting all the typos and removing all the red highlights aside from my use of 'Dave Slim', I added a comment stating, 'I think you need to work on your Seiler impersonation. The only "error" I see is my use of "Dave Slim" which is a much worn out and intentional Glamourpuss gag I've been using in all of my faxes to Dave the past few years. You're really going to have a field day with the Giant-Sized SDOAR 2023 issues with faux articles that contain errors on purpose, them being a parody of ill-informed reporters and all. On the bright side, I'm not going to feel guilty when Emo Manly makes his first appearance next week.'"
Not realizing what I had done, Bill Ritter chimed in with, "The most egregious error I see is Emo Manly's failure to close his parenthesis... ('(New Yorkers have bed frames. I seen it on TV. YOU might not have one, but that's only because you're 'some Yenta-with-more-money-than-brains' who spends all her hard earned moola on kid-in-the-bunny-suit merch instead of at Bed, Bath, & Beyond like a normal person (hence why they're going out of business...).'). Sloppy work, Emo-M."
I cannot express how much joy that brought me. It's the little things in life, am-I-right?
Just the Fax, Ma'am

If you are interested, you should know the drill by now -- email me at jen@typingmonkeys.com and I'll get you sorted!
