Proposition (Dave's weekly update #504)

Hi, Everybody!

Dave's Weekly Update:

And since people are upset by the lack of Cerebus related content in the Weekly Updates:
New Contest: Fill out the word search, send a copy of your completed entry to momentofcerebus@gmail.com by October first, and you'll be entered into a drawing for a Little Orphan Aardvark prize back! (What's in the prize back? I dunno. I haven't figured that out yet, but it's GURANTEED to have at least one piece of paper with Daddy Varkbucks signature on it (it'll say "Dave Sim", not "Daddy Varkbucks", but you get the idea...) (The piece of paper could be anything. A vintage Cerebus comic, a promotional postcard, original art, anything! Ya know...that Dave has sent me and is in the AMOC Prize drawer...). Plus a L.O.A.S.S. entry kit for those not in the wordsearch. Maybe FIVE American dollars... The possibilities are nearly endless (the actualities are not.). )

RULES (Read these carefully, ya don't want to be a Seiler and end up disqualified...):
  1. Fill out the wordsearch.
  2. Send it to momentofcerebus@gmail.com
  3. 1 (one) point each for each name on the list found
  4. 5 (five) points for any word NOT on the list found. (MINIMUM THREE LETTERS! "BE" won't get you shit. Ya gotta put in a little effort. ALSO: Real verifiable words only. (Although ya may get extra points if you find "Kwyjibo"...) 
  5. Bonus 50 (fifty) points if you can identify WHO these people actually are (10 (ten) points for a partial list since you guys probably will never guess who Empennage and Sundrop are, I don't even think THEY know...)
  6. Get your entry in by October (10) 1st (first)
  7. After that I'ma take the entries, calculate the points, and highest point total wins the Big Prize, everybody else gets entered into a drawing for a 2nd (second) place prize. Depending on turnout, EVERYBODY might get a prize. Or, if this one actually takes off and more than Zipper and Dodger enter, there might only be 3 (three) prizes.
  8. My decisions are final.
Good luck! And Remember" Aardvark is counting on YOU!

Nobody wanted this:

So I guess I gotta tell Dave to send it to Heritage

New one is this:

4 days. Opening bid $10 CAD. Bid increments $10 CAD. Auction begins...well, a 6 is a 9 standing on it's head. So, 9, 15 (HEY! That's today!) so ends on the 19th (that's Tuesday.) at 4PM Central AMOC Time.

I have been re-christened. This calls for celebration, and maybe a present to the Manly one!

Thank Aardvark,

I showed her pictures of your 'stache, and she said you were to sexy to be "Branson".
