The Ladies of Cerebus: AI edition: Part Three: Jaka

 

Benjamin Hobbs:

As promised, Jaka, as generated by AI, as prompted by David Birdsong:




 I look forward to all the constructive criticism in the comments. 

Next Week: I've run out of AI images! We'll have to look at real art...Unless David sends me more AI!

SDoAR 2.27: New Page Unlocked; One in Six Chance to Win Cerebus #2

So far SIX donors are in the running for Cerebus #2, raising $315 in one week and unlocking a new page! If you want a chance at winning the aforementioned sophomore issue of our favorite aardvark adventurer, then a friendly reminder (see what I did there?)...

Rules to win Cerebus #2 and Help Out SDoAR

One entry per person to anyone who donates $25 or more to the Strange Death of Alex Raymond 2024 GoFundMe campaign through Monday, July 15, 2024 at midnight, PST.

I will then randomly assign numbers to each entry and have Dave pull another Karnak, and I'll announce the winner on July 16, 2024. 


In addition anyone who unlocks a page (every $200 raised) gets a thank you gift from Dave! So what are you waiting for?!?

Just the GoFundMe Facts, Ma'am

  • $13,327.00 raised to date from 223 donations
  • 69 new pages released as mocked up by Dave Sim from 11 June to 7 December 2021
  • 90 total pages available on Dropbox, including Dave's 2019 mocked-up pages
  • $73.00 away from unlocking page 90
  • If you have not donated > $5+ donation grants access to all 90 pages and all pages moving forward
  • If you have donated, thank you, but if you want to donate monthly, GoFundMe does not offer that option, so please do so as we are at the beginning of month #7 of Year 2.

Aardvark Comment: What's the deal with Marilyn?

Hi, Everybody!

Monday!

Dave got mail:






(psst. Margaret. You got mail too...)



I think they were looking for a "nice picture" Dave. 

I could be wrong.

Rigamarole:
Cerebus has come to HumbleBundle. $18 REAL American dollars (or more. They'll take all the money you wanna spend...) gets you all 16 volumes AND the Updated Cerebus Guide to Self-Publishing! Eighteen bucks! (Unless you wanna up your pledge to benefit The Global FoodBanking Network (GFN):
The Global FoodBanking Network’s (GFN) mission is to nourish the world’s hungry through uniting and advancing food banks. GFN unites and empowers organizations that support those in need by reducing food waste and cultivating sustainable relationships that save lives.
Or, adjust your pledge levels so Aardvark-Vanaheim gets more. Since you KNOW Dave's probably sending 25% of "the take" to Gerhard. (I think you can do that. I know you can give LESS to Dave and Humble, and more to GFN, not sure about increasing Dave's cut.).)

This deal ends... on July 17th(?)

Friend to the Blog Steve Peters has a NEW Kickstarter: Comicverse: Subspace Chatter Softcover Collection. While it DOESN'T have a new Dave cover (that's the NEXT Kickstarter after this one...) It does have Cerebus related content, and Manly Matt Dow Art. 

The NEXT Kickstarter Steve's gonna do has new Dave art. So, let's help Steve out with this one so he doesn't have his confidence shaken and not do the next one. $30 (including the shipping price) gets you the book. And he's got some original art in there too.

Ten days to go. Come on. COMEON!
