Our next set of Giant-Size SDOAR Ashcan proofs have been printed and are currently en route to us as I write this. Where are they right now? Toronto-A Canada. Damn Canadians with their A and B cities.
Now for raffle news!
$460 raised on 18 raffle tickets, meaning we've unlocked another page (our 100th page so far).
Reminder that the rules for entry were that our equivalent of raffle tickets were priced at $25 each via lump sum donated to the Strange Death of Alex Raymond 2024 GoFundMe campaign through Monday, September 23, 2024 at midnight, PST.
Further reminder that the prize this time around was...
- Cerebus the Aardvark button set #23 of 99 (7 of 10 buttons)
- Diamondback deck (swindle your friends!)
- Petunia Con 1984 program (do y'all know how cool this is?)
- (2) Cerebus bookplates signed by Dave Sim (signed!)
- Cerebus #11 through #15 in pretty good damn shape (Five issues!)
Dave, take it away!
Huzzah! Let me check my raffle tickets and... hmmm... cross indexing... and congrats to Ian Rowan!
Now, I'm not sure what I'm doing for the next raffle, but it may be a few weeks before I can get to it. That said, any $25 donations from now onwards will automatically get you a *double entry* in the next raffle.

I can't be the only one who's completely lost track of what's going on with SDOAR. The various posts here assume too much background knowledge to be anything but baffling for those of us outside the core group of obsessive AMOC followers.
Could someone please provide a "beginners start here" explanation of:
1) What does "unlocking" a page mean?
2) Are the pages periodically posted on AMOC from the existing hardback volume which has already been published or pages from a planned volume two?
3) If the latter, whose work is it that appears on these pages?What is Dave's involvement in drawing or designing them? Is Carson still involved? If so, how?
4) What material do the SDOAR ashcans contain?
5) Assuming I'm right about Dave wanting to eventually get a second volume of SDOAR published in physical form, what is the idea of this volume? Will it be an updated/expanded version of the existing book, or a brand new volume which continues the discussion from where the existing hardback left off?
I could go on, but those five questions will do to be doing on with. I think a post which (crucially) assumes no prior knowledge, but sets out a clear account of how each initiative on SDOAR works, what it hopes to achieve and what Dave sees as the ultimate end point of all this effort would be very useful. It might even help to pull in some extra cash.
