Political pugilism (Dave's weekly update #564)

Hi, Everybody!

Like it says on the Logo:
The little bit on the bottom there...

It's Friday, so that means:
Dave's Weekly Update:

Speaking of Politics, I added two new designs to The AMOC TeePublic Shoppe
White on dark

Black on light

The whole store is on sale:
35% off November 8-24, and 40% off November 25-30.*
*Sale dates are not final and therefore subject to change.

A Moment of Cerebus runs Saturday through Friday.

The Week in AMOC:
  • Saturday: A bit for those going through though times.
  • Sunday: New Dave Art, Old Valentino Art.
  • MondayThe Monday Report, and faxes, and a bit more Melmoth.
  • "Tuesday": Jen lets us know where we are with the Strange Death of Alex Raymond GoFundMe. $158 until page 103 unlocks. More Cerebus "rarities" being raffled. ONE Week left to get in on that...
  • Wednesday: Hobbs shares...things I sent him, including (since he asked for clarification) the Bootleg Cerebus trading cards I printed myself. (I might not even have a set anymore...I was using one as a bookmark and I own a wall of books, so who knows where it is...
  • Thursday: Margaret continues looking at pages from the first Notebook AKA Albatross 1, YOU can get your very own BETTER-THAN-MARGARET'S-POSTS-O.-M.-G.-YOU-GUYS-SERIOUSLY copy. See here. And she's *this* close to being almost at the end. Then Dave'll start selling replicas of Albatross #2, and she'll post all the pages from that. Or not...
  • Friday: that's this post. You're reading the Friday post right now. This is STILL like that bit in Spaceballs. (Should I link to LAST WEEK'S Update in these things?)

Okay, so that was the past week in AMOC. You're welcome.

Rigamarole:
Here's a thing:
IT'S NOT TOO LATE! Did you miss out on the LEGENDS OF INDIE COMICS: WORDS ONLY Kickstarter campaign featuring a new CEREBUS tale by Dave Sim? The one that's making history by bringing together some of the most legendary characters and creators of the indie comics era in a book of thrilling prose fiction adventures? Well, SMILE! The LEGENDS OF INDIE COMICS project is STILL accepting late pledges, so there's time for you to leap in, make a difference, and snag some spectacular rewards in the bargain!

Friend to the Blog, Steve Peters is BACK with Sparky: Cosmic Delinquent on the Kickstarter:
Ok everyone, I've decided to give Sparky a second chance. This one will be short but sweet: a much lower goal, and just a little over two weeks for funding this time because I don't want to go through another whole month of torture!
If everyone who backed last time backs again, Sparky will easily make it this time. If not, well, perhaps it's time to put the little guy back on hiatus for another 11 years! What do you say?

Click here to rescue Sparky from ignominy! Thanks to everyone who supported last time, and thanks in advance for coming back!
And Dave's 8 page collaboration with Steve will be in the book (even the regular cover version.)

And my team-up with the King:
Which I have offered the original art to Steve for the campaign -- an 8.5"X11" piece of original art featuring Sparky: Cosmic Delinquent, inked by me in 2024 over a scan of Jack Kirby pencils from 1975, as an add-on reward in the current Sparky campaign. It will include "a special message hand written/drawn(?) by me to the winner." Includes a "Red Sparkybus" print, numbered out of 28 copies and signed by Matt and Dave Sim.

Get your copies here.
