And Original Art:
And when I flipped it over...CEREBUS! 
That means this counts as a "Moment".

Got a message from my friends at the Waverly Press. They're doing Holiday Bundles for 2024. There are limited to 50 bundles. Available until December 31 or they sell out. Whichever comes first. Get 'em while they're hot. https://waverlycomics.com
_______________
Since it's Holiday time, Twomorrows publishing is having their annual sale. Comic Book Creator magazine has done interviews with Dave adjacent creators like Steve Bissette, Bob Burden, (I haven't read it, so I can neither confirm or deny if Dave is mentioned) Rick Veitch, among others. And Cerebus is covered in Back Issue #75, and the X-Men crossover is talked about in #118. And Margaret has a photo printed in issue #31. If you search for "Dave Sim", they have a bunch of issues. Anyway, just letting people know. Sale ends December 9th.

Heritage has nothing major, but if I drop the link, I'll have to spend hours searching for it when they DO have neat stuff of interest. So, move along.

Hi Matt!
I got a balloon ๐ŸŽˆ too! I was going to use my two lips ๐Ÿ’‹ to inflate the balloon, but Grace said, " You don't know if anyone ever inflated it before." So, I didn't. Now I'm going to clean it and inflate it.

@anonymous don't fret, i didn't put my lips to any balloons๐Ÿ˜€ i have slight facial paralysis and can't actually inflate them ironically! Grace (your wife i presume? Hi grace!) is right though...as i can't speak for what happened before they were shipped to me ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
