The trick to being a Contrarian (Dave's weekly update #585)

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:
A Moment of Cerebus runs Saturday through Friday.

The Week in AMOC:
  • Saturday: Christmas came either a little late, or SUPER earlier...
  • Sunday: Eight part one.
  • Monday: The Monday Report, and I'm posting the glamourpuss SDOAR pages...
  • Tuesday: Jen's posted all the Dave and Carson pages of The Strange Death of Alex Raymond, and has moved on to the mock-ups Dave produced after that. Donate to The Strange Death of Alex Raymond GoFundMe to see Dave's mock-ups for the next 400 pages (eventually). $200 until page 111 of Dave's POST-Carson SDOAR mock-up pages unlocks. AND GoFundMe has a MONTHLY option now, so you can schedule a reoccurring donation. And AND, Birdsong has donated a Carson Grubaugh original SDOAR painting (it was gonna be a cover for an early version.) Jen has all "the deets".
  • Wednesday: Hobbs posts the tentative future of Cerebus in Hell?
  • Thursday: Margaret's IS done with Albatross One. If you click that link, you can see all the pages of the notebook, OR, you can get a PHYSICAL copy here, anyway not knowing where to head next, Margaret has decided to go with the LAST notebook, from page one to the end. Currently: Issue #285.
  • 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.

Only listened to a little bit so far, but the comments about word balloons are interesting. I just wanted to add that I did do my own version of our "Following Cerebus" discussion, published in my book "The Facts of Roses," so Dave does have a copy of that. My argument, which I repeatedly pestered Tundis about, was that it should be a more free-flowing discussion format. Moderators would keep us on-topic, beyond that the only editing needed would be for obvious typos and one person should do the formatting just so we don't each go all-out on our own particular styles and make it harder to read. Something like that would have worked much better for "Following Cerebus."
