Please Hold For the last of the Please Hold For Dave Sim 5/2025 videos...

Hi, Everybody!


And now the third:
Part 13: Why was Dave excluded from Eclipse's 1992 Famous Comic Book Creator cards,
Part 14: We remember Spogz...which leads to a discussion of Creator's rights and collaboration,
Part 15: The origins of Dirty Fleagle McGrew and his brother Dirty Drew,
Part 16: At the request of Joe Gabbard, Dave and I discuss lettering,
Part 17: Will Gray had a question about specific page from Women,
Part 18: Dave answers question Taylor S. sent him,
Rigamarole:
THINGS ARE TOUGH ALL OVER: It seems like EVERYBODY has a crowd funding campaign type thing going on:
Friend to the Blog, Steve Peters has launched his latest campaign: Comicverse #6. He's got all sorts of neat stuff on offer, some of it from previous campaigns, meaning "there's Dave Art in them there add-ons!" I dunno, click around and see what he's offering. The campaign has met it's goal, but he followed KickStarter's advice and lowballed that. So more money would mean he doesn't lose money on the deal.

I'm selling bootleg Cerebus trading cards featuring my art, coloring by Hobbs, and unused art of MY characters by Dave. $10 a set for 11 cards plus TWO HANDDRAWN cards (by me). Email momentofcerebus@gmail.com and I'll explain how to pay.


The Help Out Bill Messner-Loebs Go Fund Me, or buy Rodney Schroeter's book with proceeds going to Bill. More on this as I'm allowed to post stuff...

Our very own Jen DiGiacomo is part of a film production titled The Day Elvis Died. She'll never ask anybody here, but they're crowdfunding to finish the post production on the movie. (It's set in 1977, will a certain obscure Canadian cartoon aardvark make a cameo? (No. Elvis died in August. Cerebus wasn't published until December. Any appearance in the flick would be an anachronism that would ruin the movie for everybody. EVERYBODY!).) 

The current thinking is that CAN12/The Varkdalorian will launch in June. Dave has ideas, more on this as I figure out what the hell Sim is planning...

"The Day Elvis Died"? Oddly enough, that came up in a conversation with coworkers just three weeks ago (or so). (Personal anecdote incoming; stop reading now! You've been warned.)
My Mom, little brother, and I were on the tail end of a car trip around Lake Michigan (now called Lake Illinois, according to the Land of Lincoln's current governor) when news of the King's demise came over the AM radio. To my brother and me, he was the archetypal caricature of Vegas; we didn't have any clue about him other than the fat, sweaty guy in overly-sequinned suits, being swooned over by equally large, middle aged women. Mom said, "Oh boys, if only you could know how much he meant to me when I was a girl."
Happy Mother's Day, ma! Hope you're singing a duet with the King. And BREAK A LEG to Miz DiGiacomo!!

In Mass in Glasgow you'll frequently find St Kentigern included in the litany of the saints, as well as lthings (e.g. the religious museum) named after St Mungo. The names are interchangeable.

I think video 16 needs to be reloaded, Matt. It plays on your YouTube page, but not here.
