SDoAR 3.20: Another Pages Unlocked, Another Delay

Yet more to get through today!

1) One more page unlocked, this time by John Mosher, 114 pages in all!

2) Dave continues to be unreachable by fax or phone, and now is intimating he prefers it this way. I'll be reaching out to Rolly to see if he can can print out emails for me or if I need to go through Studiocomix Press.

3) That said, the raffle is over and raised $935 and 34 tickets sold. Who won? Well, I'll be reaching out to winner this week (see above) and announce next week. Cool? Cool.  

4) Manly shared an image from The Strange Death of Alex Raymond that will be a chase card prize for CAN 12. I blurred the image so the Facebook preview wouldn't be too shocking.

5) See what I mean?

6) More fun stuff next week, in the meantime, let's see what the raffle winner will win ...

Raffle VII Goodies ...

A) Hermitage Awesomes Silicon Session, a parody book by Dave Sim and Carson Grubaugh 

B) A set of four Cerebus bookplates, signed by Dave Sim

C) David Birdsong donated Carson Grubaugh's painting from an early version of The Strange Death of Alex Raymond. Note that the frame was damaged and there was no glass in it so he removed the art. The marks made by the frame can be seen below. 16 x 20 inches, acrylic on board.

The Strange Death of Alex Raymond New Mockups Preview 

If you haven't read The Strange Death of Alex Raymond before, we have an eight-page trailer that Dave did back in 2018: Part One | Part Two

Then the Dave Sim portion of the hardcover, presented four pages at a time:

And this.

If you want to see how Carson Grubaugh finished the hardcover, well, you're going to need to purchase a copy of your own. HOWEVER, if you want to see how Dave Sim continued the story in the blue pages -- bring me the blue pages -- mockups that appeared in blue ink in final section of the hardcover can be found here...

This, 
This, and this.

Then in June 2021, Dave picked up the story again and it continues herehereherehere, and here.

If you enjoy the journey, you can join us for all the new pages on Dropbox by donating $5 or more.
