CAN 12 RICK'S STORY THE VARKDALORIAN (Dave's Weekly Update)

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:
So, lots of moving parts that Dave has little to no control over on this one. Campaign is tentatively scheduled to launch Wednesday. More as I learn what's happening.

And six years is inaccurate. Baby Yoda Cerebus was unleashed to the CiH? team on January 20th 2020. Interestingly, Birdsong's wife came up with the initial concept. And I came up with the title:
Of course, it's "The VARKdalorian" which is Cerebus with his arms raised in Doc Brown's nuclear hazmat suit. "YOU SAID VARK DELORIAN! CEREBUS THOUGHT THAT MEANT WE WERE DOING A BACK TO THE FUTURE PARODY! HOW WAS CEREBUS SUPPOSED TO KNOW IT WAS MORE OF THAT STAR WARS CRAP?!?"
Okay, gotta finish this so I can go back to Please Hold videoing...

A Moment of Cerebus runs Saturday through Friday.

The Week in AMOC:
  • Saturday: Off-White House Bulletin! 5/31! (I's know what I'ma be doing on Saturdays for the conceivable future...)
  • Sunday: The end of Cerebus #9. With a sword fight.
  • MondayThe Monday Report, and the Proto-Strange Death of Alex Raymond #11.
  • Tuesday: Jen's tells us all 'bout The Strange Death of Alex Raymond GoFundMe, and shows off some of her research materials. $155 until page 115 of Dave's POST-Carson SDOAR mock-up pages unlocks. AND GoFundMe has a MONTHLY option now, so you can schedule a reoccurring donation. 
  • Wednesday: Hobbs posts in process work on Dave's Varkdalorian cover (that I'm pretty sure I posted already, but he's got a toddler, so nobody point that out...)
  • Thursday: Margaret has posted ALL of Albatross One. (If you click that link, you can see all the pages of the notebook, OR, you can get a PHYSICAL copy here.) And all of The Last Notebook. Now she's gonna burn through all of Notebook #21. So sit back and get ready for pages and pages and pages of walls of handwritten text...
  • 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:
Friend to the Blog, Steve Peters latest Kickstarter funded the other day. Yay Steve!

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!).)

Listening to the podcast … just heard the part where Dave was explaining about not having a problem using the internet in public places versus having internet at home. OMG. Tell him he’s got it backwards!! Public internet places are the WORST and MOST AT RISK locations for hackers and viruses and so forth. Maybe Dave should look into Satellite phones if they are still around…
