The AV Family Photo Album: 1984; Petuniacon!

Hi, Everybody!

Over on the Cerebus Facebook Group, Margaret shared scans of the PetuniaCon program booklet from 1984 and asked:
If you were able to go to PetuniaCon and have some stories, please share with the group. We'd love to hear them. . .Well, I'd love to hear them.
Which was her way of trying to trick me into going through the A-V Family Photo Album.

Since I gotta post anyway, here's the bits I found in the first ten minutes of looking (I need an intern to go through and sort and format the four hundred or so scans Dave sent me...):






And then I had to get out of there (there's this really big spider down there...)

There ya go Mags, no, no need to thank me. Just be a lamb and kill that spider for me...

My Kickstarter was unsuccessful. Thank you for adding it to the blog in the last several days.
I appreciate it.
I decided to just put the comic for sale on Lulu.

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!).) Here's the first trailer.

Thanks boss man.

Also, don't kill the spiders, they're only helping by eating bugs. I'll put 'em in the dark corner so you don't see them. They won't bother you.

I remember that last photo from an issue of Cerebus; back cover or inside back cover, as I recall.
The caption said Bill M-L was "doing his impression of a Berni Wrightson drawing." :-D

I just passed that image in my research! It's in the Aardvark Comment for issue 64, aka the one before Gerhard joined.
