The Strange Death of Alex Raymond Proto Version #11 (AKA the photorealist bits from glamourpuss #24)

Hi, Everybody!

Mondays!

Anyway...

Tomorrow, as she does MOST weeks, Jen DiGiacomo is gonna solicit everybody into giving a li'l something-something to The Strange Death of Alex Raymond GoFundMe she set up to get Dave money to keep working on pages (Dave's drawing pages in the 650s...). And as a part of that, she posted all of the pages from the Living The Line version of The Strange Death of Alex Raymond (up to page 205), and now she's posting Dave's mocked-up pages.

Fun fact: GoFundMe has changed their setup so you can contribute on a monthly basis (like the Patreon...).

So, to "tee her up", I'ma run the Proto-Strange Death of Alex Raymond that Dave ran in glamourpuss.

Because I can...
First this, then:












Rigamarole:

Friend to the Blog, Steve Peters has six days until the end of 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!" He's got a few stretch goals:
STRETCH GOAL #1: $2000

- Digital rewards will receive 3 more PDFs of Awakening comics
- Physical rewards under $50 will get a full set of 9 2025 trading cards
- Physical rewards $50 and up get a small piece of original art
- Bonus pay for the guest artists on our next issue
- Some rapidograph pens for me! Papa needs some new pens!

STRETCH GOAL #2: $2600
- I will post not just the goofy embarrassing photo, but also two super silly photos of me and Billy Sherwood as the punk band "Maybe"
- Digital rewards backers get 6 more PDFs from the Awakening catalog
- Physical rewards under $50 will get the full set of Comicverse Swag (including the trading cards) and a small sketch
- Physical rewards $50 and up get set Comicverse Swag and a larger piece of original art

- I will record a custom song for any pledges that total $200 or more

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.

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!).)
