Hi, Everybody!
Jen's living the High Life in Edinburgh.

| Jen's doing her One Woman show Woman in the Arena, pretty much all month. If you go, "swordfish". And send pics... |
Before we get to me filling in for her, I got a message from Rolly:
Hi Matt,
Please post on the website. As Larry Shell needs our help again, he is really struggling to make ends meet these days.
Please post as soon as possible. Thanks.
The email is below:
Dear Dave & All Cerebus fans,
I hope you are both doing well and I am sorry to bother you, but I urgently need to raise $450 to pay my Homeowner’s insurance premium to renew my policy on July 30th or it will be cancelled and given the present condition of my house, I would be unable to get any other insurance company to cover me.
I am also still having problems raising funds for my property taxes as well.
I can NOT afford much these days. I do not have any of the funds to pay for it and I am very stressed about this situation.
If you can help me with any amount, $25 - $50 - $100 - and so on, please send it to me asap, so I can get it into my bank account sooner than later to make the payment that is due.
You can send it via Zelle, Venmo or PayPal to lawrenceshell@comcast.net and let me know you’ve sent me an email.
You can also use the Go Fund Me page that is still active and taking donations at https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-larry-save-his-home-repair-it .
Any amount would be appreciated and I would be extremely grateful. I am to put it bluntly, desperate at this point.
Please share this with your friends and on any social media you belong to.
Thank you in advance,
Larry Shell
Thanks for your help Matt,
Rolly

As Jen has copy/pasted from her last post:
3) The next raffle is for a full-page Silverspoon strip from The Buyer's Guide for Comic Fandom #321, January 11, 1980. These are really hard to come by so, I hope everyone considers joining the raffle. Speaking of which ...
4) Last time I posted, I discussed raffle tickets were going to go for $5 a pop and no one complained, so let it be written, so let it be done. I also mentioned that all donations since the last raffle will be included, meaning we have 97 raffle tickets sold so far. If we break 150 tickets, I'll toss another Silverspoon page into the bucket.
And Jen always says:
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:
This,
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,
Then in June 2021, Dave picked up the story again and it continues here, here, here, here, and here.
If you enjoy the journey, you can join us for all the new pages on Dropbox by donating $5 or more.

Well, I mean that COULD be a "Moment"...
Let's see what else I got...
Cerebus in Hell? has an Instagram:
https://www.instagram.com/cerebusinhell/
Cerebus In Hell? has arrived on Instagram. Weekly strips will begin in August. Expect the Dave Sim technology effect to shut down Instagram very soon, but in the meantime we hope to make you grin a little with a weekly strip to keep Cerebus In Hell? in front of your face while we strive to put out physical issues as the economy allows. Yee Haw, folks, if we can't sell this shit we'll just give it away online.
Aardvark Vanaheim, annoying you with comics since 1977
More on this on the other days I don't have to post...
What else is there?
Sean Robinson (remember when Sean was teaching us how to remaster Cerebus?) sent in:
In a letter to Joe Matt (!!), Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo calls Cerebus the Fugazi of Comics and refers to his current Pinkerton writing as the Peepshow of music!
And for 1998 or whatever, he ain't wrong!
His handwriting looks like someone who has labored over a few hundred pages of journeyman indie comics...
I dunno, looks like Joe Matt lettering to me...
Sean explained to the Braintrust who were discussing this:
Fugazis Ian McKay famously ran his own label and even distributed his own label. Was a huge advocate of DIY for both ethical and financial reasons. I would imagine that's the aspect he's referring to although I could see some hidden aesthetic comparisons as well.
At the time of him writing this letter there was a current Weezer album named Pinkerton which is in my opinion they're very best work. Includes a song that has the chorus quote "I'm so tired of having sex so tired.". Super confessional album compared to their other stuff, I'm sure that's the point of comparison here.

Okay, it's my day off, and these tacos ain't gonna make themselves. Be nice to each other. PLEASE help out Larry Shell if you can. And because she'll go "full Kurgan" if I don't say it again:
