A carefully staged hunter (Dave's weekly update #606)

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:

And I got another one of these things:
This is Dave responding to this letter from Michael R. of Easton, PA:

And turning to the other topic of the letter. With 58 hours to go, I hope this helps:

______________________________
A Moment of Cerebus runs Saturday through Friday.

The Week in AMOC:
  • Saturday: So if I get a month to work on it, you get Please Hold For Dave Sim 9/2025 early.
  • Sunday: A bit of Comics History that was new to me.
  • Monday: The Monday Report, and Please Hold transcript for 8/2021.
  • Tuesday: Jen's back in the States, but wasn't feeling good. So I step in to help raise funds on The Strange Death of Alex Raymond GoFundMe$200 until page 119 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: The NEW Cerebus in Hell? weekly strip continues. Follow along on Instagram
  • 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... This week, Campaign ’93 material!
  • 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.

Friend to the Blog Steve Peters is back with the next Tails of Sparky, #6, the next in the "Seasons of Sparky" series. Why you care (besides that Steve's a pal and does good comics...) is that he has a LIMITED number of 
Tails of Sparkybus #6 Signed Variant
Signed by Dave Sim (Dave Sim 2025) on a tipped-in plate. It will also be signed by Steve Peters and numbered, and features a 6-page collaboration with Sim that will only appear in the variant.
It's limited to TWENTY-FIVE  Steve says there are THIRTY-TWO, but he hasn't released them all yet, copies (So if you want one, maybe don't wait...)

Steve also has copies of Dave's variant covers to the two previous issues, so you can get the set if you missed out. 

He's also got the Sparkybus prints Dave did that I had printed up.

You can't say I didn't warn ya!

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
