1) Remember that game we used to play as kids called, depending on how old you are and where you grew up, telephone or maybe whisper?
Well, Rolly got back to me and Philip with feedback on the new Giant-Size SDOAR Ashcan covers and, well, neither of us fully understands what Dave's feedback actually means.
I never thought I'd say this, but my kingdom for a fax machine!
Once I have more time, I'm going to dig in on the notes, Philip's interpretation, and probably pour myself a strong gin and tonic in the process.
No word yet on anything else SDOAR related.
2) Let's talk raffles. 284 raffle tickets purchased so far for the five SUPER GIANT-SIZE Silverspoon Cerebus pages from The Buyer's Guide for Comic Fandom, circa 1980. Reminder that there will be FIVE winners selected, the first winner gets their choice of page, followed by the second winner, and so forth. Raffle ends November 18, 2025. That's only seven days from now!
3) A friendly neighborhood reminder that Manly and I chatted by phone the other day and he mentioned that perhaps not everyone is aware of just how big these Silverspoon pages are from The Buyer's Guide for Comic Fandom. So for comparison, I have the fifth and final page on the barbie, the full-page Silverspoon strip from The Buyer's Guide for Comic Fandom #331, March 21, 1980, a.k.a. page seven and the Cerebus Bi-Weekly comic book size reprint side-by-side. Zounds!
4) Also included in the raffle is the full-page Silverspoon strip from The Buyer's Guide for Comic Fandom #321, January 11, 1980, a.k.a. page three, and ...
The full-page Silverspoon strip from The Buyer's Guide for Comic Fandom #329, February 22, 1980, a.k.a. page six.
