Aw Geez...8: The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini

Hi, Everybody!

It is time once again for the Aw Geez. The anniversary of when I first started this gig (technically, yesterday...).

For the Record:
The beginning of the End
Aw Geez
Aw Geez 2: Electric Bugaloo
Aw Geez 3: The Search for Spock
Aw Geez 4: A New Hope
Aw Geez 5: The Dial of Destiny
Aw Geez 6: Apocalypse
Aw Geez 7: Diamonds are Forever
So, "Yay me!"

How am I celebrating? The big ol' round-up of "2019 Re-Read" posts in order that I can add as a rigamarole to these posts going forward...

Are you gonna add a page to these posts like you did last year?

I don't know Imaginary-AMOC-reader-who-lives-rent-free-in-my-head, I don't know...

But I don't just post Cerebus pages "sotto voce", I used to offer commentary too:
Like...this. This. This. This. This. This. This. This. This. This. And this.

Will THAT continue in Year nine? 

I don't #$&*ing know man...

Thanks to Everybody for these past eight years. Tim for founding the place, Margaret for the Notebook posts, Oliver for contributing as long as he did, Sean, Hobbs, Birdsong, Jen, Brian for filling in when needed, Gerhard for always answering my stupid emails, Rolly for emailing whatever Dave wants me to have, Dave for making this whole thing necessary. 

And you. For coming by again, and again.

Like the logo? I stole it...









And, coming in February, The 1982 Tour Book (click the link to be notified on launch).
______________
The Help Out Bill Messner-Loebs Go Fund Me, or buy Rodney Schroeter's book with proceeds going to Bill. OR(!) you could buy Bill's book with the Dave backcover. I have discovered links:
Wanderland (Paperback but slightly more expensive...I dunno why...)
The site offers UK shipping, so PRESUMEABLY it's printed and shipped there(?).
And Journey Complete:
And if you wanna see how the book looks in Real Time...

Over on the Facebookees, Mike Jones shared that Dave has a five SEVEN page Strange Death of Alex Raymond story in YEET Presents #68. Ya gotta back them on Patreon to get it.  The deal is:
Get every new issue of "Yeet presents" in your mailbox and never miss the thrills and the fun only this magazine can give you! Remember we need your physical address (you'll be asked after you pledge), this is no digital thing, it's a real, professionally printed magazine! :)
There were ONLY 150 copies printed, but thanks to SDOAR being in there, demand has increased and Mike went back to press for FIFTY additional copies! Get 'em while they're hot! (I'll post low-rez scans when Mike is sold out.) 
Mike updated and said:
By now, Patrons should have in hand (or it's on the way), their copy of YEET Presents #68. Let's give it a week and if you don't have yours, let me know.

This was a very popular issue and probably due to the talent pool and especially the brand new story by Dave Sim. I know many of the new subscriptions were just for that story and the plan is to cancel once you get the book. We ask that you give YEET a chance and hold on to your sub for a few more issues.....you just might see more of Dave's work.

Now for the extra copies and how you can get them. I will charge Patrons actual cost + shipping....so that's $3 per book and $3 shipping (in the states) for one book/add $1 for each additional book. Outside the states, we can figure out the shipping once it's sent. Non-Patrons will be charged $5 per book. PayPal the money to yeetpresents@gmail.com, use "friends & family" or pay the fees and PUT YOUR ADDERSS IN THE NOTES. Remember, there are only 150 copies of the original run and 50 copies of the second print of these books. Will we see them on ebay going for big bucks soon?

Thanks for your support. Let us know how we are doing....we need to fill the letters page. Keep the stories and art coming and.....

KEEP ON YEETin"!

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
