I'm pretty sure that Dave's wrong, but to make sure, I went through Rick's Story looking for Cerebus feet:
This is the first appearance, page 110 of Rick's Story, but it don't look too good.

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.)
Five bucks in the US, $6 in Canada, and $10 outside them two. The link has all the details.

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.
