"He was charm itself, a southern gentleman." (Dave's weekly update #623)

Hi, Everybody!

Like it says on the Logo:

A Moment of Cerebus runs Saturday through Friday. 

The past Week in AMOC:
  • Saturday: Cleaning out the Faux pile...
  • Sunday: Between doing Christmas with the In-Laws, and my cat dying, I didn't post...
  • Monday: The Monday Report, and the Please Hold For Dave Sim 1/2023 transcript.
  • Tuesday: It's the Holidays. Jen didn't post to help raise funds on The Strange Death of Alex Raymond GoFundMe$135 until page 126 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: Hobbs has a post he made in February.
  • Wednesday: The NEW Cerebus in Hell? issue: Cerebus in Jail, continues with the Weekly Strip. Follow along on Instagram
  • Thursday: Margaret shares the list of ALL Notebook posts she's ever made. All organized like you'd want.
  • 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 last week on AMOC. You're welcome.

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
