The whole Megillah (Dave's weekly update #633)

Hi, Everybody!

Like it says on the Logo:
That little bit on the bottom there...

It's Friday, so that means:
Dave's Weekly Update:

"What about them Minds pages of Original Art Dave wants auctioned?!?"

Well Imaginary-AMOC-Reader-who-what-lives-rent-free-in-my-head, they aren't up yet because there's a...complication
(That one's for you Seiler (RIP)...)

Basically, I-A-R-W-W-L-L-R-F-I-M-H, it's like this:

I MIGHT have a work-around to bypass the complications, but I gotta get other people on board with the work-around, including Dave, and that means explaining to all parties how it'd work. And if you haven't been payin' attention, doing AMOC damn near daily for all these years has rotted my brain just enough that I done don't talk to good no more, so we'll see what happens...*fingers crossed*

GOOD NEWS is that THIS is happening which means:

That's right, CAN13: Going Home is "on deck" for when the Spanish Cerebus #1/Spawn #10 Kickstarter campaign is finished. CAN13 will be paired with Cerebus in Jail? (unless I missed something, and doing this all these years has rotted the ol' brainmeats enough that I done don't read two good no more either...so I might be inadvertently talkin' out my ass again too... (Ain't I just the best newsman on the Internet?).)

Hey! And speaking of the Kickstarters, our buddy and Cerebus Remaster-er Master, Sean Robinson shared with moi (that's French for "me". (See, this shit IS educational!)):
March Movement and More Manageable Momentum!

Friends,

After a more quiet period, a lot is happening at once.

HIDE AND SEEK (Naono Yoshiko, Smudge Vol. 7) and THE RABAGOO RACE (Garresh) are both at the printer and shipping to us next week — preorders will go out the week after. If you've been waiting: almost there.

FACE MEAT and HER FRANKENSTEIN are being reprinted simultaneously and will also ship from the printer this week. Both back in stock.

The COMPLETE CHARLES DANA GIBSON V1 is ALMOST at CRWN! Orders will open (no preorders this time!) as soon as CRWN has the book in their inventory system and ready to go. It's a beaut!

And then there's this...
CONSIGNED
Earlier this year, a major comics distributor decided to solve their bankruptcy problems by stealing a bunch of our books. We put the fight in paper form.

CONSIGNED is a huge full-color art anthology featuring nearly the entire Living the Line family — and it launches on Kickstarter next week.

Who's in it? #checks notes#. Virtually everyone we've ever published. Which is a feat I'm quite proud of in and of itself!

This is a Kickstarter exclusive. It will not be available through any other distributor. (You will understand why.)

Get the jump on our Kickstarter at our pre-launch page!

More details next week. We're glad you're here.
Sean
Living the Line
I don't know if Dave will be in it, but I bet Carson will be (see above re: "me talkin' out ma ass...".)

Okay, back to "bizness as usual"...

A Moment of Cerebus runs Saturday through Friday. 

The past Week in AMOC:
  • Saturday: Please Hold For Dave Sim 3/2026. Part of the never-ending-what-the-hell-did-I-agree-to-ness of all this is that pretty much as soon as I finish all the @#&*ING work to get one of these Please Holds done it's time to start over for the next month's. So, if you gotta question, or comment, or whatever, you should probably send it to momentofcerebus@gmail.com by...I dunno Monday(?), yeah, Monday. So I can wrangle everything into a (please Jebus, pretty pretty please, oh Lord save me, not another FORTY page) Faux and send it to Studio Comix Press to print for Rolly to give to Dave, so Dave can record (please Jebus, pretty pretty pretty please, oh Lord save me, not another SEVENTEEN) audio files that he'll give to Rolly to email to me so I can spend (please Jebus, pretty pretty pretty PRETTY PLEASE, oh Lord SAVE me, not another FIVE DAYS!!!)...time...whipping everything into something that is (please Jebus, pretty pretty pretty please oh please oh please, oh Lord save me...) coherent "content"
and get everything on YouTube and FUCKSpotify. Oh, and I have to draw a strip (because the ol' rotted brainmeats have decreed that I need to make a strip every month or else...I don't even know any-damn-more...something "bad", I guess...) So, yeah...momentofcerebus@gmail.com by Monday, or else you go up in May (ya know Dave's Birthday is in May, right? You're really gonna make a SEVENTY-Year Old try to remember trivia from fifty years ago? That's SADISTIC!)
  • Sunday: It came from Dave...
  • Monday: The Monday Report is on Hiatus for Ramadan, so so is the transcripts to Please Hold For Dave Sim.
  • Tuesday: Since Jen is in rehearsals, I'm back posting on Tuesdays. Still posting to help raise funds on The Strange Death of Alex Raymond GoFundMe, $70 until page 127 of Dave's POST-Carson SDOAR mock-up pages unlocks. Anyway, I'ma post ALL of glamourpuss over the next how many weeks. AND GoFundMe has a MONTHLY option now, so you can schedule a reoccurring donation. 
  • Wednesday: The NEW Cerebus in Hell? issue: Cerebus in Jail, ends. MORE Weekly Strips continue next week. Follow along on Instagram. And https://www.ebay.com/itm/236664955396 (Somebody was looking for the Vardalorian...)
  • 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,  more from Reads that isn't in Reads!
  • 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. I do this out of stubborn pigheadedness/pride/ because I'm not too bright for free, but if you got a couple of bucks (I don't know how that's possible, given the links to neat stuff in this post, but Hey! I've been wrong before and will probably be so again (real soon)...), and wanna leave Dave a "tip", there's these "donate to the Dave Sim Fund" buttons somewhere on CerebusDownloads.com (I didn't lay out that place, and I didn't have nothin' to do with the latest redesign, so don't come at me if you have troubles over there...), and you can give Dave all the money you care too. (There's also links there that will help you buy all the stuff...) Did I mention Dave turns seventy in May?

  • Nothing.
  • But coming around the 20th of NEXT month, the Original Art to the Envy and Anger plates from the Six Deadly Sins (the cover and two of the plates went for around 10K apiece when they were auctioned, so I hope you've been saving your pennies...)

  • And slightly sooner: two slabbed copies of Cerebus #1 (even though one of the auctions has a Superboy cover instead of Cerebus (I assume that's an error on Heritage's part...)), and a slabbed Fantasy Quarterly #1.

Thanks to Steve for sending the link.
