The Book of Habakkuk (Dave's weekly update #638)

Hi, Everybody!

Dave has things on Heritage. These are FROM the Cerebus Archive, and Dave (eventually) gets ALL the money (minus the fees and whatnot. Plus he won't believe it until the money crosses his hand... *NOT* my first "Dave waiting to be paid" rodeo...):
Cerebus #239 19 pages of Original Art (I wonder if Gerhard has the last page? I bet he'd sell it to you if you offered him enough money...)

Anyway, like it says on the Logo:
That little bit on the bottom there...

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

___________________________

Living the Line's next Kickstarter has TWENTY-ONE pages of The Strange Death of Alex Raymond in it. These are pages Dave has drawn since the wrist started working again. Is goood...

And I was asked: "Scott Palochik & Dreamscape Publishing has the 4th issue of MARCVS live on Kickstarter now. If you could kindly put it up on the Rigamole, it would be greatly appreciated."

Okay, back to "bizness as usual"...
___________________________
A Moment of Cerebus runs Saturday through Friday. 

The past Week in AMOC:
  • Saturday: Cleaning out the Inbox...
  • Sunday: I was busy working, and working on:
  • Monday: The newest Off-White House Bulletin.
  • Tuesday: Since Jen did the First show, she has two more lined up, I'm back posting on Tuesdays. Still posting to help raise funds on The Strange Death of Alex Raymond GoFundMe$140 until page 130 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. And TWENTY-ONE pages of SDOAR drawn by Dave are in CONSIGNED, Living the Line's next Kickstarter
  • Wednesday: MORE Weekly Cerebus in Hell? Strips. This one is written by Dave. 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,  issue #180!
  • 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.

If we're doing Please Hold next month (see Monday above) Dave is giving Everybody! an option: He'll either work on Please Hold for May, or his notes on the '82 Tour Book. YOU can decide which he does by donating at CerebusDownloads. There are two buttons, if you want Please Hold, donate with the button labeled as such. If you want the '82 Tour Book, donate with the button labeled that. And if you want both, donate to both. (Dave never said what he'd do if there was a tie...) '82 is currently winning, so if you have a question, send it in to momentofcerebus@gmail.com AND throw a couple of bucks Dave's way by clicking the "Please Hold For Dave Sim" button. Or else it's '82 for you...

I apologize if this has already been discussed in the Cerebusverse but I checked my Kickstarter page & the '82 Tour Diary is no longer posted as one of my saved projects.

What happened?

Travis Pelkie said...

The tour diary was covered, Matt can link.

As for 239 only being “19” pages, wouldn’t page 20 have been just text since 240 starts Fall and the River?

Dave thinks projects should be properly finished before being offered as kickstarters. He had some concerns about photo captions, repetition in in the interviews and so on. If Dave skips Please Hold next month the idea is that he'll work on the tour book redraft instead.

Jason T said...

Just checked my Going Home paperback, and 239 is definitely missing a page ("Oh look, the sun's coming up"). It's all Gerhard, so Manly's probably right about that.

Also, I always thought it was understood that selling art from the archive was a not gonna happen/very last resort kind of thing. Now Dave's (almost) flooding the market. Did I miss an announcement, or did this just kind of happen? Not against it, it makes sense, but seems like a new development that hasn't really been discussed much by Dave

I think the idea is that the two pages from Minds on eBay were a trial, to see if Dave can still pull in as much from eBay without having to worry about the middle-man fees you get with auction houses. I don't think he has commented publicly on how much they ended up going for but it looked a decent sum to me.

Ebay charges significant middle-man fees.
