Since Jen "Took Manhattan", glamourpuss 15: Letting down Alex Raymond (who, spoiler warning: has been dead for nigh on seventy years...)

Hi, Everybody!

Hype! Hype! Plugola! Hype!

The CAN13/Ninja High School Cerebus #2&3/Cerebus in Hell? numbers 87 (Cerebus in Jail?) and 88 (The Pun Issuer Groan Zone)/CAN29(sorta) Kickstarter.

Since we talkin' Kickstarters:

Friend to the Blog, Steve Peters has a new Comicverse issue on Kickstarter, with a variant cover from OTHER Friend to the Blog, James Banderas-Smith.

Cerebus the Aardvark #1 (and Spawn #10) en Español cinco day-os to go-gos

And I'm making the attempt to get the Pud's Tavern Logo on the kid's Dance team's merch. 

She came. She saw. She performed like a dancing monkey...

So Jen did Woman in the Arena shows One & Two last week, and therefore has "taken Manhattan" like the human Muppet she is...

Like the guy on the bottom right, but...ya know, more "Jen" shaped...

So I'm back having to "do" Tuesdays until she comes back. IF she comes back... Speaking of which, I received:

Note from the Interim Head of SDOAR Division

"Listen Frog, you tell that walking porkchop that if she thinks she's getting the big dressing room, she's gonna get a starring role at the delicatessen on the next block. Capisce?" 

Anyway, if you listened to the April Please Hold whatever that was, you know Dave dropped some knowledge. As I posted on the Cerebus Facebook group:

Since December of 2022, Dave Sim has drawn and finished pages 555 through 702 (probably more since I first wrote this...) of The Strange Death of Alex Raymond. Sean and Carson published pages 1-205 through Living the Line's hardcover version of SDOAR (with Carson's 30 page epilogue). Pages 587-593 were included in issue #68 of Yeet Presents (Mike Jones might still have copies available...) And page 604 was a Bonus Print on CAN12. Pages 206-554 exist as mock-ups you can get from Jen's GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/sdoar-2023, and her plan (with Philip R. Frey) is to produce print ashcans of those mock-ups. Dave has gone back and produced new finished art for a few of those pages, but he's mostly focused on moving forward (His actual "tagline" is: "Either Dave Sim finishes The Strange Death of Alex Raymond, or The Strange Death of Alex Raymond will finish Dave Sim...")

So, This.
