If I'm using a vintage View-Master to look at forty+ year old photos, is it really Retro?

Hi, Everybody!

Did ya get the $25 sale?
10AM to 2PM Eastern time. Set an alarm.

Go nuts! Next one is...the Fourth of July.

As we do:

Mondays! 

I had somebody ask about some of the earlier Monday Reports. I actually have a PDF of the first 238 Reports (I'm going to make a new version with the first 250, and start a second for the rest up until #500 (if Dave gets that far...).) If you're interested in a copy, lemme know at momentofcerebus@gmail.com...

As you all should know by now (if you check A Moment of Cerebus more than once a month "to see if it's gotten good again..." (SPOLIER WARNING: it hasn't.).), Dave's CONTINUING the Please PAY For Dave Sim format. If you want more '82 Tour Book discussion, go HERE, and pay for "Dave Sim 82 Tour Book". But if you'd rather hear more stereotypical Please Hold (*shudder*) "content", go HERE and pay for "Please Hold For Dave Sim". Either way, I have to amuse myself in the Editing Suite assembling these things... (wanna find out how many of these I already own? Then you're gonna wanna pay for more '82...)

Speaking of 1982, I got my "retroviewer" reels:

The first thing is that instead of a series of seven photos in a cardboard sleeve, it's a solid translucent piece of plastic.

You can see my kid through the Aardvark...

Overall, it's better than a vintage reel, and I can see looking through the AV Family Photo Album for another seven photos and doing more in the future (Moondance Comics and the first meeting with Eastman and Laird. Creators Rights Summit. UK Tours. Spirits of Independence. There's A LOT of photos in the album... (NO Mags, I'm not doing a "Connie Lingus" reel just for you.) (I sent you all the photos, you can make your own damn reels. I'm NOT your slave Liss!).)

Anyway, if you saw the pics and are interested in getting a reel for yourself, the deal is:

So, if you've gotten this far and "WANT!", lemme know by sending a message to momentofcerebus@gmail.com. If we hit high enough numbers, the price will get real cheap, but I'll still have to pay to ship them. I'll find out how expensive that is when I mail Margaret hers (domestic), and Dave his (international).

If the Waverly Press version had hit Kickstarter, I feel like this would have been something they would have done.

SPEAKING of my friends at the Waverly Press, they're moving their office, and to lighten the loads, they're temporarily cutting prices on their remaining Cerebus inventory on their eBay store starting this weekend. They're gonna be gradually listing more things in the coming days and any orders placed next week will receive new ‘82 Tour promo cards. They may go ahead and offer the remaining prototypes of the big book and comic versions next week. MAYBE. So if you're interested, maybe stalk their eBay page like a crazy person...

And Dave's  auctioning these:

Next Time: Jen has a post in the kitty awaiting me glamourpussin' it up...

Some of the Waverly '82 books have sold:
6 out of 10 available TBP
2 out of 19 'comic editions' sets
1 out of 3 available (but recently the listing was ended by Waverly) sets with all three versions

Too pricey for my waning interest; I wonder if any of the material I supplied images for was used? I wonder if I got credit?
