It seems like Bob created quite the bubble or entertainment around himself, if that essay can be taken at face value. Always loved his writing.Sean Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794186823194520775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-87382937221414608942017-07-29T13:47:32.635-05:002017-07-29T13:47:32.635-05:00Ut! Good ol' Bob Burden. I sure hope he's ...Ut! Good ol' Bob Burden. I sure hope he's still with us! FC #4 was a real game-changer for me, it started me on my short-lived quest to be a Burden completist, which is what led me to discover Cerebus. The most I've ever paid for a single issue of a comic book is still the hundred bucks I paid for Visions #1, runner-up is 75 for the original FC magazine-size #1. That was real money back in the '80s!<br /><br />I keep hoping we'll eventually get to see the "Making of Issue 104" documentary, what's the story with that anyway? As much as I love and appreciate the Cerebus Cover Art Treasury, I was definitely disappointed with the lack of commentary for the 104 cover<br /><br />I've been out of the loop, has it really been 10 years since anything new from Bob?Culpa Directhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986563229342793896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-9179378819157294672017-07-29T05:10:32.474-05:002017-07-29T05:10:32.474-05:00GAH! Don't do that, man! I thought this mean...GAH! Don't do that, man! I thought this meant that Bob Burden was actually dead, and that we'd absolutely not get any more Flaming Carrot. Phew, it appears he is still in the land of the living. So it's just very very likely we won't get any more Flaming Carrot. But there's always hope!<br /><br />To add to the Flaming Carrot (can't abbreviate it as FC or you might think I'm talking Following Cerebus) comicography, there was a crossover issue with Reid Fleming, World's Toughest Mailman, and there were...5, I guess, issues from Image/Desperado in the early 2000's, including a photo/fumetti issue starring Steranko. I believe it was because of the illness Dave refers to here that Bob ended that run of Flaming Carrot. And I don't know if we've gotten any since, and that's over 10 years?!?! GAH!<br /><br />I must dig up my Flaming Carrot issues, and read them and enjoy them. Best line, from one of the TMNT crossovers: "The kittens are not for catching alligators!"
