The toning of Narutobus #1 is finished!

Here's a comparison of the first three Baby Throwing Panels from Church and State I to Narutobus #1:

Next week: More CIH? fun!

Spore Batvark #380 in stores TODAY!

Benjamin Hobbs:

It's the last Wednesday of the month... time to rush to your LCS and pick up your copy of Spore Batvark #380 Guest Starring Michael R.! Available in signed and Unsigned!

Michael R. sent in these pictures of himself with Spore Batvark #380.  HOW did he manage to get to two different stores in two different states for the release of Spore Batvark #380?  Industry secrets!

Next Time: A.I. Generated CIH? panels?

Cerebus in A.I. Hell? Part 4: A.I. Lord Julius

Benjamin Hobbs:

Recently I've been making some images using the A.I. generator over at Night Cafe.  I prompted it to make Lord Julius.  It turns out that the thick mustache and eyebrows make ANYTHING look like Lord Julius.

Even when the mustache is the wrong color:

Here he is talking to himself:

Next Time: Spore Batvark #380 is at you LCS!

Spore Batvark- Behind the scenes part 2

Benjamin Hobbs:

Spore Batvark One shot is available now to order from Diamond. In both Signed and Unsigned:

Michael R, Regular AMOCer, was asked by Dave to be in Spore Barvark One shot. This is the fax from Dave that started it all:

Michael received it with this email from David Birdsong:

Hi Michael,

Here are some instructions from Dave for your upcoming guest appearance.  I'm pretty sure Dave's suggestions will work.  You don't have to hang a sheet, but do take the photos against a solid background.  White would be great, but any bright color is fine, just anything to stand in for the "Green Screen".  Fortunately with today's technology it doesn't have to necessarily be green anymore.

No rush, we're finishing up next year's July issue and starting August tomorrow so plenty of time to get into character.

Thanks,

David B

 

What was Michael's reply?  Did he SEND the photos? Find out next week!

 

Next Week: The exciting conclusion to Spore Batvark- Behind the scenes

Aardvarkian Splendor.... In stores today?

Benjamin Hobbs:

It's the last Wednesday of the month, so there SHOULD be a new CIH? #1 at your LCS... however, the unsigned Aardvarkian Splendor #1 was delayed at the printer.  So it may or may not be at your LCS. If it isn't in stores today, it will be next week. I'm hearing that the signed book is out this week, and may have arrived early last week.  Let me know in the comments if yours arrived this week!

Now available to order from Diamond Spore/Batvark One Shot! Available signed, and unsigned:

Next Week: A VERY special Making of Spore/Batvark!

Spawn #10 Remastered: Diamond Edition!

Benjamin Hobbs:

It has come to my attention that A-V will be releasing Spawn #10 Remastered through Diamond at some point in the future.  I suggested using this unused color variant for the Diamond Edition:

The price and publisher will have to be changed.  More details, such as release date and price, as they arrive!

Next Week:  I'm hoping my office is set up and I'm actually working full time again. Setting up a house takes a lot of time, as it turns out.

A moving story.

Benjamin Hobbs:

I'm moving this week, so there's a lot of hustle and bustle going on here.  But not a lot related to CIH? So while I'm settling in, here's a couple photos of Laura manning our table at Gem City Comic Con two weekends ago.

Next Week: Hopefully I'm settled, unpacked and back at the drawing board on Cerebus In Public Domain Romance.  (Real Title FORTHCOMING!)

Cerebus In Public Domain Romance Comics: The Writers Meeting

Benjamin Hobbs:

First, Laura McFarland and I will be at The Gem City Comic Con on July 22nd and 23rd, in Dayton, Ohio.  Come say hi and get books signed! We'll have some Show Special Prices on back issues and Swords of CIH? Soft Covers  as well!

Click the image below for more about the show:

This week I spent a lot of time moving around panels to create a coherent set of pages for the Cerebus Public Domain Romance Comic.  Here's a photo of the writers meeting:

My cat is 100% getting a writing credit on this book.  Her input is invaluable.  She definitely isn't just getting in the way, and trying to knock over open bottles of ink. Or batting the brush out of my hand.  Or nipping at my fingers when I read the hilarious dialogue to her. 

Here are the pages we're writing dialogue for (Panel order may not be final):

The blank spots on the last page will have text in them.

Next Week: More Public Domain Romance!

The Aversions #1... IN STORES NOW!

Benjamin Hobbs:

It's the last Wednesday of the month! Time to roll into your LCS and DEMAND the newest CIH? one-shot.  This month's entry: The Aversions #1. Available both signed and unsigned:

 

Now available to order from Diamond: Aardvarkian Splendor #1. Signed by Dave and not signed by Dave:

Also available, The Last Day:

We're thinking about doing Aardvarkian Splendor variants.  The two tiny covers featured on the regular cover.  But as full covers. Let us know in the comments if you'd be interested:

Next Week: MORE Cerebus in Public Domain Romance comics!

More CIH? Public Domain Romance

Benjamin Hobbs:

Here's an entire page of panels, grabbed from a variety of (theoretically) public domain romance comics. I enjoy how the hair styles of the woman look close enough to one another that they start to look like the same woman.  The word balloons were drawn the size they were on the swiped panels. Therefore, they differ in size a lot. I'm inclined to remove them and add new ones digitally, as is the CIH? way. 

Next Week: It's the last Wednesday of the month! New CIH? at your LCS!

These are the new printing WITH the "The Last Day" sticker on the spine to cover up the "Form & Void" F***-UP.

If you'd rather have the misprint, CerebusDownload.com. But then you're gonna have to pony up for the Remarque...

Anyway, if YOU want YOUR copy of the Remastered The Last Day to be personalized (like mine is), you need to pay at CerebusDownload.com, then call (519) 576-0610 and leave a message for Dave explaining that you bought a copy (I'd say what the name that paid is, so Dave can verify with Eddie. Like if you're Hunter, but RauolDuke@email.com paid, I'd say "Hi Dave! This is RauolDuke@email.com, I paid for a Remarqued The Last Day at CerebusDownload.com, and would like it personalized "To Hunter!" please. I've been a fan since somewhere near Barstow on the edge of the desert..." (Ya know that the tape DOES run out, right?...) OR, if you have the technology, you could fax your PayPal receipt to (519) 576-0955 to prove to Dave that you paid, and include your personalization request. Or if you know Eddie's email (I do. I know all sorts of stuff. Like the address of the Off White House. And what Dave meant by "gum cards". And Gerhard's shoe size. It's all in the AMOC Editor's Book of Secrets...), you could email Eddie with your personalization request, and make HIM tell Dave to write "To Hunter!" on your Remarqued The Last Day that you bought from CerebusDownload.com for $99 Canadian Dollars.
