Off-White House Bulletin: Dave on Dave and his Art.

Hi, Everybody!

As we do:

Mondays! 

I had somebody ask about some of the earlier Monday Reports. I actually have a PDF of all of them. If you're interested in a copy, lemme know at momentofcerebus@gmail.com...

Cheap Cerebus! Cheap Cerebus for EVERYBODY! (Supplies are limited. Terms and conditions peradventure, apply.)

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 Six Deadly Sins Portfolio Anger plate ORIGINAL Art, I have "anger" that you guys have more money than me...
Cerebus #239 19 pages of Original Art, Dave's Alan Moore parody, Guest appearance by Roarin' Rick Veitch (who did some guest lettering), Double bag FIRST appearance of Zombie Red Sophia, Face it Effendi! This ONE has it ALL (except page 20 it doesn't have that...)!

And CAN13 has a launch page on the Kickstarter...
See, it's the Thirteenth Cerebus Archive Portfolio, and Birdsong made this the last Friday the 13th. It was kismet...

Speaking of Cerebus in Hell?, here's the latest Checklist:
Click for bigger. (Of course, the variants aren't listed. Like the Batvark: PENIS "Censored for Grandma" XXXXX, and the second printing. Or the Covid books had two covers. Not to even THINK about the Kickstarter books... Eh. you'll figure it out...) 
Made by Birdsong, colored by me. (Don't it "POP!"?)

And speaking of Birdsong, he was looking up Phonebook prices on eBay, and realized some of them are:
"getting more scarce on there. There is one copy of the remastered Church & State I going for $80. Going Home is still high despite being remastered. Jaka's story is pricey. The only cheap ones are the well read copies. Dave might consider hanging on to his copies as they will only go up in value."
 And then he realized he has a few that he's willing to part with. He's got:
High Society - 9th printing - the first phonebook I ever bought, still looks pretty good
High Society - 11th printing (remastered)
High Society - 12th printing with Red State signed Bookplate (remastered)
High Society - 12th printing with Blue State signed Bookplate (remastered)
Church & State I - 10th printing - my original, all my original phonebooks are well read, but look good for old guys
Church & State I - 12th printing (remastered)
Jaka's Story - 7th printing - November 2004, the first phonebook reprinted after Cerebus ended, takes me back
Form & Void - 2nd printing - same as the 1st printing, but not signed and numbered
The Last Day - 2nd printing - same as the 1st printing, but not signed and numbered
I have a 1st printing of Minds that I got from Dave years ago. 311/2100 and signed by Dave and Gerhard. I'm going to leave that one for my daughter ("Listen, honey, trust me, just put it in your gun safe and look up what it is worth in 20 years.") I'd like to get these in the hands of Cerebus fans not comic shops so if you guys know any desperate fans...
 I know all sorts of fans. Including Cerebus Super Fan (did he get one of those, he SHOULD have.) Nate "The Goddamn Batman" Oberstein
I'd explain this, but I don't think I have to. Nate's "The Goddamn Batman". He just is...

whom Birdsong wanted to have first crack at his phonebooks before I offered them up to you guys. 

Nate has all those. He's got pretty much all the versions of all the phonebooks. But when I asked him, he said:
My friend Logan killed himself about a year ago and now I have his Cerebus issues. He had 16-300, I gave a bunch away, but I still have #16,18,21-26, 28,32,37,41,49,51-53,58-62,64-66,69,74,76,80-111,114-146,148-151,155-156,160,162-214. Let me know if any fans need them.
Nate just wants the price of shipping. Email momentofcerebus@gmail.com, and I'll get you in touch with "The Goddamn Batman" (it's like I'm Commissioner Gordon. Up on a roof with my private spotlight...)

Birdsong on the other hand, well you should "grease his palm with silver...", same address and I'll get you in touch with him.

Speaking of "greasing palms with silver"...

Welcome back to the next round of the race here at the AMOC Race Track, where our motto is: “You’ll Probably Like Our Nags A Lot Better Than The Ones You Get At Home”


Both horses are taking up their starting positions from where we left off: ’82 TOUR-DIARY at $61 with a $17 dollar lead against PLEASE-HOLD, sitting at $44. Jockeys are readying up, waiting for the bell…looks like both horses are ready..annndddd….<ding!>  THEY’RE OFF!!



’82 TOUR-DIARY still in the lead, but PLEASE-HOLD is holding steady. Both horses sticking to their paces with no discernible change in position.  Coming around the bend and it’s ’82 TOUR-DIARY at the front, with PLEASE-HOLD struggling to catch up..AND WE HAVE A $5 DONATION FOR PLEASE-HOLD, BRINGING IT TO $49, within a $12 gap from ’82 TOUR-DIARY! 


Ladies and Gentlemen, at this point it’s still anyone’s game to win or lose! Overconfidence has been the cause of many a lost horse race since the Greeks..


( and some minor trivia for all our spectators: ’82 TOUR-DIARY’s Maternal Granddam was actually the horse Frodo rides across the river to get away from the Black Riders, in the 1978 Ralph Bakshi animated version of THE LORD OF THE RINGS. So we have a bit of an interesting connection there with the lineage…)


You can see the determination in both riders' faces. PLEASE-HOLD seems energized by the donation, gaining ground! In this precarious spot neither rider wants to exhaust their horse too early in the race, leading to burn-out and allowing the other horse to..A $50 DONATION FOR ’82 TOUR-DIARY!!! ’82 TOUR-DIARY HAS THROWN CAUTION TO THE WIND AND CHARGED AHEAD, GAINING  A STRONGLY DOMINANT LEAD IN THE RACE!  AND WE FINISH THE ROUND WITH  ’82 TOUR-DIARY at $111 and PLEASE-HOLD WITH $49!!


What a race! I tell you, Ladies and Gentlemen, you won’t get this kind of excitement sitting at home watching reruns of LEAVE IT TO BEAVER!  It looks like PLEASE-HOLD is going to need a miracle (or a donor with deep pockets) to win, but anything can happen (and usually does) around these parts! Come back next week for the next round, and we’ll be back after a word from our sponsor: LISS HOCKEY-STICKS (“When you want to put that b*stard puck right between their b*stard eyes. You won’t miss with LISS!”)


Eddie is a strange man. I mean, most of us around here are weird, but Eddie is STRANGE...

If YOU, yes YOU!, want that blue pony to win, then head over here, and click "Please Hold For Dave Sim" and give all the money you want to help that little blue pony beat the snot out of that red horse-faced bastard...

BUT, if you want that Raging Red Stallion to continue to...THRUST(!) harder...and uh...deeper towards the uh, "finish" line... um... then head over here and click "82 Tour Book" and keep throwing money at the lawn ornament in yellow so he can keep driving that little blue ball of suck into the mud.

You have until the end of the month. Then it's champagne in the Winner's Circle followed by Stud Service at premium prices for somebody and the Glue Factory for the other guy.

The horses will be there too...

And before I get to the ACTUAL POST for today, this JUST came in:
Hi Matt,
Sim's original art auction No.200, page 17 is going live for auction starting tonight (soon, 10pm ET):

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

Hi, Everybody!

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:

  • 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.

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...

Since Jen is busy writing her acceptance speech, glamourpuss 10: the secret cartoonist's handshake...

Hi, Everybody!

THIS:
Click for bigger...

Is on the eBays: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/127781131875 (For the next NINE-ish days.)

So Jen's in London because her Show: Woman in the Arena, was nominated for an award:

Anyway, the next performance is May 4-5, 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
"I'd like to thank all the little people who made this possible. I don't remember any of your names, but you know who you are..."
Classy Jen @#$&ing classy...

Just the GoFundMe Facts, Man...ly:

$20,900.00 raised to date from 391 donations
128 pages released so far as mocked up and/or drawn by Dave Sim through 22 Feb 2022, or 2/22/22 for all the numerologists
$100.00 away from unlocking page 129
If you have not donated, a $5+ donation grants you access to all 126 pages and all unlocked pages moving forward >> https://www.gofundme.com/f/sdoar-2023
GoFundMe now offers automated monthly donations!
>> https://www.gofundme.com/f/sdoar-2023/donate?source=btn_donate 

During March's Please Hold For Dave Sim, Dave said he had completed page 697 of The Strange Death of Alex Raymond on February 26th. So by next month he should have page 700 done. I'm hoping I can get him to send me a scan, so that I can share it with all you beautiful peoples...

Living the Line's next Kickstarter is gonna have...TWENTY-ONE pages of The Strange Death of Alex Raymond in it. These are pages Dave has drawn since the wrist started working again. No idea if they're from before the seven Yeet Presents pages, or after, or nowhere near them... 

No Note from the Senior SDOAR Remaster...master, Philip Fry this week, he better be getting me some Spider-Man pictures:
I'll allow it...

So, This.

Then:

Living the Line's next Kickstarter with 21 pages of The Strange Death of Alex Raymond in it. Now with Archival Cerebus related offerings.

Original Cerebus Art on eBay...

Hi, Everybody!


THIS:

Is on the eBays: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/127781131875 (starting at 9PM tonight. For the next TEN days.)
_________________
Oh crap! The Boss is back, everybody look busy!

And normally this is where I'd run a Please Hold transcript, but I wanna answer a comment from the other day...

So when I discussed the Cerebus Miscellany, Richard P commented:
Other possible inclusions.....

The Frost Giant's Wedgie
Cerebus Animated Portfolio (Add One Mummified Bat, His First Sword, A Well Equipped Bar)
Normalman #10
Working back'ards, I discussed normalman #10 yesterday.

As to the Animated Cerebus, it's a bit of a headache. The three "stories" are told through forty-five plates. That's either forty-five more pages, or you have to get creative...

Which is what Brendan Hunt did in his Cerebus Apocrypha:





It works, but it also doesn't work...

The best version I've seen was the Flash animations Jeff Tundis had on his Cerebus page (I'd link to them, but they don't work anymore...). There are also links to online versions at this old post from "the good ol' days" when Tim ran the joint... Anyway, Brendan's version is another one of those "odd" choices to me. He doesn't include the cover:

Back to Richard P., the Animated Cerebus can't be included because it's a Portfolio, and we're leaving out the portfolios (otherwise you'd have to include the Six Deadly Sins, and the First Fifth, and all the posters and prints and sketches and whatnots and that way lies Madness...)

And The Frost Giants' Wedgie could be considered a Print (because it was sold as an 11x17 print. I know, I have/had one (I might have sent it to Spatula...). And we're not including prints...)

Okay, I'm done posting about the Miscellany until after X XXXXX XX XXXXXXX, XXX XXX XX XXXXXXX XX X XXXXX, XXX Dave XX XXXX XX XX. And then see if he'll XXXXXX XX, XXX XXX XX XX XX CerebusDownloads XXX XXXXXXXX! XXX XXX XXXXX XXX XXXX. That's the plan, anyways... (And if you understood all that, congratulations TeeVee that wasn't even in a code...)

Cerebus the Aardvark #1 (and Spawn #10) en Español (I know it's in a language you might not read, but it'll be highly collectable if they only do this one Kickstarter... Plus, you aren't a REAL Spawn completist if you don't have a copy of EVERY variant...)

Living the Line's next Kickstarter with 21 pages of The Strange Death of Alex Raymond in it. Now with Archival Cerebus related offerings.

I had reason to email Gerhard about something, and I mentioned the Tyrant Kickstarter, which he was the original colorist on the covers, and said:
In the future, if you need money, you could think about doing an Artist's Edition collection of "Ger's Least Hated Cerebus Pages". Printing at size the Original Art pages you like the most. Pick the 100 or so pages, write a little commentary on what you like about 'em, Kickstarter the whole package and "Bob's your uncle"...
Or, ya know, don't.
to  which he replied:
Glad to see that Steve is doing so well on his Kickstarter.
As for me doing a Kickstarter... I'd sooner have a molten lead enema than go through that.
Thanks for thinking of me, though.
So don't be expecting a Gerhard led Kickstarter in this lifetime...

Next Time: You don't care, you want that Cerebus page...

Sunday, 15 March 2026

Well, I guess this post is 90% superfluous?

Hi, Everybody!

Well crap.

I WAS gonna post some more "missing" Cerebus Miscellany stories to get 'em all in the "Hey Kids! Comics!" section over on the right somewhere, when I discovered I had already posted them, and just didn't get 'em on the list. 

So if you wanna read all of this:

The links are in there now. But in case your "Matt" lazy:
Added bonus, the only (as far as I know) Jam for Cerebus Jam #2 (which never came out, this appeared in the back of Cerebus #91):

Wow.

I just saved you three bucks on eBay...

Speaking of, Dave's got a guy selling stuff for him on eBay:
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/127720633262 Dave Sim VARKDALORIAN - LONE VARK AND CUB (#1) Signed 3/5 (#14/26) 9.8 SCARCE
Secret Origins (2/5) opening bid $15 https://www.ebay.ca/itm/127740073335
Possum-At-Large (2/5) opening bid $15 https://www.ebay.ca/itm/127740083061
Lone Vark and Cub (4/5) opening bid $40 https://www.ebay.ca/itm/267604813427

Anyway, in his notes on the stories, Dave said that Scott and Bo Hampton's page six to their Jam (The Defense of Fort Columbia) would be in the next issue of Cerebus the Newsletter. As I don't have those (yes, the guy who got suckered into running A Moment of Cerebus doesn't have a complete collection of all the Cerebus-related ephemera... What do ya want? I wasn't gifted a collection of all things Cerebus when I took this job, I was given the log in here and for the AMOC twitter account. And a rapidly fading "Good Luck" as Tim W. ran away like his tail was on fire and his ass was catching...) (what I DO have is a Margaret. And Margaret has ALL the ephemera. So, if enough people ask her, maybe she'll grace me with a halfway decent scan, and I'll do a post 'bout it in the future...), I can't show you guys. 

Anyway, there's a Moment?

Like the logo? I stole it...
