Man, Dion is gonna laugh when he sees this...

Hi, Everybody!

Dave sends me stuff.

Like this little item from J. Toons:





Here's  a video of the pencilling:



And a timelapse of the inking:
Thanks to Rolly for sending this, Dave for telling him to, and Joshua for making the whole thing necessary...

Rigamarole:
Josh Even has a new deal for the new year:
Happy New Year! Let’s make this the Year of the Earth Pig. I have recovered from the inaugural 2024 run of 30 ‘Deluxe’ Earth Pig Warriors.
I will start off 2024 by opening up orders for the 2025 ‘Basic Bitch’ Earth Pig Warrior.
Here’s the pricing. The two prices are for ‘unpainted’ and ‘painted’. ‘Painted’ for this run means painted heads and black-lined bodies- so the medallions swords will be the comic-style gray.
If you want gold or silver medallions or a gold & silver sword, that’s a bit extra.
Shipping to the US will be included. Shipping out of the continental US will be extra (determined at time of shipping).
All orders will come with a collector’s card and some stickers!
Basic figure (1 head, 1 pair hands- right grip/left fist, one gray sword) $90/$100. Choose from one of 4 available heads (see photo).
Extras:
Painted medallions (silver or gold) $5
Extra Head $10/$20
Hands $8/$10 - left grip/right fist or open pair
Painted sword (silver and gold) $20
Fabric Vest $20
Let’s see how this goes!
Direct message me to order.
Each order will need a $20 down payment to get going.
I’ll place an order with the printer at the end of a week if I have orders. Those will be completed in the order they are received.
Thanks everyone! Tell your friends!

If you click on Josh's name, it's supposed to take you to his Facebook post. But if that doesn't work, or you don't deal with Zuck the Fuck's bullcrap, you can always send an e-mail to momentofcerebus@gmail.com, and I'll get you in touch with Josh. You can see a video of my 80s Earth-Pig Warrior here.

Our friends at The Waverly Press are running a new Kickstarter:
FACTORY POEMS by BIBBE HANSEN
Bibbe Hansen's poetry dedicated to the people around Andy Warhol's Factory with accompanying rare photographs.
Bibbe Hansen comes from a well known family of remarkable artists. Her late father was Fluxus artist Al Hansen, her son Beck is a widely known musician and son Channing a successful visual artist. Bibbe is a writer, performer and visual artist. As a teenager she was a member of the group “The Whippets” with Jack Kerouac's daughter Jan Kerouac, releasing the 7" single Go Go Go With Ringo in 1964. That same year, while visiting galleries with her father Al, she met Andy Warhol who decided then and there to make a film based on her experiences called Prison where she starred alongside Edie Sedgwick, Pat Hartley and Marie Menken. Bibbe went on to appear in numerous other Warhol films including Restaurant, 10 Beautiful Girls, 10 More Beautiful Girls, and sat for two Screen Tests.
In Case You May Be Interested.

A weird but "easy" question...

Hi, Everybody!

First, Mondays!
______________
So, I got a question at momentofcerebus@gmail.com, from...France:
Hello,

I'm French (English is not my mother tongue), and I've just recently started reading Cerebus for the first time, in the original version since there isn't really a French translation of the whole thing. In the second story, Cerebus says to his attacker: “COMNE YE TAMA STET FEGRIA!”. I couldn't work out what this meant, even using translators. Is it a pun?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Gio
He's referring to this page:

 Anyway, I replied:
Gio!

Hello. I believe there may be a French edition of the second volume: High Society.

As to your question, it's a made up language. Cerebus says it, and the caption says it's an insult (if I remember correctly).

I hope that helps.
Manly Matt Dow
He replied:
Thank you for your answer. I know about the French translation of the second volume (and the third).

It's a made up language, but does it have meaning? Will I understand the use of this made-up language later in the story?

Thank you,
Gio
And I said:
As far as I know, this is the only time the made up language is ever spoken.

In future installments, it's referred to but always in English.

So no worries.
Manly Matt Dow
Sometimes helping people is the best part of the job...

"...for his belly and purse are empty..."

Hi, Everybody!






______________________________
Dave has a NEW Cerebus story appearing in the LEGENDS OF INDIE COMICS: WORDS ONLY Kickstarter. They're $115 away from the Goal. Which makes this update fortuitous:
"Secrets of Indie Comics" Reward Price Drop to $150!

BIG NEWS, EVERYONE! Thanks to a price drop, you can get the SECRETS OF INDIE COMICS ALL-STAR COURSE for just $150! What a great way to support the LEGENDS OF INDIE COMICS: WORDS ONLY campaign...and learn from a team of superstar creators in the bargain!

In this incredible course, you will learn the secrets of publishing indie comics from Mike Baron (The Badger), Donna Barr (The Desert Peach), Bob Burden (Flaming Carrot), Michael T. Gilbert (Mr. Monster), Steven Grant (Whisper), Mike Grell (Jon Sable, Freelance), Javier Hernandez (El Muerto), Justin Jordan (Luther Strode), Donald Simpson (Megaton Man), Joe Staton (Michael Mauser), and Mark Verheiden (The American).

This course will be a blast, and now you can get it for the best price ever!

Thank you for your interest and support of the LEGENDS project! Together, we will make history, bringing together these classic characters and superstar creators in one volume of thrilling fiction for the first time ever!
If just ONE person backs at this level, they'll put 'em over their goal, and I'll get my new Cerebus story, and that lucky person will learn all the secrets and become the ultimate Indy Creator...or something.

Dave/Cerebus adjacent Kickstarters:
Steve Peters he's not even 50% funded, but he's offering New Art Rewards:
With one week to go, we have a very steep climb to the finish line! I've decided to add new original art rewards. I don't know if it'll help, but we'll give it the old college try. All art rewards have the same conditions: I'll draw whatever scene you want, but with either Sparky or Comicverse characters (or, if anybody wants to get really obscure, Rabbit Hell characters). I have several 4" X 9" pieces, which will be used as single panels in a future Comicverse story, or blank Comicverse sketch covers.
I've gotten a few of the sketch covers, and Steve ALWAYS knocks it out of the park. Can't recommend that option enough... Six days to go.
James Habaneros Rancheros Windsor Catherine-Jones-Starky he's made it, fill out your surveys so I can get my stuff...
Shannon Wheeler, totally funded. I'ma getting a copy because I bought the last collection, and remastered goodness is always cool.
Robert T. Jeschonek, launching soon.
John and Scott Palochik, 19 days to go. Dave liked issue #1.

New Dave Art Alert! (And the inevitable return of the most sensational character find of 2020!)

Hi, Everybody!

Four hours left to back Friend to the Blog, Gary Boyarski's Kickstarter for his next issue of Jack Grimm: Harbinger of Death, with the Dave AND Gerhard art on the variant covers:

The Waverly Press shared Gary's Kickstarter too.

They also said (okay, they didn't EXACTLY phrase it this way, but they like me to use "my own words", and I don't think you guys understand what "Cho" means, and it just goes downhill from there...):
Greetings suckers, [I kid, I kid... -Matt] "Greetings backer-types",

[Like three days ago... -Matt] brings the biggest update [Matt's ripped of...um, "posted"].

All of the extras around the Cerebus No. 2 campaign have been produced.

And there was much rejoicing! 

Enjoy the preview photos below which include the 5x7" postcard, 1.5" button and Jaka trading card which were stretch reward that every backer will receive. The sticker, signed and numbered set of 5 posters, and trading cards either come with select packages or were pledged as add-ons. [Must have been nice to have all that monies...-Matt]

The Cerebus books are being printed and we expect to receive them in about 3 weeks [You'll get 'em six to eight weeks afterward. Stupid mail service slowdowns... -Matt].

Some of you still have not filled out your reward surveys [losers... -Matt], so please get those filled out as soon as you can to avoid any delays in getting your packages shipped [That six to eight weeks will be months otherwise... Matt].

If you want to pick up any additional books then you still have a few days left to get them on Indiegogo.
They also sent me and Margaret a message about a couple of upcoming projects that we're consulting on. I'm sharing it, but I didn't ask permission, and I don't wanna get in trouble if I'm not supposed to share it, so:
(I just know Dion Turner's gonna crack what it says. I just know it...)

And Dave sent me:

Click for the biggers...

Click for smaller... j/k! it only gets bigger

Say, do you think Cerebus just beheaded his first Borealan in these:


Look at that neat collection of flaming hovels:


Anyway:
I'm giving away digital PDFs of glamourpuss for anybody that wants 'em. Just email momentofcerebus@gmail.com and I'll hook ya up.
