The Dutiful and the Banned (Dave's weekly update #607)

Hi, Everybody!

Like it says on the Logo:
The little bit on the bottom there...

It's Friday, so that means:
Dave's Weekly Update:
A Moment of Cerebus runs Saturday through Friday.

The Week in AMOC:
  • Saturday: Aardvark Comment
  • Sunday: More Roach.
  • Monday: The Monday Report, and Please Hold transcript for 9/2021.
  • Tuesday: Jen's back in the States, but wasn't feeling good. And I just wasn't feeling it to help raise funds on The Strange Death of Alex Raymond GoFundMe$200 until page 119 of Dave's POST-Carson SDOAR mock-up pages unlocks . AND GoFundMe has a MONTHLY option now, so you can schedule a reoccurring donation. 
  • Wednesday: The NEW Cerebus in Hell? weekly strip continues. Follow along on Instagram
  • Thursday: Margaret has posted ALL of Albatross One. (If you click that link, you can see all the pages of the notebook, OR, you can get a PHYSICAL copy here.) And all of The Last Notebook. Now she's gonna burn through all of Notebook #21. So sit back and get ready for pages and pages and pages of walls of handwritten text... This week, Campaign ’93 material!
  • 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 past week in AMOC. You're welcome.

Friend to the Blog Steve Peters is back with the next Tails of Sparky, #6, the next in the "Seasons of Sparky" series. Why you care (besides that Steve's a pal and does good comics...) is that he has a LIMITED number of 
Tails of Sparkybus #6 Signed Variant
Signed by Dave Sim (Dave Sim 2025) on a tipped-in plate. It will also be signed by Steve Peters and numbered, and features a 6-page collaboration with Sim that will only appear in the variant.
It's limited to TWENTY-FIVE  Steve says there are THIRTY-TWO, but he hasn't released them all yet, copies (So if you want one, maybe don't wait...)

Steve also has copies of Dave's variant covers to the two previous issues, so you can get the set if you missed out. 

He's also got the Sparkybus prints Dave did that I had printed up.

You can't say I didn't warn ya!

Zipper calls in a favor:
Hi Matt!

I stopped in a JAF comics this afternoon after work and had nice conversation with John. John is the owner of JAF Comics and publisher of Dreamscape Comics. He asked me for a favor. So, I'm asking if you for a favor. Can you please kindly promote John's new book, Lady Savage, through the Rigamarole. It's live on Kickstarter now and need a little push to get the book fully funded. Most of the creative team has gone to the Joe Kubert School of Art.

Friend to the Blog, James Windsor-Banderas-Smith has a new Kickstarter for Papa Balloon & Cactus #5. He's got a few copies of one of Dave's variant covers for the previous issues as rewards. ACTUALLY, he found a bunch of copies of issues he thought were out of print, so I think you can get the whole series. He's got T-Shirts too.

The 1st photo is of me and John at JAF Comics holding up the 1st issue of Lady Savage which you can pledge for on Kickstarter right now. The 2nd photo is the comic of Lady Savage. The 3rd photo was from the Lehigh Valley Comic Con back in April with Gary Petras on the right holding up the ashcan of Lady Savage.

John gave me a copy of the Kickstarter book for Dave Sim which I plan to send by this weekend.

Thank you, Matt!

Post-Please Hold Techno Boogie

Hi, Everybody!

Well, THAT was fun... (that's a link to THE TWO THOUSAND TWENTY-THREE PLEASE HOLD FOR DAVE SIM CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR! In case you missed it.) I think the video portion keeps getting screwed up, but here's the full playlist.

And now the monthly round-up of the things I didn't include because it was after @$%&ING MIDNIGHT when I finished the post:

Part 3: Michael De Santis is getting this,
And James Banderas*-Smith is getting this,
for finding and sharing this,


*the story how James became a Banderas:



Part 4: For those like Rob Snell, with an interest in Dave's Notebooks, here's Margaret's most "recent" round-up post. (Um...crap, that's from January. Click here for ALL the notebook posts from this year. I'm sure Margaret will have the NEW round-up post in the next couple of weeks.)

Part 5: Since Dave announced it, here's Eddie with the "annoncement":

Details: 
CEREBUS #1 Facsimile Edition 2024?
$20 unsigned and $30 signed.
Sure if you want the get vitriol going early, I guess.
To celebrate, I put Dave's recreation of page 1 of issue 1 on merch.

Speaking of which, got my Black Friday purchase from The AMOC TeePublic Shoppe:

Everything is up to 35% off: December 10-18 and December 25-29.

Part 6: You can get your Chris Woerner merch right here. (Buy a bunch, Bezos is going broke and needs your money...)

Part 8: Here's your BibleHub.com. Tarantino swiped his version from The Bodyguard. (Just sayin')

Part10: Here's the Incredible Pulp signing pictures:










Okay, that's more Moments than you people deserve...

Next Time: A simple short post...

Sunday, 1 October 2023

Ya know, if I didn't @#%& around so much, I wouldn't have to do these "Jam packed Fax round-up" posts...

Hi, Everybody!

So TODAY is your last day to fill out and return this:
Click for bigger
New Contest: Fill out the word search, send a copy of your completed entry to momentofcerebus@gmail.com by October first, and you'll be entered into a drawing for a Little Orphan Aardvark prize back! (What's in the prize back? I dunno. I haven't figured that out yet, but it's GURANTEED to have at least one piece of paper with Daddy Varkbucks signature on it (it'll say "Dave Sim", not "Daddy Varkbucks", but you get the idea...) (The piece of paper could be anything. A vintage Cerebus comic, a promotional postcard, original art, anything! Ya know...that Dave has sent me and is in the AMOC Prize drawer...). Plus a L.O.A.S.S. entry kit for those not in the wordsearch. Maybe FIVE American dollars... The possibilities are nearly endless (the actualities are not.). )

RULES (Read these carefully, ya don't want to be a Seiler and end up disqualified...):
  1. Fill out the wordsearch.
  2. Send it to momentofcerebus@gmail.com
  3. 1 (one) point each for each name on the list found
  4. 5 (five) points for any word NOT on the list found. (MINIMUM THREE LETTERS! "BE" won't get you shit. Ya gotta put in a little effort. ALSO: Real verifiable words only. (Although ya may get extra points if you find "Kwyjibo"...) 
  5. Bonus 50 (fifty) points if you can identify WHO these people actually are (10 (ten) points for a partial list since you guys probably will never guess who Empennage and Sundrop are, I don't even think THEY know...)
  6. Get your entry in by October (10) 1st (first) (That's 10/1/2023 for you guys living in the future...)
  7. After that I'ma take the entries, calculate the points, and highest point total wins the Big Prize, everybody else gets entered into a drawing for a 2nd (second) place prize. Depending on turnout, EVERYBODY might get a prize. Or, if this one actually takes off and more than Zipper and Dodger enter, there might only be 3 (three) prizes.
  8. My decisions are final.
Good luck! And Remember" Aardvark is counting on YOU!

FIVE entries so far, so those guys all hope you sleep on this one...
