Hi, Everybody!
Jen's show is DONE. She posted this:
What a magical month it’s been in Edinburgh. Fringe has surpassed every expectation, every hope, every dream I ever could have had. I have SO many things to talk about and unpack in the next few weeks, so bear with me for a few more days, but hiking to the top of Arthur’s Seat today with a 20” x 30” poster of my show under my arm seemed like an appropriate way to wrap things up! So much love to everyone I met, everyone who came to my show, and especially everyone who wrote a note to me in my book. To quote an audience review, my heart is full!
You can get reports straight from Jen's mouth if you follow her on the 'gram.
Anyway, that means I'ma still doing her bit:

As Jen has copy/pasted from her last post:
3) The next raffle is for a full-page Silverspoon strip from The Buyer's Guide for Comic Fandom #321, January 11, 1980. These are really hard to come by so, I hope everyone considers joining the raffle. Speaking of which ...
4) Last time I posted, I discussed raffle tickets were going to go for $5 a pop and no one complained, so let it be written, so let it be done. I also mentioned that all donations since the last raffle will be included, meaning we have 97 raffle tickets sold so far. If we break 150 tickets, I'll toss another Silverspoon page into the bucket.
And Jen always says:
The Strange Death of Alex Raymond New Mockups Preview
If you haven't read The Strange Death of Alex Raymond before, we have an eight-page trailer that Dave did back in 2018: Part One | Part Two
Then the Dave Sim portion of the hardcover, presented four pages at a time:
This,
And this.
If you want to see how Carson Grubaugh finished the hardcover, well, you're going to need to purchase a copy of your own. HOWEVER, if you want to see how Dave Sim continued the story in the blue pages -- bring me the blue pages -- mockups that appeared in blue ink in final section of the hardcover can be found here...
This,
Then in June 2021, Dave picked up the story again and it continues here, here, here, here, and here.
If you enjoy the journey, you can join us for all the new pages on Dropbox by donating $5 or more.

And since I gotta justify posting on a Tuesday, here's a SAD update on My Lego Cerebus Minifigure Project:
Bad News? Thanks to the Dementia Don, America's racist rapist leader and his idiotic tariffs, Lego has stopped shipping from overseas. So if you live in the good ol' USA! USA! USA!, you can't get all the pieces you're gonna need to build your own Cerebus.
MINI UPPER PART NO 12664292298/76382MINI LOWER PART4227657/73200MINI LEG6495195/41879
You can't get these in white (which is what I did, I'ma paint them. Foreigners, you want MINI LEG 6160106/41879. Which is what I got originally.)
Originally I got these in white, but all they have now is black. There's also MINI LEG PART, NO. 2 6486308/37364 which is brown or orange I think. Foreigners, you want: MINI LOWER PART, 1 1/3 6509120/107007MINI LOWER PART, 1 1/36509080/107007
I'm including all the swords when I sell mine, but this sword was the most Cerebus. If you want them all/options, you need to get:MINI SHORT SWORD6093532/18034
MINI SWORD6020190/76764
MINI LONG SWORD6078442/18031
SWORD, NO. 186295400/66964
Now, what AMERICANS CAN NOT GET, but really need is the tail:
MINI TAIL, NO. 16 6469726/79973So, happy building...
(See, the reason you can't get all the colors, or the tail is the exemption on the tariffs for anything under $800 of value was rescinded. So Lego's decision is to not ship anything from overseas. Which leads to the question: how's this gonna affect the next Kickstarter? Well, if Birdsong is running it, and he's in USAland, then would the tariffs apply? I dunno. I guess we'll all find out together when the next one happens...)
AND, for those of you who think that High Society Cerebus is a better Lego than Barbarian Cerebus, you can get:
EPAULETS 6446193/2526
MINI UPPER PART, NO. 68406463580/76382And have a Prime Minister Cerebus:
And, you'll need to get a Spider-Ham head. Lego doesn't sell them as Pick-A-Brick, so you're best bet is to search eBay, Alibaba, or others. They did a Spider-Ham Snowman, so I'd search for that.

Or wait for me to get these painted and announce to the world I'm rewady to part ways with these things after all these years...
Okay: Moment!
Next Time: Cerebus in Hell? the Weekly Strip...
