Since Jen is behind the Red Curtain, glamourpuss #25

Hi, Everybody!

Jen's "oot" (as the Canadians say), so I'm back filling in... Big Board!:

No changes!

• 134 pages released so far as mocked up and/or drawn by Dave Sim through 7 March 2022
• $21,825.00 raised to date from 414 donations
• $175 away from unlocking page 135.
• If you have not donated, a $5+ donation gets you access to all 134 pages and all future unlocked pages. Donate once or set up monthly donations here https://www.gofundme.com/f/sdoar-2023
• If you have donated, why not donate again! All money goes to Dave Sim to continue his work on The Strange Death of Alex Raymond.

Since Jen is on vacation, I'ma have to do this "solo", which means I'ma have to find something around the AMOCave to throw to "the wolves" to get more money for the GoFundMe. So I'm offering up:

An UNREADABLE copy of glamourpuss #10!

A 9.8 SLABBED gp #10. Which, according to the CGC Census is the ONLY copy they've slabbed. So it's the HIGHEST graded copy they've dealt with (also: the lowest...).

 
AND, I'll include cheap-o printouts of the interior so you CAN read the issue while you stare at your prized collectable...

RULES (gotta have RULES...otherwise it's all Anarchy, and people doing Bossa Nova and the Hokey Pokey and other signs of the Apocalypse...):

1. $5 per entry. The only money that counts is money donated to the GoFundMe SINCE July 1st, 2026. All that money you've been throwing at Dave via Jen for the past how long won't help you here...
2. No limit on the number of entries you can have. As long as you remember it's only NEW money that counts. While Dave (and Jen) deeply appreciate all the money you've donated over the years (I don't give an aardvark's taint sweat...), it's just money that comes in NOW that gets you unreadable glamourpuss...
3. Raffle ends on Labor Day (that's September 7th 2026 for the "calendar challenged"). That gives Everybody! time to donate, and Jen and I time to determine who wins.
4. International winners might be asked to kick in for shipping (it cost me $43 to ship a VIEWMASTER Reel to Canada... the USPS ain't what it used to be...)
5. Bonus entries will be made available to the winners of the swimsuit/private interview/talent/health & fitness/evening gown/& on-stage conversation categories. So choose your outfits and performances wisely...
6. Having read the minutes for the Graft: Boon or Blessing Panel, bribery will NOT be tolerated if it messes up my taxes...
7. "And remember, your answers must be in the form of a question..."
8. Margaret, if you win, this counts as both PTO AND year end bonus...
9. Good luck! (How and Why this is a Rule is a mystery to Everybody!...)

 This, then:

Okay, see ya Friday!

Since Jen is "제정신이 아닌, 엉뚱한", glamourpuss #24 (I counted!)

SDOAR GoFundMe: Jen, Making Progress! Manly Matt, What a Guy!

Progress! Look at Jen make progress!!!

• Ian Kirson's Silverspoon page - MAILED on Friday is en route to Florida, by way of Colorado?!? Don't ask me, it's USPS.
• John Mosher's Silverspoon page - PACKAGED and should be mailed on Wednesday now that the rains in NYC have come to an end. Please note that living on the Lower East Side of Manhattan means Jen has to walk to the Post Office. Uphill. Both ways! And refer to herself in the third person.
• Chris Hill's Silverspoon page - PACKAGED. Ditto.
• John Vera's Silverspoon Page - PACKAGED. Ditto.
• The final raffle winner was none other than our very own Manly Matt Dow who has decided to allow someone else to take home the final Silverspoon page!
• All together, now!

• That final Silverspoon strip, is literally the oversized, The Buyer's Guide for Comic Fandom yellowing newsprint page below:

• What to do? What to do, indeed! 
• I could select a name from the remaining 13 folks who previously donated or ...
• ... open up donation for another week and and select from the previous folks and the new donors, especially since there have been zero donation for the past two weeks!
• Thoughts? Anyone? Bueller?

• The second raffle winner has been emailed and once I hear back with which page, I will continue onto raffle winner no. 3, no. 4 and no. 5. 
• Reminder that the available Silverspoon strips, literally from the pages of The Buyer's Guide for Comic Fandom are:

Next up:
