Dave's drawing EIGHT more "Cerebus in Flames" Sketchbook covers:

And "auctioning" them off through AMOC.

Cerebus in Hell?:

Coronavirus Book!

Swords of Cerebus in Hell?: Volume 9

VARK-tober!:

It's after nine PM and I gotta work tomorrow. The closest I'm gonna get to the Flame Jewel is this:

But I gotta REAL good feeling about Saturday!

Next Time: Not me, so I don't really give a @#%&!!!!!

The Kickstarter is live. Everybody pledge so I can get that Gerhard art! And pledge for Dave's one too...

Hi, Everybo

IT'S LIVE!

 
Cerebus No 2 Kickstarter

GAH!

Damnit Birdsong!

Yes, yes. The Cerebus #2 Remastered and Expanded Kickstarter is live now.

And I was gonna get to it...

But First:

The Kickstarter is now live!

"Aw Geez. How many covers are there on THIS one?"

Not That Kickstarter, this one:

Greg Hyland's Monster Atlas Volume 2 part 3.

Which, like the other three, will have Gerhard art if Greg can raise the money:

Oooohhh It's DRACULA!

CURRENTLY, he's $1,022.71 (Canadian) from Matt getting that sweet-@$$ Gerhard art. Come on now, don't be a such a Ger-block!

Monster Atlas Volume 2 part 3.

And Dave's Cerebus #2 Remastered and Expanded is currently $12,540 over the Waverly's eight hundred dollar goal. So hurry up and get them to the finish line...

To that guy that asked for it, you can get all the covers as SIGNED 11x17 posters. And they're SIGNED by Dave! (For $95. And they're an add-on, so ya gotta pledge for a $10 copy of the book. Totally worth it. You can see the only MISSING Cerebus story, ANATOLE'S SOLECISM, with ALL NEW hand lettering by Dave over his original layouts (As soon as Dave gets me the forty-three year old contact info for the guy who got the original art, I'll be tracking him down like a bloodhound...), and SALTY NIGHT'S DRINK, a 70s era story Dave did for/with a guy who has a letter in Cerebus #2. (I admit the details are getting a little fuzzy as to who, but I forgot the name that was in the thing I read a few months back. Why not buy a copy and find out who the hell I'm talking about... (Man, this thing practically sells itself...) (It's like a part of an issue of Cerebus Archive that never got made because the series was cancelled before Dave got to Cerebus #1...).).)

Cerebus #2 Remastered and Expanded, because your Cerebus #1 Remastered and Expanded is lonely and needs a friend.

BUY TWO, issue TWO!

Next Time: I swear to @$%&ing G-D, if Hobbs launches the next Swords of Cerebus in Hell? Kickstarter tomorrow, I'ma punch him in the nuts. Right in the @$%&ing nuts...

"On the first day of Christmas my true love got for me..."

Hi, Everybody!

(Here's the part where you forward this to your (non-Cerebus fan) loved ones.)

Hello, loved ones of a Cerebus fan.

It's that time of year where you need to get that adorable weirdo who loves that obscure Canadian comic book a present for Christmas (way to wait until the last minute...)

So, here's a list of things they would LOVE:

First, you could order them The Silver Cerebus, or The Varking Dead (although those won't be out until next year, so you'd have to wrap up the order confirmation.)

Or, if they like the pretty backgrounds, Friend to the Blog, Greg Hyland is running the next volume of The Monster Atlas on Kickstarter. If he gets another six hundred and ninety-one bucks (Canadian, not even REAL money!) it will have Gerhard art! (Everybody loves that!) (The campaign doesn't end for forty-one days, so this is another one where they're getting the Early Bird Package.)

The Vark Wars Shirt:

T-Shirt

Long sleeve T-Shirt

Sweatshirt

And for the ladies: The Ladies T-Shirt

And for you Brits:

Vark Wars Yellow Logo Tee T-Shirt
Vark Wars Yellow Logo Tee Sweatshirt
Vark Wars Yellow Logo Tee Long Sleeve T-Shirt
And for you "Furiners":
Vark Wars gelbes Logo-T-Stück T-Shirt
Vark Wars gelbes Logo-T-Stück Sweatshirt
Vark Wars gelbes Logo-T-Stück Langarmshirt

(All these go away at the end of the year, so BUY NOW!!!)

Avalible for ever (so far...):

US: Approval Is An Authoritarian Construct Tee
UK: Approval Is An Authoritarian Construct Tee

Germany: Oddly Amazon Deutsche didn't approve of a shirt that says "Approval Is An Authoritarian Construct", so order from the Brits...

Then there's the Graphitti Design Merch:

The "He Doesn't Love You" Shirt

"Cerebus For Dictator" Shirt

"Young Cerebus" Pin

"Cerebus the Barbarian" Pin

"Cerebus the Candidate" Pin

"Cerebus the Prime Minster" Pin

"Cerebus the Pope" Pin

(Yeah... none of these will make it by Christmas, either I should have done this post a month ago, or you shouldn't have been such a slacker and waited on me...)

Anyway, more stuff you can't get by Wednesday:

"Official" Bootleg Cerebus "Evening Cuppee" coffee mugs.

The "Official" Bootleg Cerebus "Evening Cuppee" Coffee Mugs. Ten bucks apiece. Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. (I suppose if you e-mail momentofcerebus@gmail.com, I CONCEIVABLY could get them in the mail on Monday and with SUPER EXPENSIVE SHIPPING... they won't show up for Christmas (what do you think this is, a Hallmark Movie?))

A SIGNED* copy of Vark Wars! 

*well, Signed by me, Matt Dow (I did write like half of it (including some of Dave's favorite strips...).) Ten bucks American. E-mail momentofcerebus@gmail.com

Hi, Everybody!

Greg Hyland is Kickstartering the second volume of the Monster Atlas, and if he gets another ninteen hundred and twenty-seven bucks, it'll have Gerhard art like the first volume. It'll look a little something like this:

There's TWO more images, but we don't get to see 'em until they get the 4K...

There's more auctions up at ComicsLink. And yesterday's update has a special AMOC auction. (Go ahead and outbid me, I DARE ya!)

If you're waiting for a Indiegogo live for the Postcard Kickstarter, like the one for the birthday card Kickstarter, I don't know if there will be one.

The remastered Volume 1 is available digitally for $9.99.

And The Jaka's Story remaster won't get a Starcode number until the April previews is out, so hopefully next month.

Here's what happened: an artist in Dubai put my photo from this on a t-shirt

 And then there's:

Tim W. (our revered Editor Emeritus) send in:

Hi Matt,

Photo of Deni below. Might be useful at some point.

Tim

And a bit from Chester Brown's Patreon (ya gotta be 18 to see it.)

I don't know where he encountered it, but Dave Lapp sent me this old photo of Seth from the late 80s:

To judge by the hair, it was taken after I’d first met him but before we’d become friends. That’s Deni Loubert on the left — she would still have been married to Dave Sim at the time. 

You guys remember Seth right:

See? "Seth."

Thanks Tim! Thanks T. Casey!

Highlights from the Kickstarter Q & A (Now with more T & A! (You're welcome!))

Hi, Everybody!

Greg Hyland is Kickstartering the second volume of the Monster Atlas, and if he gets four grand, it'll have Gerhard art like the first volume.

There's more auctions up at ComicsLink.

If you're waiting for a Indiegogo live for the Postcard Kickstarter, like the one for the birthday card Kickstarter, I don't know if there will be one.

Hopefully I'll be discussing the remastered Volume 1, which is available digitally for $9.99, eventually.

And The Jaka's Story remaster won't get a Starcode number until the April previews is out, so hopefully next month.

The new KICKSTARTER ends tomorrow.

Speaking of which:
This happened:

That phone is so 1990s

Highlights:

Hi Dave!
I'm leaving soon for the evening so I'll read your responses when I get home tonight. Here goes my questions.
1-Are you planning on any more sneaky visits to comic conventions like you just did in Kitchener? Maybe USA?
PS - Grace R wants to know if you'll come to visit Easton, Pennsylvania?
2- Did you enjoy or miss any part of being in the comic book community for the afternoon?
3- We've seen the updates on the SDOAR, how come no updates on "You Don't Know Jack" comic? Wasn't that coming out first?
4- We've seen the prototype of what the SDOAR book will look like, will there be any chance any edition be hard cover?
5- We got the birthday card Kickstarter and the postcard Kickstarter, are there any possible new Kickerstarters that you're thinking of that hasn't been mentioned yet?
Congratulations on another successful Kickstarter campaign!
Michael R.

And Dave said:

Hi Michael!
1) Actually, I just walked through the convention on the way to buy my Saturday raisins. Zero chance of anyone in Kitchener recognizing me. A transgendered convention volunteer (or a guy in a female fantasy costume) did and had no idea about the autographed comics. So I signed them for him/her, her/him. Him/her, her/him was pretty happy. So"going with" the completely unlikely vibe I decided to actually walk once around the convention. Someone had maybe 12 Cerebus back issues so I told her I was making a circuit of the convention and if she wanted to unbag them I'd sign them when I got back to the start point. Then a creator named Sam Noir had LOW SOCIETY on his table, so I signed those for him. He gave me some of his comics. After I got my raisins I went to the bus station and signed copies of SIM CITY for Sam Noir and John Brenner. I haven't spoken to either of them because they didn't sign the petition. So, it was like a once in a lifetime this won't happen again kind of thing. Or I might walk through again next year.
Actually that's what I wanted to do when CEREBUS was done: just travel from CEREBUS fan home to CEREBUS fan home with my toothbrush in my jacket pocket staying for a couple of days in each home and then flying on to the next. Instead it's 12 hours a day of work 6 days a week until I fall over and die. Close enough, I guess. Tell Grace I said "Hi" and I hope the cats are all well.
2)Well, it wasn't the afternoon. It was maybe 20 minutes total. Watching my hand sign my name. I've seen it before a couple of times. :)
3) I don't know if ANY of them are coming out. When I have all of them in prototype form I'm taking them to IDW and we'll see what they have to say. I don't even know who I'll be talking to there. YDKJ 1 and 2 are both done and so's the HERMITAGE AWESOMES catalogue. Sean's working on SDOAR Volume Two and I'm trying to come up with a cover idea.
4) An SDOAR hardcover? I don't know. That's an IDW decision. That's why I'm going out there. I have a bunch of ideas from the "hitting every comic store in California" sales trip (which has been mapped out in rough form), to touring the artwork -- and me and Carson -- around the world through Heritage Auctions. I can afford to pay my property taxes, A-V's accountant and bookkeeper and buy myself groceries. Someone else will have to pay for everything. That's what I'll be talking to IDW and Heritage Auctions and, hopefully, Diamond Comic Distributors. 1) Does anyone want to pay for this? and 2) how Large or small do you want to go?
5) At the moment, the plan is to keep doing POSTCARDS FROM HELL and see what needs fixing. It looks as if there are 85 CEREBUS "backer-style" fans left -- 95% of whom have pledged at the end of Day Two -- so I'm inclined to drastically shorten the window and do a four- or five-day Kickstarter and fulfillment and then do the next one. A POSTCARD every two weeks or so. If the 85 backers are solid and $9 every two weeks is in their budgets, then Sean, Benjamin, David and me could be looking at $200 every couple of weeks. Depending on what the "all-in" costs are. I'm still trying to figure out if it's possible to do CEREBUS ARCHIVE NUMBER EIGHT now that the costs on everything are through the roof.

__________________________________________________________________
And then Dave said:

Dave Sim here again - Sorry I was late getting started. It's very difficult to get to Kickstarter USA. It kept sending me to Kickstarter Canada. Also, this is the Camp David laptop which really sticks a lot. Also there was a major drug casualty who sat down next to me, spitting on the ground and saying if anyone tries touching his pants again he's going to stab them to death. Didn't APPEAR to have the cojones for that, but I guess you never know. Would have made an interesting "day before the fourth anniversary of my bowel surgery" hey, remember KNIVES moment. Welcome to Kitchener City Hall and the Land of the Free Needle Exchange. Coming soon: "Safe" Injection Sites!!

Dave continued:

He was a definite Kitchener character. The security guards have come up to the mezzanine level twice now to tell people they aren't allowed to sleep in City Hall. Sprawled out on the bench seating. I don't think they're allowed to tell them to leave. So they have to spend ten minutes telling them they have to sit up and not fall asleep. Which, as soon as they go back downstairs, they proceed to do. The crystal meth guys are the worst, which this guy sounded like he was. You can hear a girl on the lower level talking to her friend about something and crystal meth was talking to her. Not loud enough so she could hear but loud enough so I could hear, really steamed, really disgusted with how cheerful she was and what a phony she was. He subsided before he got up and left. If he had been still talking to her when she got up. I was going to yell over the balustrade, "SECURITY! INCOMING" and then point. I'm sure "Safe" Injection Sites will make everything all better. :)

 _______________________________________________________________
There was Larry Wooten, who asked:

Dave, I am curious about Tarim/Terim in regards as to their origin in Cerebus. I have looked up Tarim on the internet but only get references to the town in Yemen and Cerebus. So, I am wondering if Tarim/Terim are based on some beliefs or myths, or did Tarim just sound like a good name for a deity at the time?
Thank you for the "Grandpa Moment" you sent me.

And Dave's response:

Hi Larry! Oh, you're quite welcome for the "Grandpa Moment" birthday card.
Re: Tarim/Terim
To the best of my recollection, that was part of Michael Loubert's fantasy world backdrop and just a name he came up with off the top of his head. I think the decision to have a female version of Tarim spelled with an "e" was mine when I started developing and laying the groundwork for the matriarchal Cirinists. I remember talking to Michael about Sophia and the whole The Goddess/analogue of God concept, historically. I didn't want to use the names of any historical gods or goddesses. Just seemed like a really bad idea.
Thanks for your decades of support, Larry!! 

_______________________________________________________________
Jesse Lee Herndon asked:

Hi Dave,
Cerebus once said, "If Vanaheim doesn't have beer, Cerebus doesn't want to go". There has not been much, if any, beer in "Cerebus in Hell?" So where does beer go when it goes flat?

Dave came back with:

Jesse Lee Herndon - Hi Jesse! Thanks for the quick turnaround on the "Hold For Dave Sim" transcript.

I concur. Thanks Jesse! Dave continued:

Sandeep did a CIH? strip about the complete ABSENCE of alcohol in Hell(?) and he did one about the compulsion to keep getting drunk. That's one of the things that I love about the strip. There are no fixed premises. David and Benjamin came up with a SILVER SURFER parody cover that I'm working on now where Cerebus is the world's biggest Elon Musk fan and is building the "interplanetary buoyancy space". I had David just flop the image of the Yelling Cerebus so he spends the whole issue yelling. facing left, facing right, facing left. Is Cerebus actually experiencing this? I have no idea. Neither does he. 

Then Superman's Frenemy (and Known Collaborator!), David Birdsong chimed in with:

I have a two page strip that addresses the drinking in hell issue as well. I don't want to give it away just yet, but some drunks will try anything.

And then:

Thanks, David! Looking forward to your JIMMY CORRIGAN issue. I'm going to need sparkly word balloons for the Electrical Grid Fairies in SILVER CEREBUS. Something you and Sean might want to think about. Don't let it make you too crazy. Say Hi to Marie for me!
Dave 

______________________________________________________________
And then there was THIS A--HOLE:

I just thought of my Ultimate Cerebus in Hell? question: Who'd win in a fight Cerebus or Hobbs?
Matt Dow
Senor Edit-Hombre, AMUCK 

To which I got the reply:

Matt Dow - Cerebus! (sorry, Benjamin)
Dave 

And then this image got discussed:

You REALLY don't want to know...

 _____________________________________________________________

Oh it was magical! (Mainly because I could cannibalize it and not have to write a post today...)

Next Time: I discuss NOTHING. Tomorrow's Sunday, so I get a chance to "get ahead". Enjoy the Genesis Question Part Forty-something... Or don't. No skin off my nuts...

SDOAR Updates Part 2: Back Cover Edition (Dave's Weekly Update #278)

Hi, Everybody!

Alright, we got a lot to cover and not much time.

The new KICKSTARTER ends on Sunday.

Tomorrow, Saturday:

Hello everyone! [*couch*rip-off!*cough* -Matt]

Just a quick note to let you know that Dave "Dave Sim" Sim himself will be logging in THIS SATURDAY at 3:30 PM Kitchener time (i.e. 3:30 PM if you're on the eastern coast of the United States or Canada, and 12:30 PM if you're on the West Coast). He'll be posting, commenting, and answering your questions right here on the  "Comments" section of this project! Have a piece of obscure trivia to ask the man? Want to find out how Strange Death of Alex Raymond is coming along? Want to ask him how many pages of comics you'd need to meaningfully communicate an entire baseball game? Dave is here for YOU.

(The first time I talked to Dave on the phone, somewhere around Christmas of 20...10? 11? this was exactly what we talked about. Baseball comics. And it was quite the conversation!)

Anyway, if you're already a backer, all you have to do is log in at the right time and comment away! If you're reading this and you're NOT already a backer...well, the barrier is pretty low, partner! Just pony up a buck or two and you're in!

See you all Saturday,

Sean

Below: Dave surprises Sam Noir, writer of Sunny and Owl Girl, at a Kitchener comics festival earlier this month!

Yesterday, Thursday, David Birdsong (known collaborator) posted:

You Have 48 Hours to Change an Aardvark's Attitude...

Which references this. 

Greg Hyland is Kickstartering the second volume of the Monster Atlas, and if he gets another twenty-four hundred bucks, it'll have Gerhard art like the first volume.

There's more auctions up at ComicsLink.

If you're waiting for a Indiegogo live for the Postcard Kickstarter, like the one for the birthday card Kickstarter, I don't know if there will be one.

Hopefully I'll be discussing the remastered Volume 1, which is available digitally for $9.99, tomorrow.

And The Jaka's Story remaster won't get a Starcode number until the April previews is out, so hopefully next month.

Okay, that should be it. Join me tomorrow where I'll hopefully be discussing "The Palnu Trilogy"

Next Time: Goin' down to Palnu, gonna have my self a time,
Friendly Faces everywhere, humble folks without temptation,
Goin' down to Palnu, gonna leave my woes behind,
Ample Parking day or night, people spouting "Howdy Neighbor!"
Heading up to Palnu, gonna see if I can't unwind,
Mmm mmmm mmmmm mmmm mmm mmm mmmmmmm, Mmm mmmm mmmmm mmmm mmm mmmmmmm,
Come on down to Palnu, n' meet some friends on mine.

Man, I feel like I forgot something...

Ah yeah, right!!!

Heeeeeere's Dave:

New Gerhard art? and The ol' AMOC Mailbag

Hi, Everybody!

There's a Indiegogo live if you missed the Kickstarter for the birthday card. (You guys all know this, I mention it all the time.)

The remastered Volume 1, digitally for $9.99. Which I'll be discussing more soon. (No, seriously...)

And:

The new KICKSTARTER. Where things continue to be odd:

More Behind The Scenes Stuff...

Posted by David Birdsong (Assistant Aardvark Fluffer) [Oh, it's true, it's true -Matt]

DVS:  Wow, we're in the single digits now.  With just over a week to go how does everyone feel about how this one is going?

SMR:  I'm grateful to all the supporters for any help they can provide.

DB:  There are about thirty people that are following the campaign, but haven't committed yet so we could see a surge near the end.  I think we'll all be getting that extra can of cat food next month and for that I am very grateful to all the Cerebus In Hell? fans.

BH:  YOU JUST WAIT!  THOSE BRICKS WILL START FLYING OUT OF HERE ANY DAY NOW!

Cerebus:  You idiots haven't even cleared two grand!  Ha!  Your stupid CEREBUS TORTURE COMIC will be cancelled any day now!

DVS:  You do realize what will happen if you're right?

Cerebus:  What?  You mean you guys won't get to make Cerebus' life miserable all the time?  Ha!  Where does Cerebus sign up for that?!?  Huh?!?  WHEN YOU FAIL CEREBUS WILL FINALLY BE FREE!!!

DVS:  Actually at point you enter a limbo that no one can predict, utterly alone, in a void that is less than nothing.  I imagine it's a loneliness that is quite horrifying, as unique as it is indescribable and even though you might deserve it I would hate for it to happen to you.

Cerebus:  Uhhh... Wait, uhhh...  Cerebus was joking of course.  Cerebus loves all the fans!  Surely they won't send Cerebus into Limbo?  Right?  RIGHT???

DB:  Put the Daredevil costume on, we need to get the measurements right.

BH:  The Harley Quinn makeup is almost ready too.

SMR:  I want to see him in the LOVE SCENE with the WHORE of BABYLON.

Cerebus:  Cerebus would kill all of you slowly if he could.

DVS:  He's been saying that about me for years, guys.  I wouldn't worry too much about it.

DB:  Ha ha! Yeah!  Put the Spider-Man mask on so we can attach all the extra arms!

BH:  Hold still, it won't hurt much.

SMR:  There, there, let me get you to FULL resolution.  Just a bit more...

Cerebus:  NOOOOOOooooooooooooooo ...

Thanks to everyone!  We're in the home stretch now.  And don't worry too much about the little grey guy.  He's actually a good sport once you force him to be.

___________________________________________________________________________

Okay, does everybody remember Greg Hyland and The Monster Atlas? The Kickstartered book that had images from Gerhard? Like this one:

Yeah, that's a Wendigo...

Well, Greg's back with Volume two! And if they hit $4000 it'll have more Gerhard art. I'm backing it, so should you. (Unless you're a filthy Hsiffe!!!) (Ah, fug it, even if you're a filthy Hsiffe.)

Ogopogo. You'd know what that is, if you had volume one. Like I do.

____________________________________________________________________________

So the Ol' AMOC Mailbag received this from "damaged justice":

The persnickety, persistent peanut gallery 

Is "Damian T. Lloyd, Esq."'s sole *raison d'être* to hang around on the MoC blog and being a complete cunt? Because as far as I can tell, he contributes nothing of positive value, and the vast majority of his comments are passive-aggressive snarking about Dave's religious commentary, followed by a few petty jabs at political or cultural stances which Dave may or may not hold. It's frankly tiresome, and MoC is quite degraded by it. -dj

Sasquatch. Friend to Steve Austin, the Six Million Dollar Man...

I'm assuming Mr(?) "Justice" is referring to the forty-third "Genesis Question" post where the... (let's go with:) "esteemed" Mr. Lloyd is involved in a flame war with Jeff Seiler over... honestly, I don't even know. I get a message about the post, but I've kinda tuned out. 

And this is the Jersey Devil. The #1 reason I won't go to Jersey. Ya know, other than Jersey is in New Jersey...

So why am I bringing it up here, all publicly like? 

Mothman. I hope he got Richard Gere...

Mainly, because Mr(?) "Justice" isn't the first person to say something to me about the (let's go with:) "anus-weasel," Mr. Lloyd. I've been contacted by a couple of people who seriously question why Mr. Lloyd frequents this blog and generally trolls the place up.

Aztec Mummy. Look, I just post the images, I don't question what they are...

I mean, he ain't got nothing nice or productive to say about Dave or Cerebus. (Here's where he stops by in the comments to post some backhanded "compliment" about Cerebus or some such, as "proof" that I'm wrong. So, allow me to preemptively say, "BULLSHIT!!!!!!" )

In The Monster Squad, they call him Gillman...

He constantly issues "challenges" where he asks people to say five things proving him wrong (and "helpfully" gives two examples which he then claims any other examples provided are derivatives of,).

"They're coming to get you Barbara. There's one of them now!"

Or, claims that someone has "moved the goalposts" when they respond to him. 

Basically, he's a complete dick.

The cool part for me, is that he's not the first Complete Dick in Cerebus Fandom. (The shite part is that he won't be the last...)

It's been suggested that I moderate the hell out of the comments section.

Yeah, I'm not gonna do that.

My "policy" is that Nothing is Forbidden, Everything is Permitted. It's the policy I feel best fits a Cerebus Forum. 

That being said, if push comes to shove, I will readily change my policy.

Basically:

You ALL are on notice. This place MAY be the Wild Wild West, but I AM the Sheriff round these parts. And if you test me, you will lose.

Next Time: Deputy Hobbs' Fun Time round-up...From Hell!

Next Time: Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Benjamin Hobbs stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished... He woke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Cerebus, an obnoxious aardvark from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Ben can see and hear. And so Benjamin Hobbs finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home.
