Cerebus Archive Number 17 Portfolio: YOUR First Look

Hi, Everybody!

Dave asked me to post:
__________________
Next month is the fifteenth anniversary of Tim founding A Moment of Cerebus, preceded by the ninth anniversary of my beginning to ruin the place.

Which means it's time for an "AMOC Birthday Contest"!

Break out the crayons, and draw a birthday card for AMOC, and email it to momentofcerebus@gmail.com by November seventh.

I'll take a look at all the entries, and pick a winner for a fabulous prize pack from the ol' AMOC Prize Box. (Depending on the number of entries, there may be a first runner-up, second runner-up, and Miss Congeniality.)

Use whatever artistic tools or media you want, all I ask is NO AI. It's beneath you.

So, as part of Cerebus@50, Dave is looking for volunteers to act as "local" distributors of Aardvark-Vanaheim products to their Local Comicbook Stores (if I'm understanding him correctly...), to wit he proposed to Michael R. of Easton Pennsylvania that Mike be the first and "do" runs to stores in eastern PA/NYC/&NJ. Mike said no. And so, Dave Fisher (he who runs the Cerebus YouTube channel) has stepped up to do the gig in Toronto Canada.
Seen here: Dave and Dave and a hoodie NOT from The AMOC TeePublic Shoppee...
This and the pile to Dave's right are print-on-demand merch for Cerebus@50.

At this point, I'm required to say that if you've been following the Cerebus@50 campaign, and think you'd like to get in on the...let's say, "fun", and become a volunteer and coordinate with a local printer and LCSs as far as you're willing to travel, feel free to contact momentofcerebus@gmail.com (thas me), and I'll pass your info on to Rolly, Dave, and Fisher, (and probably Eddie) and they'll get you into the planning. I mean, I'M NOT interested in "multiplying my sorrows" by joining up (I already have enough to do just keeping the creaky ship that is AMOC running without volunteering MORE...), but:
So, if it sounds like fun, lemme know you're interested, and we'll throw your name on the list, and you'll become:

Anyway, so the plan is that after CANs 15 & 16 next year, by next December, when Cerebus turns 50, Cerebus Archive Number Seventeen will be "eye candy" pages, instead of the second set of ten earliest pages from each phonebook still in the Cerebus Archive (which is what the first round of CANs are: the ten earliest pages from each phonebook still in the Cerebus Archive.).

Wanna see what CAN17 will be?

'course you do. You come here. You also wanna know when EXACTLY CANs 15 and 16 will be launching (that I don't know. CAN14 JUST finished, and fifteen of you NEED to fill out your surveys so I can get ma shit. Maybe if you get on that, I'll be able to find out when CAN15 and CAN16 are launching (not until 2027 for sure...).)

Well pal, you're in luck, because Dave had the prototype of the sticker for CAN17 sent to me, and I'm a really good detective and figured out what Dave's putting in there:

Because I get big scans that I format for posting, I saw what ten pages Dave's planning on using:
Cerebus #196, page 4

Cerebus #196, page 6

Cerebus #196, page 7

Cerebus #196, page 8

Cerebus #196, page 9

Cerebus #196, page 10

Cerebus #196, page 11

Cerebus #196, page 13

Cerebus #196, page 14

Cerebus #196, page 19

When is this coming? I don't think before December 2027, since CANs 15 and 16 still have to come out. But if not 2027, then real early in 2028.

Next Time: Oh joy! Dave sent Audio files...

From the A/V Family Photo Album: Labor Day Weekend 1996 AND Some Cerebus History!

Hi, Everybody!

So in this month's Please Hold For Dave Sim (see yesterday) ((scroll down)) (((keep going until you see me say "Hi, Everybody!" again...))) Dodger brought up Susan Alston's Dave Sim's Last Girlfriend book (which as far as I can see has never actually been published...). You know it:

Classy...

Well that's the one version of the cover, there's another one:

That photo looked familiar, so I ran through the A/V Family Photo Album:














That's not it...

There it is!

But, hey! There's more:




Far be it from me to argue with Granpaw, but this photo is dated THE SAME DAY as the two above. I don't think this is what Dave thinks it is...

And this one is the day BEFORE the last one...



So, there ya go. "Cerebus" history. (Okay, okay. FINE! I'll give you some REAL Cerebus History...)

See?

Click for bigger.

Okay, more "Moments" than you can shake a baby at.

Youse welcome...
