The Faux will be with you...always!

Hi, Everybody!

Dave sent in (captions by Rolly):

Dave signed some comics for April C.

This got me to get out and mail the things I needed to...

Dave wanted me to take a picture of him with the stack of papers from Please Hold for Dave Sim.  You can add this photo to the Please Hold for Dave Sim stuff.

These are backing boards/large postcards for Alfonso's Spanish Cerebus Kickstarter.

And then Dave got and passed on:

Friend to the Blog, James Bing-Bong-Shama-Lama-Ding-Dong Smith has a new Papa Balloon and Cactus Comic on the Kickstarter. Three days to go, and he needs $161 to make it. He's got bundles of all the issues he's made so far, so if you're new to Papa Balloon & Cactus, you can get all caught up for fifty bucks. Dave recommends it:

Highly!

Please Hold For Dave Sim 7/2025 II: The Revenge!

Hi, Everybody!

Ha. Ha. Ha. And I thought I was done editing these things...

Click for bigger...

Okay, since this was all sorts of screwy-kerflooie this month, we (meaning me) are instituting a new Policy going forward: Questions will be assembled into a SINGLE document sent to Dave the Monday the WEEK before the first Thursday of the month. (IE: Monday July 28th for the August Please Hold.) If you decide to skip me and send something to Dave for Please Hold, if it's an image/comic/drawing/whatever, please send a scan to momentofcerebus@gmail.com so I have the thing when it's time to make all the damn videos. Since I'm posting the transcripts, maybe check there and see if Dave has already answered whatever  question you have. (And if it's a follow-up, or request for clarafication, mentioning which transcript it is/where in there it is, that'd make my life a tad easier.) Still THREE (3) questions per asker, Podcasters get right to first "publication", and  I'll tag you on the YouTube if you include you're handle from over there. 

Okay, Please Hold 7/2025 II: The Revenge!

Audio:

Video:

Part 13: Al Nickerson checks in:

Part 14: John Rovnak has found the rarest of rarities:

Part 15: Michael R. asks about the Ninja High School crossover:

Part 16: And Dave finishes out with Jesse Herndon's questions, Christon's questions, and maybe somebody else's:

Problems viewing this video? Watch directly on YouTube...

Well, Dave thinks of this as the August Please Hold, and thecocksuckerswhoRUINEDanchor... I mean Spotify, won't let me number this one 7.5, so it's technically episode 8 of 2025, so I've decided any and all August questions are being kicked to the September Please Hold.

Rigamarole:

TwoMorrows has a new book on Marshall Rogers. Does it include the Name of the Game is Diamondback? Do they talk to Deni? I dunno. You might if you buy a copy...

Our very own Jen DiGiacomo is part of a film production titled The Day Elvis Died. She'll never ask anybody here, but they're crowdfunding to finish the post production on the movie. (It's set in 1977, will a certain obscure Canadian cartoon aardvark make a cameo? (No. Elvis died in August. Cerebus wasn't published until December. Any appearance in the flick would be an anachronism that would ruin the movie for everybody. EVERYBODY!).) Here's the first trailer. And if you're going to Edinburgh Fringe, Jen's doing her One Woman show Woman in the Arena, pretty much all month. If you go, "swordfish". And send pics...

TMNT 8(zombie cerebus cover)

Obviously I'm not listing the Cerebus Jam April wants, and there's a bunch of Waverly Spawn #10 books in the OTHER AMOC Prize Box (along with postcards and stickers and whatnots. NO. I'm not going thru that one right now. I'm supposed to be in the Please Hold Editing Suite working on the many many videos and Audio. But, currently I'm downloading the CBZ files from the High Society Audio Visual Edition so I can get the jpgs so I have the covers to issues 26-29 for Dave's answer to Steve Peters question. (It's NOT procrastination if you can find a good excuse Margaret...).)

ANYWAY, I'm MORE than willing to trade any of this for Neat Stuff, but since mailing things is my Kryptonite, you're more likely to get me to do something by offering to trade any of this for money. The more you pay, the faster I get to the post office...

If you NEED/WANT anything from the Waverly Press/Aardvark-Vanaheim offerings, I guess you can ask and I'll go dig through the effin' box...

Email momentofcerebus@gmail.com if you're interested...

Next Time: Dave sent NOT audio, so I should probably run that...

Off-White House Bulletin 5/31/2025

Hi, Everybody!

Dave's phone is STILL all screwy-kerflooie, and he can't Fax. He CAN get messages off the Off-White House answering machine/voicemail, so (519) 576-0610  if you need to let Dave know anything. (Rolly is passing the messages along, so be brief and succinct.)

So, Official Off-White House Bulletin time: 

Problems viewing this video? Watch directly on YouTube...

I sent Dave the questions/comments I had for the June Please Hold For Dave Sim, in case we were doing it, and Dave sent back recordings of him answering the first few ones (I expect more before next week,)  so if you subscribe to my YouTube channel, you might see them early.

And Rolly said when he sent me the files:

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the T-shirt!! Also the scans that are of the tracing paper are items that will be for sale on the CAN12 Kickstarter.

Later,
Rolly

So you can presumably buy all these(?) (click for the bigger):

This is on  a stay flat.

And here's further progress on Dave's variant Cover (again with the clicking for the biggerness):

And your guess is as good as mine:

There's presumably 16 of these things, whatever they are...

Hey Dave SAID he was doing 50 prints of Debbie:

And this:

(I mean, I know who that is, and I sorta know what he's holding, but I've no idea why...)

You can get that on a t-shirt...

Okay. "Moment"

Next Time: Stuff.

SPOILERS! Dave shares a Ninja High School/Cerebus crossover Art! Don't look unless you wanna see it!

Hi, Everybody!

Dave checks in:

Okay, *SPOILERS!*

Looks like this is gonna be an interesting one...
