Not the way I would have done the Promo for The Amicable Spider-Vark:

Spider-Vark,
Spider-Vark,
What's he do in the dark?
Hey look, he's got eight hands,
That's two more than issue 101 Spider-man,
Look out,
Here comes the Spider-Vark!
Is he smooth?
Listen dude,
Chicks get wet for his attitude,
Can he make your lady moan?
He never leaves the bar alone,
Hey, there!
There goes the Spider-Vark!
In the chill of night,
At your girlfriend's place,
It sure ain't right,
That look on her face,
Spider-Vark,
Spider-Vark,
Totally Amicable Spider-Vark,
Wealth and fame,
He's got lots,
Gives your girlfriend the major "hots,"
To him, life's a great gang-bang,
Wherever the hot chicks hang,
You'll find the Spider-Vark!

But hey, that's just me.

(Dunno if you can still order Blue State Red State Cerebus or None of the Above, check with your LCS.)

The Strange Death of Alex Raymond Fundraising Edition, if you'd like to get a copy of the book a year(? or more?) before it goes to press AND at the same time, fund Dave's California sales trip (rescheduled for whenever California opens for business), mail a check for fifty dollars American to :

AARDVARK-VANAHEIM Inc.
Box 1674 Stn. C
Kitchener ON N2G 4R2 CANADA

Or, go to cerebusdownloads.com (where you can still get "The Best Deal in Comics" all 16 volumes for $99 Canadian!) and click the one time donation button (there are three of them $1 $5 $10, click any of them, and adjust the quantity to $75 (or $80 if you're using the $10 one,) (the price is higher because cerebusdownloads.com uses Canadian monies...) Then send an email to eddiesdoar@gmail.com to let him know how you want your name spelled. This ends on SUNDAY!!!

The Kickstarter for the Remastered Cerebus #1 (which is already funded, at this point more money means more extras.) Campaign ends on Tuesday. The most recent update:

Greetings backers!
We want to start off by expressing our deepest, heartfelt gratitude, as today we hit 450 backers! When we launched this campaign we had no idea what to expect, but whatever our expectations, we didn't predict such overwhelming, positive support for our Cerebus No. 1 project! Thank you thank you!
We are a little under 5 days from the end of this campaign and wanted to let you know that on our last day, next Tuesday, June 2nd, we will update Dave every hour for the final 8 hour stretch which is Noon to 8pm EST. Our updates to him will include, the status of the campaign, and any comments or suggestions from any of you in the comments section of the main page. Dave will respond hourly to our updates which we will also post in the comments section. With Cerebus No. 1, 1977 on everyone's minds, it's a good time to shake out any thoughts or comments you all have about the early days of Cerebus, We cannot guarantee that Dave will respond to every single comment, suggestion or question, but we do guarantee that he will read them all, and respond to as much as he can.
We are working hard behind the scenes getting all the books, cards and extra's ready for production, some of which goes into production as early as tomorrow! Future updates will include photos as the finished goods arrive, ready to go out to all of you!
Thanks again and have a good night/day... wherever you may be!

Dave and Ger art for sale. This ends on Tuesday too.

And The Coronavirus Trilogy: CRISIS IN INFINITE QUARANTINE, BATVARK: CORONAVIRUS, SUPER CEREBUS VS COVID-19, and the fourth part from Free ComicBook Day: The League of Extraordinary Corona. And the Daily Cerebus in Hell? strips. Which have been written and assembled for you at no cost, so if you wanna maybe buy some High Society Red State buttons, or Blue State buttons that'd be great. Supplies are limited, when they're gone they're gone. And, word 'round the campfire is that Diamond is opening and shipping around May 20th, either way, Green Dante/Green Virgil is the next Cerebus in Hell issue to ship. And as the video told you, the new one is The Amicable Spider-Vark.

Next Time: Aardvark Comment and Adam Beechen. And Dave drops some BOMBS in this one. Like "the phonebook I was GONNA do after Church & State instead of Jaka's Story" level bombs. Good thing Dave's calling me on Thursday so I can be gobsmacked...

Spider auction (Dave's Weekly Update #299)

Hi, Everybody!

Heeeeeere's

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

Wanna see what you'll get?

Yeah?

Well, tough, Dave sent me high quality scans of low quality art. If I post it, you could just MAKE your own for free.

BUT, I'm ADDING to the Auction.

I'm throwing in this image:

All detailed and "purdy" and Signed by "Manly" Matt Dow and printed on 110# paper. (Maybe I'll send it to Dave to have HIM sign it too.)

It'll look better than:

Ya see what I mean? 

Okay, more previews:

(I think all of Spider-Whore #1 is in here... "It's good to be the King.")

Heck, since I'm in such a good mood, I'll even throw in an original drawing of Spider-Iguana:

NOT ACTUALLY THE ART YOU'LL WIN!!!!!

Winning bidder will get a drawing of Spider-Iguana parodying the cover to a Spider-Man comic of their choice.

Let's start this insanity off at ten bucks US... (Sound off in the comments if you want in.)
UPDATE: Byron Dunbar has already bid $100 over on youtube, so that's where the bidding stands.- "Manly"
