    Please Hold For Dave Sim 2/2025

    Cerebus creator and Aardvark-Vanaheim President Dave Sim, and A Moment of Cerebus Interim Editor Manly Matt Dow are back with the SECOND P.H.F.D.S. (that's Please Hold For Dave Sim for the acronym deficient amongst you...) of 2025! How's everybody holding up? Great. I don't care. Anywho, this month Dave and Manly have a lively and fun discussion of: Manly remembers Cerebus fan Jeff Seiler in a story that touches on Dave's latest Kickstarter, and paying royalties to eight guys when the profits aren't that big to begin with. Dave's thoughts/feelings about what is happening in Gaza. Dave's thoughts on how current creators can overcome the problem of distribution as the industry contracts, and how Diamond's Bankruptcy will effect AV. Then we got our first Podcaster, since Dave instituted his Podcaster Policy, April C. AKA: @creative_fey, host of the Off the Spinner Rack Podcast, who got an exclusive (which means I didn't slot the audio in, you can see it on her channel) from Dave, which can be viewed here. MJ Sewall, proprietor of Alfie's Fish & Chips (stop in and tell your server you heard of Alfie's on Please Hold For Dave Sim for COMPLEMENTARY water, and a hug...), asks Dave "Where did your love of black and white art begin? " Does Dave just randomly reread Cerebus? The backstory on Cerebus being on the cover of Mile High Comics catalog in 1982. Dave answers: "How would Dave rank each phonebook in terms of his personal enjoyment/satisfaction?" And "How would Dave rank each phonebook in terms with sales". Will there ever be a remastered Cerebus issue 3? Dave's ideas for the Cerebus Archive Portfolios after the first sixteen are done. (We're on number 11 for those playing along at home...) How Dave and Gerhard split their original art between themselves when Ger left AV. How Cerebus Fan Jeff Seiler's untimely death led to a page of original art from the end of Church & State being lost to the wild. Dave's thoughts on Josh Even's custom 3D printed Cerebus action figure. And is Dave doing commissions? Fernando H. Ramirez did a twelve page Cerebus story. Dave remembers the SPIRITS OF INDEPENDENCE tour stop in Austin, TX, and how he would try and help young upcomers like he was helped by a 1978 signing with John Byrne. All this and Bernie Wrightson too!

    Please Hold For Dave Sim 1/2025

    The Year? 2025. Which is when Stephen King’s novel The Running Man (published as written by Richard Bachman.) is set. People aren’t currently being hunted for television, but we’re only three days into this crapfest, so “there’s still time”? This time out, Dave Sim and A Moment of Cerebus's Manly Matt Dow discuss: Dave remembers Cerebus fan Jeff Seiler which leads to Dave announcing Aardvark-Vanaheim's plans for 2025, first up (if Donald Trump doesn't crap all over Canada,) CAN11 and Narutobus on the Kickstarter! Did You Know?: Dave was in discussions to license/sell Cerebus to DC Comics in 1985. Dave reads the thirty-nine year old proposal (spoilers: he turned down $100,000. Then he self-distributed the collected High Society and made $150,000 a year later.) Now it CAN be told! DAVE screwed up your bookshelf... Cerebus continuity Matt's Steamboat Willie/Blade Runner mash-up (prints are coming soon?) Neal Adams and Creator's Rights 2025 Dave's thoughts on Deni Loubert and Cerebus in 1977 What does a normal day look like for Dave Sim? Why an Aardvark? Does Dave celebrate New Year's? Anniversary tours? A Cerebus bi-monthly spin-off book by other creators? Dave's thoughts on modern day Canadian life. The location and condition of Dave's Albatross notebooks (used in the creation of Cerebus from issues 20 through 300) (Trigger Warning for Margaret: it...it's not good...not good...) Who was Dave's model for F. Stop Kennedy in Going Home? (spoilers: it was F. Scott Fitzgerald.) Hoo-boy it's two hours fifty-six minutes of distraction from the fact that their gonna hunt you down for May sweeps!

    Please Hold For Dave Sim 12/2024

    Dave Sim and A Moment of Cerebus' Manly Matt Dow return for the last Please Hold For Dave Sim of 2024. This time out: Matt remembers Cerebus Fan Jeff Seiler Dave sets some Policy (this goes on for quite a bit.) Dave and Matt discuss the Cerebus Facebook Group Dave would like his Humble Bundle money A surprise for a lucky Cerebus fan, and maybe a remastered Guys for the rest of us. Why didn't Dave learn to drive? Where's the third printing of The Last Day The Friesens Remastered Edition Cerebus volume #1 What was the highest print run of an issue of Cerebus? Does Dave ever get burnt out? (Matt does. Every damn month when it's time to deal with this stupid website...) Praise for Cancel America Inking Jack Kirby (well, kinda) It's two hours and ten minutes of your life you'll never get back, but heck, you weren't doing anything anyway... What? Don't give me that look. Search your feelings, you know it to be true...
