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!
