Yo peeps! Head on over to http://forum.cerebuscon.com/ and check out the discussion. Anyone want to be responsible for making T-shirts and stickers, or getting in touch with other comics professionals? Anyone have anything to say about Cerebus at a conference? Let us know!

Comics Review looks at Puma Blues calling Dave Sim "the Moses of Independent creators"  who "trail-blazed the entire phenomenon for the rest of us. Passionately, stridently non-“mainstream”, he soldiered on"

Menachem Luchins, comic store owner of Escape Pod Comics:
Just an FYI, if you guys aren't reading Hereville by Barry Deutsch you're missing out on a lot of classic Sim-inspired paneling and lettering. I mean, you're also missing out on a great series, the third volume of which I just finished reading in it's final form. I noticed at least 4 Sim "lifts" that Barry pulled off so amazingly! It's a great book and a wonderful series. If your shop doesn't carry it, I can provide, though we are low on stock.

CEREBUS: THE ZELIG PAGES
Jimmy Gownley (creator of NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING graphic novel "AMELIA RULES!" through Scholastic Books) will take a favorite sequence from CEREBUS (getting Sean to e-mail him the restored/and or original art scans for that sequence) and then draw his character into the sequence and do that as a series of digital prints at the forthcoming Cerebus GoFundMe site.
Plan is to have other professional comic artists do likewise.
