Hi, Everybody!
First up, the Cerebus in Hell? Auctions continue: Those two are NEW!!!
The Un-Bedable Vark #1. And The Undateable Cerebus #1. So open your checkbooks and bid, Bid, BID!!! (Or not, I don't care what you do. What do I look like, your mother?) So, GOOD NEWS EVERYBODY!
I finally bought a copy of the first Cerebus trade.
"Wait, what?!? How can you even BE the Interim-Editor of A Moment Of Cerebus if you didn't even OWN the First Trade?!? Somebody call Tim! Somebody call Dave!! Somebody think of the children!!!"
Calm down, calm down...
I said I just bought the first volume, not that I didn't own the first volume. Which brings us to:
Cerebus In Matt's Life: Part the Fourth
When last we left Interim-Editor Matt Dow, he had started to buy the monthly Cerebus book. And ordering the Phone Books through his local comic book store (Powerhouse Comics had begat The Mystic Cellar had begat Ann's Mystic Cellar had begat My Parent's Basement. (Basically the store kept changing names, owners, and locations.)) And when Matt went in to empty his file (and pay the store's rent. Seriously. This was back in my "more-money-than-brains" days...), there was the copy of... (I wanna say Guys, but it could have been Rick's Story, anyway, ) there were THREE phone books in Matt's file: (whichever one I had ordered), Cerebus, and Flight. And a note from the former owner of the shop (and current store manager) Ann saying that if I was getting into Cerebus, I could have these phone books.
And the copy of Flight was a signed and numbered first printing!

| Thanks Ann! Which was pretty sweet!
And then, in the May, 2001 issue was an ad (on the inside front and back covers,) for A SIGNING WITH DAVE AND GER!!

CHICAGO?!? That was only a three hour drive from Matt's house!
He HAD to go. So he took a vacation day from work. Got in his car. And drove to Sweet Home Chicago.
After finding a parking spot (it's a long involved tale involving the decided LACK of an East Madison Street, and driving in literal circles for thirty minutes, finally parking, going into a bank and talking to a security guard who explained how Chicago worked...) Matt entered 69 East Madison Street and met Dave Sim (and Gerhard)...
This is where a picture would be if I had one, alas, I do not.
Matt waited in line, and got up to Dave and Ger, and proceeded to ask: The. Dumbest. Question. Ever.
"How come when Cerebus tried to leave the Bar after Rick left, he didn't think to grab his sword?"
Ug...
Total boner of a question, or what?
Dave looked at Matt like he was...I don't even know what...
And grabbed a copy of Reads, and flipped to when the sword fell out of the story:

See, Matt had gotten this image:

| From Reads (and CerebusDownloads.com) |

| From Rick's Story, and CerebusDownloads.com |
Even Gerhard was giving Matt the stink eye over that one...
Matt did get a Cerebus head sketch with a Gerhard background, so that was nice...
Next Time: Guys. Matt lives Guys. It. Was. Epic.
