Back into it. The Ol' AMOC Mailbag and MORE!
Hi, Everybody!
First, a matter of POLICY: If you sent me something, and you DON'T want me to use your full name, please let me know. Or else I'm just gonna run it with your full name and apologize later.
Anyways, cleaning up the ol' AMOC mailbag at momentofcerebus@gmail.com :
AMOC's newest friend Steven Swenson, sent in a number of things:
Original art by Gerhard, although not Cerebus related otherwise.It's the original art to Ger's Harry Potter print.
And:
FYI the original cover art for Low Society is up for auction on ComicLink It sold. My bad.And and:
Now here's something you don't see every day:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Mid-Ohio-Con-Jacket- Cerberus-the-Advark-Graphic- Mens-Medium/113234059421?hash= item1a5d46a09d:g: 2iQAAOSwuvVbj6HN
if it were a large or XL, I'd buy it
well, maybeDamn it sucks being fat. It'd probably fit Dave though...
Got a request:
Hi there, I was wondering if you might see your way clear to putting something in the sidebar that has a list of the one-shots that are already out, and the ones that are coming up for order—I'm finding I have a hard time remembering to order them and which ones to order! And of course I'm not interested in missing one! A one-stop resource might be just the thing. Thanks for reading!
Regards,
CoryWe did this a few days ago, hope people already noticed.
Okay, what else?
I recieved NO e-mails to amoccomments@gmail.com titled: "ComicsGate: Yay!" or "ComicsGate: Nay!"
But the post got a lot of comments! So, I'm just gonna reply here to people's comments from there.
Dominick Grace: Yep.
Memetaphysician: See, this was my problem then, and is my problem now. Ethan Van Sciver is called "every name in the book -- except wattavacall 'whiteman'." and when I ask for concrete evidence showing him deserving the abuse, I just get more name calling. Not blaming you. Just complaining. A link supporting your stance would have been nice.
Erick: Yup, ya got me. NOTHING I do or say will convince you otherwise. I mean, I ASKED for concrete evidence. If you think you got some, help a brudda out. I suspect EVS is not gonna be good for Dave. I faxed that to Dave. I knew when I faxed, that without a smoking gun, Dave would blow it off. I can't say anything to convince him without some sort of proof. Help?
Carson Grubaugh: See, this is almost what I need. If you got actual tweets (ugh.) or videos (double ugh.) proving your claims about EVS, that'd be great. The problem is that ComicsGate is a giant circus tent. While EVS is one of the main tentpoles, he's not the only one. He can always claim, that it's one of the other guys behind whatever nastiness ComicsGate spews forth. I kinda wonder about that. Why doesn't he rebrand his efforts as something else? If he wants to have a conservative comics label, call it something OTHER than ComicsGate and leave the trolls behind...
As to you going all "Daniel in the lion's den", and going on EVS's show, that's your call. But remember: on the map of the comics medium, the part where CoimcsGate resides is labeled "Here there be Dragons."
Erick again: I direct you to look up old clips of Harvey Pekar on Letterman. Carson going in "eyes wide open" to try to promote his work is probably a bad idea. But without PROOF, Dave's gonna throw his support behind his new bestie, and damn the consequences.
Bill Ritter: "EVS is welcome to believe anything he wants to, no matter how distasteful his belief(s) are to me" ya got anything in, I dunno, writing that shows EVS's beliefs? Guys, HELP!
Michael Hunt: I'm still working on what I'm sending up. I got a message from somebody, which I forwarded to Dave at their request. I got a response from Dave. BUT, as the first someone wants to remain anonymous for fear of ComicsGate troll reprisals, and Dave wants to keep everything EVS/ComicsGate related out in the open, I can't and WON'T divulge either. I only mention it now, to let people know that the channels of communication ARE open. And ANYTHING anybody wants me to tell/send Dave, I will gladly do so. But you have to get it to me!
Steve: I just don't want my wife, family, or friends to be harassed by random internet assholes. I don't want random internet assholes coming here and shouting down people in the comments of posts when said people are critical of Dave or his decisions. So, it's a molehill, but it's MY molehill.
Erick again, again: Thanks for the support. Truly. This is why when I first heard of Dave and EVS working together, I decided to post Judenhass. I like Cerebus and Dave enough to keep the lights on for Tim, but if this place gets invaded by toxic a-holes, I'll have to seriously rethink that.
(My first reaction was that if a-holes show up, Aliens: "Take off and nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.")
Tony Dunlop: Okay, but I'm kinda sorta under the social obligation to promote the works of Dave Sim and Gerhard. If they have new works, don't I have to promote them?
Bob O.: "what are you doing on his fan site?" Um, running the joint?
Damian: I'd like to take this moment (heh.) to clarify a mistake I made in my post. When I said, "I mean they have a F@$#ing BLACKLIST!" I meant to say, "I mean they have a F@$#ing BLACKLIST! (I mean, I enjoy a good Blacklist as much as the next guy...)" This has lead to confusion later in the comments as to if it's a blacklist or a boycott. It's probably both (depending on who you ask.) I apologize. It was getting late, and I was tired. Mea cupla, mea maximum culpa.
Carson Grubaugh again: I hear ya buddy, oh man do I hear ya...
Bob O. again: I did, and I just did again. (Click the word "Blacklist" (especially the third one.))
Michael Hunt again: Man, answering EVERY post is starting to seem like a dumber idea than I already thought it was.
Damian again: Are you trying for "AMOC Special Friend of the Day"?
Tony again, again: I already explained this in my response to Damian. Again, sorry.
Damian again, again: Ok, Damian deleted his post, but I still have it, but I'm sure he deleted it because it contained an inaccurate assumption.
Michael Grabowski: Yup. Which is why I chose Judenhass.
Bob O. again, again: I posted the ComicsGate blacklist (or one version of it). What's the problem? Shit-tons of new Cerebus "fans" coming here and saying "Bra!" in every comment?
Me: Hi me. Oh look, the ComicsGate blacklist again...
Damian again again, again: You must REALLY want "AMOC Special Friend of the Day"!
Michael Grabowski again: I'm sorry, again. The lined image says Blacklist, and I had a bit. nd then I forgot to post the bit. But yeah, it's more boycott (But I bet they would love it to be a blacklist.)
Bob O. again again, again: G'Day!
Technically, it's Tim's blog, I'm just ruining it.
Nope, "poo-poo head" just about sums it up.
The tall pointy hat means status son, you can argue with me, but you can't argue with status...
Jeff: I don't get paid.
Jerk.
I'd also like to take your post to address something that bugs the fuck out of me. What the hell is wrong with "Social Justice Warriors"? People fighting for justice? Isn't that like Superman's job description? If THEY'RE Social Justice Warriors, what's the other side? Social Injustice Warriors? Anti-social Justice Warriors? Social Justice Pacifists? Anti-social Injustice Pacifists? I'm a firm believer in the Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King's quote: "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." So TO ME, Social Justice Warrior is a stupid thing to call your opposition as it paints you in a very bad light.
Manqueman: I'm not sure. I'll put it in the pile.
Billiam: Okay, proof for A? And B?
Okay, it's late and I just spent like six hours writing this thing. I'm going to bed. I'll tackle the other ComicsGate comments on Monday.
