Podcast appearances and mentions of Dave Sim

Geez, you thought it was over just because it was the first Saturday of the month?Fool!"Having no working phone or fax, the idea of recording these as a live conversation between Dave Sim and Manly Matt Dow on the first Thursday of the month has pretty much gone out the window. Now, Matt sends whatever questions he's gotten up to Dave once a week, and Dave records answers and sends those files back. And then Matt edits them into these things forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and..."Dave talks alot about the things I sent him. I dunno, writing these synopsizes is a pain...

Having no working phone or fax, the idea of recording these as a live conversation between Dave Sim and Manly Matt Dow on the first Thursday of the month has pretty much gone out the window. Now, Matt sends whatever questions he's gotten up to Dave once a week, and Dave records answers and sends those files back. Which means it's easier to produce the video version on the YouTube then it it to make the audio version on the Spotify...This month, Dave talks for around three and a half hours. And this isn't even all the questions, so there will probably be a part two...

"Anger" by Dave Sim || Matthew 5:21-26 || 02.16.2025 by RC2 Lynnwood

33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.' 34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes' or ‘No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. 35 Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'”

So... Dave Sim currently has no working phone, or fax machine."That means no more Please Hold right?"Sorry Imaginary Spotify listener, who I didn't even realize lives rent free in my head, as they say "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds". Which means, Dave and I found a workaround. I email the Qs to the printshop, and they print them out, Dave's assistant picks them up, and then Dave records his As on his professional recorder (so the sound is REAL good!), has it sent to me, and I cobble it all together. "Wait, no Matt-meandering-gobbledeygook? That's gotta make this pretty short..."You'd think that, but the Audio runs two hours and thirty-five minutes...This time: (I haven't listened to these fully, so I can only go by what I sent Dave)Dave discusses a box of stuff Matt SentThen a PRE-Hold For Dave Sim, of things I would have just faxed up as they came across my desk, but I sent to be printed the same day as this month's questionsThen the official questions:Matt remembers Jeff SeilerDave remembers Jackson "Butch" Guice and Peter DavidA message from ZolastrayaFernando Ramirez's next Cerebus short story@creative_fey AKA April C.'s next batch of questionsJesse Herndon's Please Hold transcript for July 2024Zombie Cerebus covers"CEREBUS ARCHIVE - FIRST RELEASE" gold sealsthe indicia on issue #6the day Elvis and his mom died and Madonna was bornStrange Death of Alex Raymond original art portfolios?This month's Please Hold stripThat's what I asked, but, again, I haven't listened to the whole thing, so no idea what Dave may have skipped/cut out.Let's find out together!

Two major themes we have explored in the Sermon on the Moun so far: 1. the essential character of Jesus' disciples as described by the Beatitudes and 2. their purpose to be the salt and light of the world. Jesus pivots to a discussion of the Law and the Prophets to address concerns about traditional teachings by the Pharisees and other religious leaders, who have turned the Scriptures into strict codes for personal gain. Jesus clarifies that He did not come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it, bringing true illumination through His presence. Christ himself animates the Scriptures, our faith, and the Church's worship and ministry, and cannot be separated from the Law and Prophets.

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!

Christ is our Shalom! We in the church are called to be ambassadors of reconciliation and carriers of Shalom. With our citizenship in the KoG we are centered on the policies of Jesus, and work from there to pursue reconciliation, renewal, and love in the world.

Sending out of the 72 into the towns was not explicitly only to the “house of Israel” here in Luke. Jessica Hsieh and Pastor Dave Sim will offer both their takes on the passage as it relates to Renew being sent into our everyday lives/work to “do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.”

As citizens of an upside down Kingdom our witness lies in our peace-keeping, love, and good deeds that run counter to values of empire. To give a defense for the “hope you have” is less about apologetics and more about how we live our lives.

19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that[a] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God. 22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.

From the start, John's Gospel declares Jesus as King through Nathanael's words: "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!" (John 1:49). Throughout the Gospel, Jesus is shown as an unconventional king—one who speaks to the lowly, serves rather than being served, and remains humble. His unique kingdom is not of this world, prompting reflection on its significance for us today. Pilate's question, "Are you the King of the Jews?" is answered through Jesus' demonstration of kingship, authority, and reign on the Cross. We approach Advent and the close of the liturgical year reflecting on the implications of this.

Jeremiah 33:14-16 14 “‘The days are coming,' declares the Lord, ‘when I will fulfill the good promise I made to the people of Israel and Judah. 15 “‘In those days and at that time I will make a righteous Branch sprout from David's line; he will do what is just and right in the land. 16 In those days Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will live in safety. This is the name by which it[a] will be called: The Lord Our Righteous Savior.'

Paul writes while in prison in Rome. He calls the Philippians to rejoice in all circumstances. What does it look like to rejoice even in pain and suffering? What is the relationship between Joy and suffering? As we journey in this Advent season, we recognize that all is not shiny lights and happiness in this season. We recognize that for many, Christmas time is a sad time. We also recognize that our world is hurting and groaning. What does it look like for the community of faith to be of one mind and spirit and to Rejoice at all times?

The gift of Jesus fills the empty spaces of our soul with joy, good news, and praise. This abundant grace overflows and spills out to other in contagious praise.

We look at the 1st 4 Beatitudes in Matthew 5:3-6. The Poor in Spirit; those who mourn; those who are meek; those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. There is a quality of lack or an awareness of lack in this group of people.

We begin a series on the Sermon on the Mount with the question: is Jesus' ethical teaching still relevant and pragmatic for us today?

Beatitudes 5-7. We will look at being merciful, pure in heart, and peacemakers--These can be seen as “fruitful” outpouring of the first 4 beatitudes.

Jesus raises a widows son from the dead. From a terminal situation, Jesus' heart goes out to a devastated mother and demonstrates that He is the Lord of the Resurrection.

In the center of Mark, Jesus touches a blind man who initially cannot see clearly but then can. The disciples earlier do not ‘see' the meaning behind the loaves and the fish. Following the healing of the blind man, they see clearly that Jesus is the Messiah. What in our lives keeps us from seeing.

Unity isn't about being the same or conforming to one culture. People can have different political views, dress differently, and eat different foods, yet still be unified. A strong mission, vision, and purpose can bring people together. True unity centers on the Gospel/Christ, True unity has love at its core. True unity recognizes and honors differences.

Though the Spirit had been moving hte early church towards being a more Gentile-inclusive community, Paul confronts Peter for being a hypocrite and ghosting the Gentiles after a delegation from Jerusalem show up on the scene. Christ-centered unity is more than just getting along, and it's a difficult sustained journey of conviction. There will be push back. There will be loss of reputation and status. Faithful reconciliation involves conflict and truth-telling, with a spoonful of the Holy Spirit.

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!

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?

On the new episode I welcome the guys from TBH Comics to dig into the makings of their new Horror Comics Kickstarter - Grim Scary Tales: New Nightmares. This is a great one to learn about what goes into both a horror comics anthology and how to work that pesky Kickstarter algorithm.  Have a listen to Kieron Squires, Damian Edwardson and Dan Butcher on their comics insights and a few blue jokes along the way. And a BIG thanks to Dave Sim for the intro this week. Many thanks for listening.   

To preach Jesus is to preach healing. Only Luke records the healing of Malchus' (ref. John) ear. In a situation where violence could rule the day and evil would “have its hour” Jesus would perform a miraculous healing and restoration on a rather seemingly insignificant body part. But this ‘little' healing truly highlights the contrast of Kingdoms. Jesus in his incarceration chooses non-violence and even loving touch, when vengeance could easily have won the day. This is who we proclaim and worship!

In chapters 8 and 9 JEsus goe on a whirlwind tour of healing. In Matthew 9:37-38 Jesus sees the many people seeking healing and has compassion on them “for they were like a sheep without a shepherd.” Then he looks to his disciples and points their attention to the harvest before them saying: “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” We are invited to participate in Christ's healing work in the world. When the need seems overwhelming and immense–Jesus tells us to prayer for more people to help out.

We are given a few episodes of Jesus very willing to cross the boundaries and propriety to heal people very intimately and with authority. As the prophet Isaiah wrote: Jesus takes ups our infirmities and heals our disease.”. He's willing able and chases us down and holds us in our uncleanness.

Jesus heals a man who had been ill for 38 years at the Pool of Bethesda in Jerusalem. Unable to reach the healing waters, the man explains his situation to Jesus. Jesus tells him, “Get up, pick up your mat and walk.” The man obeys and is immediately healed. What is the interplay between faith, grace, and effort in this healing? What does it look like for us to pick up our mats and walk when we haven't been able to before? What does it mean to "want to be healed?"

“People of color have endured traumatic histories and almost daily assaults on their dignity.” The answer is not in “just getting over it,” or to simply “pray more,” and definitely not in denial or venting in anger/violence. We collectively need to recognize and acknowledge racial trauma and pursue active healing corporately. In fact, all of us, people of color and white people carry the history of racial trauma in our bodies, and it is literally passed on through our DNA through generations, cit. Resmaa Menakem “My Grandmother's Hands”

We are paralyzed by body comparisons, self-loathing, discomfort in our own skin, etc. Some of us have wrestled with eating disorders or attempts to make artificial changes to our appearance. Especially in this age of social media we are comparing ourselves to altered-cyber selves. Filters, photoshop, and extreme models all skew our perception of beauty. But we are fearfully and wonderfully made. We are beautiful. The church is called to be prophetically counter-culture for the healing and renewal of humanity.

We pause here to collect ourselves, recenter, and consider what it means to live lives in pursuit of health and transformation. Self-love: embrace yourself and who god has made you to be. Continue to pursue healing from pain/brokenness from the past; knowing your limitations and boundaries; spiritual rhythms: sabbath and rest; develop skills for loving others well.

Part 2 Acomi and Turk182 explore the art and short lived career of Canadian comic book artist Gene Day. A close friend and apprentice (of sorts) of artist Dave Sim, Gene did work for small press comics while trying to land a job at Marvel. He was eventually hired as the inker artist for the martial arts comic The Hands of Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu, and later became the series artist with issue #100. His clean and detailed art, along with impressive layouts and design, caught readers attention and sales increased. But, supposedly, not everyone liked Gene's panel layout and visual narrative. It's said, that editor Jim Shooter wasn't a fan of Gene's long, sequential action panels. A work incident involving a weekend trip to New York, big infested hotel, sleeping on the bullpen sofa, and lack of heat lead to his untimely death. Join Acomi and Turk discuss the beauty of Gene's work and his near cinematic story telling. They look into the rumors surrounding his feud with Jim Shooter, and the weekend work trip that some believe cause his death.
