3 hr 43 min - Please Hold For Dave Sim 11/2023
Holy crow! It's the FIFTH anniversary episode of Please Hold For Dave Sim! Five years of holding. Five years of two dudes talking about a cartoon aardvark. Over sixty hours of AMOC's Manly Matt Dow trying to make Dave Sim laugh. Five years with a lot of answers to a lot of questions. Like these:
- Matt remembers Jeff Seiler's car.
- Dave skips Lank Stephens because, oh god the questions...
- VGDC Maroro asks about:
- Judith Bradford
- a sort of "list of exercises" for one to learn how to ink lines
- How does one figure out how far one can push the expression of a character until it becomes off-model
- How did you go about making the rock-climbing scene from Church & State so heartpoundingly thrilling that it took me all the way to 5 paragraphs of the brick wall that is Chasing
YHWH in like 2 days- If you had the ability to draw without any pain in any bit of your arms tomorrow, would you attempt a second magnum-opus like Cerebus was?
- What is your take on the ethics of artists using an AI trained nonconsensually on the work of other artists as a tool to help them?
- Does Glenn Vilppu's technique work for cartoon characters that were constructed two-dimensionally like Fred Flintstone rather than ones made of 3D forms like Mickey Mouse?
- Dodger wants to know about Dave's thoughts on Marvel & DC's B/W reprint lines.
- Steve has inquiries about Jeff Seiler's copy of The Cerebus Guide to Self-Puplishing.
- Margaret has one of them notebook questions.
- Zipper wants to know if he has a rare misprint.
- Christon has questions about Cerebus #1.
- Philip Fry has questions about two unnamed guys from the first 13 issues.

- James Windsor-Smith has questions about Matt's favorite cartoon.
- Wayne Thomas has questions about Deni Sim's signature.
- Aaron Wood makes us hungry...
- And has questions about Superman.
It's another two hours and twenty minutes added to the pile of content we provide you...for free.
