- Please Hold For Dave Sim 7/2023
The July twenty twenty-three Please Hold For Dave Sim has all the answers to all the Mike's questions. And even some Non-Mike questions. It's a hoot!
- Matt remembers Jeff Seiler, but not to print out his bit.
- Dave answers the last of Adam J. Elkhadem (R.I.P.)'s questions about making comics.
- Dave answers Mike's question about marketing your work...by reading one of Mike's stories.
- Dave answers Mike's question about Dave's drawing hand.
- Dave answers Mike's question about Jack Kamen's method of stylized realism in comics art.
- Dave answers Mike's question about...well, it's more a comment, but we discuss it...

- Dave answers another NOT Mike question, this time about where the Cerebus warehouse books ended up, and offers a new "Swordfish" deal to all the listeners who find themselves in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.
- Dave answers Tony "Michael" Dunlop's question about Cerebus Archive Portfolios.
What I say? A "hoot"! (If you find yourself "hoot-less", contact me for a full refund.)

2 hr 4 min - Please Hold For Dave Sim 4/2023
"Dapper" Dave Sim and Manly Matt Dow return, once again, for their Monthly phone chat that Manly records and edits together and posts here.
We call it Please Hold For Dave Sim.
In the April 2023 Please Hold, Dave and Matt discuss:
- Can Matt refer to a Strong. Independent. Female. As a... "broad" (Manly sez: "Dude, she invites four underage dudes to move in with her within hours of first meeting them. Broad is one of the NICEST terms I could use...")
- Dave remembers Cerebus Fan, Jeff Seiler.
- A BIG "Thank You!" to the 608 people who gave $88,508 to fund The Waverly Press & Aardvark-Vanaheim’s Remaster of Eastman & Laird’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Number Eight Featuring Dave Sim’s Cerebus the Aardvark. Thank you, again.
- Manly let's YOU, yes, YOU! know that if you missed out on The Waverly Press & Aardvark-Vanaheim’s Remaster of Eastman & Laird’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Number Eight Featuring Dave Sim’s Cerebus the Aardvark, you gots the 2nd chance thanks to the The Waverly Press & Aardvark-Vanaheim’s Remaster of Eastman & Laird’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Number Eight Featuring Dave Sim’s Cerebus the Aardvark Indiegogo campaign.
- An announcement that "Mistakes were made." regarding the Remastered The Last Day.
- And Manly christens the new version "The Last Void". (See, the spine reads "Form & Void", even though it's the Remastered The Last Day, as we said, "Mistakes were made." It's either "The Last Void", or "Form & Day"...)
- Dave announces the beginnings of a plan to sell copies of the Remastered The Last Day, Signed by Dave AND Gerhard, with a Last Day Cerebus head sketch Remarque in silver on the cover by Dave, on CerebusDownloads.com for the low low price of $XXXCAD (we're still working out the price. BUT, the first Day will have a discount for loyal listeners/readers. More details as Dave and the Cerebus Braintrust make them up...)

- Dave answers the second (in a series of questions) from Adam J. Elkhadem, creator of Octave the Artist.
- Then Dave discusses Frank Thorne at the request of Travis H.
- Mike Sewall wants to know about Remastered Diamondback decks. Dave and Matt got answers...and memories.
- Dodger wants to know about CerebusTV. Dave and Matt have answers...and memories.
- John Gilsmann's question about the number 7 in The Strange Death of Alex Raymond.

Once again, Aardvark-Vanaheim President Dave Sim and A Moment of Cerebus Interim Editor Manly Matt Dow take three-ish hours out of their busy days to answer reader questions, drop some news, and generally "shoot the $#!*" in a lil' sumthin'-sumthin' we call Please Hold For Dave Sim.

- What music Matt used for the TMNT #8 countdown video he made.
- Then a deep dive into the can of worms Darrell Cook opened in the Cerebus Faceybookee group, wherein he talks about Jaka's molestation as a child, and his suspicions that Lord Julius was the culprit. This goes on for a while...

And more! (Maybe. Probably. You got the time, listen and find out for yourself...)

Holy @#%& Dave Sim and Manly Matt Dow AREN'T done doing this every month!
"And there was much rejoicing"...
(HEY! I didn't hear any rejoicing from that guy in the back... You're on the List pal!)
In this, the first month of the year of our Lord Two Thousand and Twenty-three, Dave Sim and Manly Matt Dow discuss:
- A couple of "shout outs" from Dave Sim
- Matt remembers Jeff Seiler and "Two Women Grinding"
- When's the Remastered Last Day a'comin'? (Not soon, unfortunately...)
- Dave Sim the Barbarian? Fictional AND Real...
- Larry Wooten and his new Art acquisitions (I hate him.)

1 hr 43 min - Please Hold For Dave Sim 12/2022
Well here we are, the FINAL Please Hold For Dave Sim. Of 2022.
Or, EVER.
I dunno. I just send the questions and record the answers, I'm not in charge of anything.
Anyway, this time Dave and Matt talk about:
- Jeff Seiler's Kansas City Royals annual (Let's hope it went to KC or Cooperstown...)
- Barry Windsor-Smith's Frost Giant's Daughter
- Harry Truman and the Sunday funnies
- If this is the FINAL Please Hold, or not?
- What Dave would change in Cerebus if he could
- What books Dave recommends
- If Dave would ever try a Cerebus-like project again
- An idea to make Dave some of that money we’ve heard so much about
- The contents of Cerebus volume 1, and what's missing and why
- The Form & Void remastered campaign
- What to do with your collection to keep your non-fan kids/heirs from missing out on cashing in when you cash out
- And if this is REALLY the FINALE, or not?
If this IS the last one, we had a pretty good four year run. And that means there's an end to what Jesse Herndon has to transcribe, and the book of transcripts can get sketched out in Matt's head.
(I wonder if Gerhard is gonna be busy in January?)1 hr 43 min - Please Hold For Dave Sim 10/2022
