"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...)
We take a "moment" (Heh.) to remind everyone that James Windsor-Smith has a Kickstarter for Papa Balloon and Cactus #2 WITH a Dave Sim Variant Cover. And JWS had me send stuff to Dave, and we talk around that...
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.
And somewhere in there Dave answers why he and Mark Gruenwald signed a copy of The Amazing Spider-Man #59 to "Jim".

Boy howdy, that's some good Holdin'... See ya next month when we do it all again...
