| Cerebus Readers In Crisis #1 (2006) Cover art by Jeff Seiler |
Cerebus Readers In Crisis #1 is based on a true story, as told by Larry Hart, that happened to Jeff Seiler when he went to south Texas to work his summer, non-teaching job in 2005. This comic was written by Jeff Seiler and penciled and inked by Larry Hart. Jeff Seiler did the cover art, which was computer colorized by Jeff Tundis. Dave Sim contributed one page of interior art and the cover lettering. Cerebus Readers In Crisis #1 is published by Effing Magnifier Publishing and is available from Cerebus Fan Girl.
JEFF TUNDIS:
(from a fax to Dave Sim, 13 April 2007)
There seems to be a little misunderstanding concerning the "Effing Magnifier" phrase as it applies to Jeff Seiler's project. The nickname applies to Jeff Seiler, not to you. At SPACE 2005 we met up with a young woman who was crying over her boyfriend. She had gotten leave from the military and spent all her money on a bus trip from, I think, Illinois -- only to be blown off by her boyfriend who had apparently moved on. She was at the hotel because that's where said boyfriend worked. So, Jeff Seiler befriended her, apparently because he likes short blonde girls with double jointed knees -- hey, who doesn't? Anyway, we (Jeff, me, Margaret, Matt Dow and Paula) became responsible for this "lost soul" and our morning turned into an effort to raise money for her return trip bus ticket, and Matt Dow ended up giving her a ride part way home on the way back to Minnesota. During this time I turned to Seiler and, in joking fashion, called him a "f#@%ing magnifier" because, obviously, we were all in super geeked out Cerebus mode.
Amusingly (to me anyway) your post from yesterday threw Seiler into a tizzy for neglecting to tell you the inside joke/story behind the "Effing Magnifier" company name and having possibly offended you, or at least caused you to reach an incorrect conclusion through the power of assumption. And now it's a matter of public record that Seiler was an unwitting tool of YHWH, etc, etc, etc
Anyway, I tried to tell him that it would at least be an interesting topic for conversation at SPACE and not get all worked up over it, but, well... you know Seiler:)
