Cerebus Action Figure Jan 2016 update (a little early) https://youtu.be/C2_5Yok1iEM

Xmas countdown with EJ Feddes'1989 remembrance of a Cerebus movie compared to The Simpsons. Sorta:)
http://www.spunkybean.com/best-tv-shows-on-tv/the-12-days-of-christmas-episodes/the-12-days-of-christmas-episodes-day-12-simpsons-roasting-on-an-open-fire/
From the countdown: "I was a big fat dork, and I didn’t know a single person who cared about the stuff I loved. And it wasn’t the buffet of awesome that it is now. Animation was largely dead except for toy tie-ins. There was no Pixar or Adult Swim. It was just me thinking about how awesome it would be if they made a Cerebus movie and nobody wanted to hear me talk about Cerebus. But The Simpsons, that was a popular thing that I loved. It didn’t make me cool or well-liked, but at least I could be enthusiastic about something and other people knew what I was talking about."

And another xmas counbtdown with Dave Sim as #1 http://classiccomics.boards.net/thread/2773/twelfth-classic-comics-christmas-2015
