MARGARET LISS:
A few years ago I scanned all of Dave Sim's notebooks. He had filled 36 notebooks during the years he created the monthly Cerebus series, covering issues #20 to 300, plus the other side items -- like the Epic stories, posters and prints, convention speeches etc. A total of 3,281 notebook pages detailing his creative process. I never really got the time to study the notebooks when I had them. Just did a quick look, scanned them in and sent them back to Dave as soon as possible. So this regular column is a chance for me to look through those scans and highlight some of the more interesting pages.
The last time we saw Dave Sim's notebook #20 was in July of 2017 in POIT! SMASH. The notebook covers Cerebus #153 through 164, and it had 59 pages scanned, and 20 missing pages out of a total 80 pages.
On page there is a preview of the cover of issue 155 with Cerebus flying through the clouds.

Looking at the page you can see a sketch of a woman.

Would that be the time frame of when Dave was involved with Diana Schutz, because these sketches look kind of like her.
There was supposed to be a Jaka's Story excerpt in this issue? I wonder why Dave thought better of that.
