Dave Sim's Notebooks: List of posts so far. . .

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.

Taking a break from Dave’s 21st notebook to showcase all of the Cerebus notebook entries: a list by notebook number of all of the posts so far. And since I’ve just got back from a five-state journey (don’t get too excited, they are all tiny states), I’m pretty tired, so no additional “fluff” this year. If you’d like fluff, you can read last year’s recap that mostly cover’s notebook #1, “Dave Sim's Notebooks: Ten Years”. Or you can read the general overview of the notebooks, “More Detail About Dave's Notebooks”.

In 2025 all of the pages for notebook #1 and 36 have been posted. Right now we’re going through notebook #21 and are up to page 100 out of 260 sequentially. Though if you count past entries for notebook #21, and you know I do, it comes out to an actual 123 pages of it posted to AMoC in the 11 year history of the notebooks posts. So, we are 47% done with it. Will we finish it this year? Maybe. If we look at only 2 pages a week, it will take us 69 weeks. Not nice? But if we look at 3 pages a week, it will take 46 weeks. So we’ll see.

Here are the notebook entries that have been posted so far - if there is a tag, that will show all of the notebook's post in the order they were posted.
