For Cerebus readers, "Cerberus," our 3-headed, 31st century version of Cerebus, returns and figures prominently in one of our stories; we also have the 2 "Sparkybus" micro-prints that Matt Dow masterminded and Dave Sim signed, plus 3 different variants of "Tails of Sparkybus" that Dave drew stuff for and signed on a tipped-in plate. These are very limited editions and quantities of some are running low, so this could be the last chance to get them.

Notebook 21: A Story Device Realizes He Isn't Real
MARGARET LISS:
We’re continuing our look at Dave Sim’s 21st notebook used during the creation of Cerebus #164 to 187. We’ll be looking at this notebook, which there were 260 out of 300 pages scanned, until we’ve seen every single page of it. Well, the pages scanned. If you want to see all of the notebook #21 posts to date, just use the Notebook 21 tag.
~*~~~*~
I don’t know about you, but walls of text? I can see how people tired of it in Reads. Though, we were primed for it in Cerebus #28 (Mind Game II). And Jaka’s Story. So ya know, I actually enjoyed Reads. Yah, I didn’t agree with all of the content, but then again, Cerebus #94 anyone?
Okay, now that y’all are worked up, time for some bad news? Good news? There are only 18 pages left to show from Dave’s 21st notebook. And we’ll be seeing four of those pages today. So yay! Only 18 pages left. Oh noes, more walls of text. . .and then. . .what next?
If you remember last week’s post, we saw pages that were in Cerebus #183, with Viktor talking to the audience. We also “heard” from someone who sounded like Elrod. Elrod saying:
“What. . ah say. . .what was that. Who’s there? Somebody ah say somebody put on the night light’. This joke has gone too far. . .(cursed the boundary that is). Ahm a story like…”
That continues on the next page of the notebook:
“…Alan Moore said ah can neither be created nor destroyed. I can write my own lines.”
![]() |
| Notebook #21, page 241 |
Yah, Elrod was just a story device. This bit of the notebook about Elrod showing up in Viktor’s . . .story showed up on page 182 of Reads (aka Cerebus #183, page 17. Not quite word for word, but the gist of it remains.

| Notebook #21, page 242 |
Viktor is leading us into the darkness. Not out of it, but into it as he states. This continues on page 243:
![]() |
| Notebook #21, page 243 |
Yes, follow Viktor’s squeaking sneakers to the next page of the notebook, where we see some crossed out text.
![]() |
| Notebook #21, page 244 |
The crossed-out text states “The Judge was wrong. The void wasn’t Tarim and the light wasn’t Terim. It’s the other way around.”
The rest of the page is Viktor asking if we can trust him. And he takes out that crossed out line as it doesn’t appear in Cerebus #183. Or #184. Though in Cerebus #185’s text pages, the concept of Viktor changing his mind about the end of Church & State appears.

(I gotta remember to beg for the Notes to CANs 28-30 as Add-Ons for a future Kickstarter...)
