(from a comment on Kickstarter Update #66, 24 July 2012)
Finally, I can die happy. One of my first ads for Cerebus appears! And
for those of you who care, doing the monthly Cerebus B&W ads was one
of the most enjoyable creative experiences of my career. Some of my
best work too. All because (besides loving the book) of the creative
freedom that Dave gave me. Deni would send me the first 10 pages of the
next issue and then it was all up to me to decide what to do with them.
Far as I know, I only pissed off Dave once with my efforts. (You have to
guess which one and why, when all of them see "print" or whatever.)
Thank you Dave for that wonderful opportunity.

Great looking ads. I love the layout; it's got the dynamic quality of a Dave Sim comic page, with the coolness and slickness of a Jazz Album's liner notes. Love it.
