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.
In February of 2018 in Astoria! GO AWAY! we saw a page from Dave Sim's tenth Cerebus notebook. It covers Cerebus #87 through 95 with 115 page scanned.
On page 55 there is a thumbnail and dialogue for page 4 of Cerebus #92 and dialogue for pages 6 and 7 of that same issue.

All these years later, and (admittedly) not remembering *all* of the context, I think, maybe, Cerebus just ... you know ... REALLY "had to go".
Just sayin'. Comic book art metaphysics colliding with aardvarkian biophysics.

Nice, Tony.
Actually, the line about a big bulge in his ... pants ... reminds me of Mrs. Tynsdale-Clydes' Tea.
Sproing!

Hi! This is Matt, here, bidding $1,315 for the Green/Green package. The kids can take care of themselves.
Nah, JK. I, Jeff, am still the winner until 11:59 p.m., CT, when some ... um ...Guy outbids me. Won't that be fun, reading all of my pissing and moaning?
