We last saw Dave Sim's fifth Cerebus notebook in April of 2018 in
Travel to the T'capmin Kingdom. The notebook covers Cerebus #45 through 49 and had 79 of the 80 pages in the notebook scanned. Last week we saw some Suenteus Po bits in the second Cerebus notebook. I found some more mentions of him in this notebook.

Looks like some dialogue between Astoria and Po? The thumbnail sketch is of page 433 of High Society (aka page one of you guessed it, Cerebus #47). And yes, it matches pretty well to the finished page. The text isn't as close to the original. For one, Po's name isn't mentioned at all. . .If Dave did decide to leave the character as Po.

The character sketch on the page is similar, but a bit different, but he is the Po likeness. The two thumbnails appear to be a first rough of page 2 and then a closer approximation of page 2.

Pretty close to the finished dialogue as I recall, but I'm quite certain Astoria never calls him "Mr. Po" in the finished book...
And that sketch would be right at home in the dictionary illustrating "effete," wouldn't it?
