Jaka Finds Fred's Note
MARGARET LISS:
We last saw pages from Dave Sim’s 17th notebook in August of 2019 in Melmoth One. Notebook #17 had 72 pages scanned and covered Cerebus #127 through 135. Going over the scans I saw a single notebook page that contained the dialogue and some sketches for Jaka’s Story pages 293 to 297, aka Cerebus #128 pages 1 to 5:
![]() |
Notebook #17, page 7 |
What I noticed is it looks like Jaka near the top of the page says “Cerebus is gone” and then Fred is written over Cerebus. While the dialogue isn’t 100% the same as the finished pages, it is close.
And then on the next two pages of the notebook, Dave puts the text and action to specific pages and panels:
![]() |
Notebook #17, page 8 |
![]() |
Notebook #17, page 9 |
On page 9 he continues onto Oscar writing Jaka’s Story and another page of Jaka and Rick. Note on page 8 that Dave wrote down Fred instead of writing Fred over Cerebus as he had done on page 7.
I’ve no idea where dialogue on the left side of page 8 is from: “I have however been stricken (emphasis my physician’s) with a severe bout of Panrovian flu.”

Norwegian revisits Cerebus issues 51-80: "Church & State is a fun, pretty brisk read: Many things happen, but the pacing is just about perfect, and we’re drawn into this pretty interesting and very entertaining storyline." "...it’s funny, and you can’t argue with funny."
