Again, I take requests...

Hi, Everybody!

On Margaret's post this week, my ol' buddy Zipper (that's Michael R. of the Easton, Pennsylvania to you folks who don't know the secret handshake...) asked:
Hi Margaret!
In The Last Day phonebook, in The Last Annotations, on page 250 where it starts The Last Day-page 41 --- Dave said he did a number of pencil drawings of "Old Cerebus" on tracing paper. Did any of the "Old Cerebus" make it in the last Notebook? If it did, can I request it as a post?
Michael R.
Oh look, Zipper is right:


Well "Zipp"... their MAY be drawings of old Cerebus in a notebook, I know where there are those first tracing paper drawings...

My house.

Thanks "Zipp"! ANY chance I get to post "Aardvark wang" is a GOOD day...


I think this one is my favorite...



And, these are new scans I made today. I did them at 1200dpi, so Sean can remaster them for the next printing of The Last Day...

Over on the FaceItBooks, Craig Johnson shared:
For real Sim completists - completionists? - ah, whatever - Clifford Meth posted this and a few here might be interested for the Dave intro:-
Sadly, our friend, the writer/artist Bill Messner-Loebs (Flash, Wonder Woman, The Maxx) has fallen on hard times again. He and his wife, who is not in the best of health, are currently residing in a temporary residence while Bill seeks work. At age 73, that isn't as easy as it should be. While I can only hope other publishers will have work for him, I've developed a project for Bill that will take time to unfold--in the meantime, we have some books that Aardwolf published in 2005, and a handful with bookplates SIGNED by Dave Cockrum, Bill, and myself. THREE TENORS OFF KEY features an introduction by Dave Sim and an Afterword by the late, splendid Tom Spurgeon. SIGNED books just are $25 each plus $3 for postage. Please contact me directly if you'd like one.
I reached out to Mr. Meth, and he said:
I’m afraid they will have to connect with me if they want copies. And I don’t have that many left. I’m sorry but this book was published many years ago and I’m not set up as a business—Just a writer and old friend helping Bill. People can connect with me on Facebook or email me at cliffmeth@aol.com
And then added:

I also have a handful of these. They are signed by Bill, Dave Cockrum, Paty Cockrum and myself. Selling the sets for $18
So, if you want to help a brother out...

Hi Matt!
Very cool that you got the first 5 tracing papers. Hmmmm? I womder how many there after the first 5?

I think, if I remember right, that you posted this images once before.

Thank you. I just was curious on the different variations of "old Cerebus" when I got up to that part of The Last Annotations.

Zipper,

I did. I even linked to THAT post in THIS post.

And you're very welcome, but as I said, "any chance to post aardvark wang..."
