Dave Sim's Last Will and Testment. . .Kind Of


We looked at Dave Sim’s tenth notebook last week in Cerebus #92 Page 5 Thumbnails. With 115 pages scanned in the notebook covers Cerebus #87 through 95. I was going to do a few more thumbnails, they never get old to me, but then I saw these two pages:

Notebook #10, page 36

Notebook #10, page 37

Looks like Dave writing down his will. I like that the artwork goes to Gerhard and Dave makes the note that it is ‘for sales as is or for him to water-colour at conventions’. 

The rights to Cerebus licensing go to Gerhard and Karen to decide on a case by case basis and Dave’s father will decide if Gerhard and Karen can’t decide. 

And this one on page 37: “Whatever is completed on the last issue is to be printed and distributed all uncompleted pages are to be blank.”   Yoinks!

Of course this will was later superseded. . .
