That photo looked familiar, so I ran through the A/V Family Photo Album:

| There it is! |
But, hey! There's more:

| Far be it from me to argue with Granpaw, but this photo is dated THE SAME DAY as the two above. I don't think this is what Dave thinks it is... |

The origin of the cover of Cerebus 193 revealed! Quite fascinating.
I used to have a pre-order for the Susan Alston book. I was curious to see what was in there, not only from the Dave Sim view, but also her work with the CBLDF. I'm disappointed she didn't publish it. Ah well.
