Viktor Davis Continues His Monologue

MARGARET LISS:

A few years ago I scanned all of Dave Sim's notebooks. He had filled 36 notebooks during the years he created the monthly Cerebus series, covering issues #20 to 300, plus the other side items -- like the Epic stories, posters and prints, convention speeches etc. A total of 3,281 notebook pages detailing his creative process. I never really got the time to study the notebooks when I had them. Just did a quick look, scanned them in and sent them back to Dave as soon as possible. So this regular column is a chance for me to look through those scans and highlight some of the more interesting pages.

We’re continuing our look at Dave Sim’s 21st notebook used during the creation of Cerebus #164 to 187. We’ll be looking at this notebook, which there were 260 out of 300 pages scanned, until we’ve seen every single page of it. Well, the pages scanned. If you want to see all of the notebook #21 posts to date, just use the Notebook 21 tag.

Yes, sorry, more rambling long text pages with Viktor Davis’ monologue. Well, except the first page shown, which shows the usual issue number boxes with a short summary of the contents of the issues. Except this time we only get two issues worth of summaries:

Notebook #21, page 181

Then it is right back to Viktor and his audience. . .for the next three pages as well:

Notebook #21, page 182

Notebook #21, page 183

Notebook #21, page 184

The next notebook we look at better just be sketches. . .at least we’ll have this one out of the way. . .
