Augie, I Know You'll Appreciate The Lettering...

Got this from Dave Sim at the recent Toronto Comic Con - the beauty of the line work is fantastic, but I figured you'd really appreciate the letters!

Indeed, I do. Congrats, Murray, that's a BEAUTIFUL piece. He does sketches at cons? Or commissions?

I need to make a run for the border, it would seem.

Sim is now a regular at the Paradise Toronto Con and I think this is the first time in the 3 years he's been doing it that he took on commissioned sketches. In the past he'd gladly sign anything you gave him and did little head sketches of Cerebus (got one of those 3 years ago), but this year he was taking commissions so I signed up. He's also one of the greatest creators ever to chat with - a really legitamately bright guy, ya know?

Dude, it'd be real cheap for you to do the Paradise show - from Jersey you could drive it in 8 1/2 hours or just take the $125 flight to Buffalo, rent a car and drive the 60 minutes to Toronto! Show's getting bigger all the time too.

(Sadly Mr. Bush has decreed you'll need a passport to cross the border though...)

I just got my passport in November. I'm good there. That doesn't bother me at all. Some year, I'll make it up to Toronto. ::sigh::

I did pick up a Cerebus sketch from issue $300 when someone was selling those a couple of years ago, but I want more more MORE!
