I just finished listening to a delightful podcast over at Indie Spinner Rack, where they interviewed Dave Sim in episode 49. It was a good look back at Sim's 300-issue Cerebus run, plus we got some insight into what he's been up to since the book ended. You might be amazed to find out (like I was) that Sim really wants to unleash his inner "Stan Drake" and do a photo-realistic newspaper style strip. Sim definitely has the chops for this type of work, if you take a look at this newspaper strip sample from the life of his friend, Sue Ta (a Canadian actress). It's a very funny interview, and you must listen to the podcast even after the interview is finished, because there's a great tribute song at the end. For DC fans there's some behind the scenes gossip about the deal Neal Adams got on those Adams hardbound collected editions of his DC work. Nuff said.
