MARGARET LISS:
Last October we saw several pages from Dave Sim’s fourteenth Cerebus notebook, which covers Cerebus #114 through 117, in Jaka, Magic, and the Pageant Story. That notebook had sixty-six out of eighty pages scanned, and it had a total of 8 blank pages.
Looking through the pages of that notebook, page five jumped out at me. It has several sketches of young Jaka and her doll Missy. There is no pencil under these sketches, it is just pen on the page, quick sketches of ideas.

It looks like Dave was sketching out ideas for pages 14 and 15 of Cerebus #114, aka Jaka’s Story pages 24 and 25.

The text on the notebook pages doesn’t match up to the finished pages, but to me it looks more like an overview of the first couple issues of Jaka’s Story. What do you think?
