Artist's notes

Cerebus the Newsletter #11

Dave: "I'm a big Rolling Stones fan. Reading the book "The Rolling Stones: In Their Own Words", I was struck by the pampered laissez-faire demeanor central to many of their opinions and comments; particularly Mick and 'Keef'. I decided that they would be perfect as jaded royal types - types from the T'capmin Kingdoms. Someday, I'll get Cerebus up there for a visit or the Glimmer Twins will arrive in Iest for a Slumming Party or something. Stay tuned." 1984
