Also for those here, here's a link that Margaret Liss, the notoriously intelligent Cerebus Fangirl has so graciously provided, that helps track all the internet sites which Dave has visited (and will re-visit), including special links to "Dave only" comments:

I have all of the Cerebus Phonebooks(and #0 and World Tour), have yet to start them. Will GP be put in trade fairly quickly? Sim said there were copies sent out to preview. Where could I see a preveiw of it in Oregon?

Welcome Dave,

Can you tell me the basic storyline of Glamourpuss? Also, what's the status of the CBLDF lithograph with Neil Gaiman and are you still mailing out the Sandman parody issues?

Dave will be here shortly...he plans to do 20-25 issues of glamourpuss (if all goes well) and then create the trade after the run, in 2012...keeping all issues of gp in print during that time.

All comics retailers will be getting a preview copy soon...make sure to ask to see it!

I did have a non-gender question for Dave, actually. First, welcome, Dave, this is a highly energetic board with a lot of good folks and pop-culture insanity. Lots of current creators drop by, predominantly from Marvel, I think.

Okay, regarding the photo references.

I'm just curious, but are the clothes you put on the women directly from the magazines you're using for reference? Are the models, designers and photographers credited in any way?

That sounds like a leading question, but I'm just honestly wondering how it works, exactly, as some recent lawsuits regarding unauthorized use of photos have actually favored the photographers, if I understand correctly. I'm thinking of Perez Hilton, for one example.

I don't believe you're obligated in any way to credit them, but I'm not a lawyer at all, and I don't know what the legal questions might be, if there ARE any, in fact. But if a photographer goes to the intellectual and financial process of creating an image at some great expense, that is their art, correct? And is taking that image so directly completely kosher? Do you feel the use of any image and likeness is okay, as long as it's illustrated and not simply a photographic representation of the original image?

So I guess the follow-up question is, do you alter the clothes, in particular, and if so, to what degree? Do you alter the image to remove it from the inspiration?

And I say again for the millionth time, I think the art looks fantastic. I wish I had better questions about craft to ask you, but I have to admit I like puzzling out my own theories about your artistic and writerly choices based on your work itself, which I think is absolutely worthy of long study.

Best,

Gail
