Dear Dave,

Three points:

#1. A post in Neil Gaiman’s blog extends your offer a free, signed Cerebus comic to any and all who drop you a letter and I’m wondering if that offer’s still open? If so, can you please send me a comic? I’m not really concerned with which issue—but if you have any of the Sandman spoof left, why not? As to why I’d like an issue: I like free things & I also enjoy writing letters, and I like letters that bring me free things, especially signed comics by revered and reviled independent publishers and artists.

#2. Forgive me if this is an issue that’s been addressed, but: have you given any thought to publishing a volume of the 300 Cerebus covers? I’ve no idea if cost would make this logistically possible, but I’ve long thought that Cerebus, if nothing else, had the best covers of any pamphlet comic.

#3. Forgiveness please if this happens to be another issue that’s been addressed, but could you lose the Fifteen Things preface to your blog posts, or at the least vary it up a bit? My complaint isn’t content–it’s just that I find scrolling through with each post to be unusually irritating. This kills my ability to read your blog, which is a shame as I do enjoy your posts, and frankly, I’m one of this planet’s most important people.

Thanks for your time, I am,

Most Sincerely Yours,

Jarett Kobek
