Hi, and welcome to The Dave Sim Memorial Note From
The President Archive. This site was originally compiled by Ampersand. Last updated June 13, 1996.
The Dave Sim Memorial Note From The President
Archive
Probably the most frequent email request I get is to reprint the text to the
infamous issue 186.
This issue, more than any other thing, is what earned Sim his misogynyst reputation.
(Note: since the DSMNFTPA only has permission to reproduce Sim's editorials,
whereas the issue 186 text is technically
part of the storyline, this link will take you off this site.)

Dave Sim's 1993 Pro-Con Speech.
Dave sums up the basis for his self-publishing philospophy, in a long but
invaluable speech. Topics include: why companies will screw you over, why
you can't sue, and how to get started self-publishing.

About the DSMNFTP Archive
Dave Sim is the creator, writer, co-artist and publisher of the
long-running comic book Cerebus. Sim's editorials in
Cerebus comprise an impressive (if eccentric) body of writing,
and I thought it would be fun to put some of the editorials on the
web. I've started with a series of editorials in
which Sim wrote about how to be a cartoonist, and how to self-publish,
since there is acute interest in these questions.
All of Sim's "how-to" essays are now (1/14/96) here, and I'm adding Sim's
editorials on other subjects as time allows. The choices of which
editorials to add are pretty much aribitrary.
All of Sim's editorials are (c) Dave Sim, and are collected here with
permission. Dave Sim can be contacted at Box 1674, Station 'C',
Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, N2G 4R2.
