That was unexpected
Way back in the Dark Ages, I was at a filksing at a convention somewhere, and I scribbled out a little cartoon of Cerebus the Aardvark. (This was before Dave Sim went batshit insane, and one could be a female fan of Cerebus without feeling the need to wash one's brain out with lye afterwards.) Someone in the circle said, "Hey, I'm putting together a zine - can I use that?"
"Sure!" I said blithely, and handed it over. I think I got a free copy of the zine for it, or maybe not. I forget. It wasn't a very good or memorable zine, as I recall, just a throw-together for the con, but then, it wasn't a very good or memorable cartoon, either. In any case, I promptly forgot all about it.
This morning I was putzing around on the web in a desperate attempt to avoid writing, and guess what I found.
Yeah.
You'll have to scroll down. It's in the "Drawn By Others" section. Loose Notes #4: 1983, 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 fanzine, 64 pages. Cerebus the Aardvark cover by Barbara A. Cummings.
The internet really is forever.
Also I posted the conclusion to "In A Yellow Wood" over at both versions of Seasonal Spuffy if anyone is interested.

Up till yesterday afternoon I seriously didn't think I would finish it on time. But I finished the first draft last night. And then today I managed two fairly severe rewrites, one to put stuff in and one to take stuff out. I'm wiped. But that's one WIP down.
Three to go.
