During the “Cerebus TV” era (October 2009 – March 2012), Dave was sometimes taking orders for custom-request head sketches, using regular ink on non-archival Aardvark-Vanaheim stationary.

I would request multiple sketches and ask for them to be themed. Dave is a champ at taking a suggestion like this and running with it.

This request was for 16 drawings, done with the years, covering “the ages” of Cerebus. I suggested some dates for the later ones based on the published timelines, but Dave did not bite… including for Cerebus being 300 (presumably) at his death in issue 300.

Anyhow, here is what came back.
