Description

From Dave, on memorable collaborations: Drawing the two-part Ricky Robot strip written by (THE) Jerry Siegel in the back of Cerebus. It felt bad in a way because it wasn�t, to me, really strong material. So I felt, in a way, like one of those people who would jump at the chance to have lunch with Orson Welles knowing that they weren�t going to finance his movie. So, it felt kind of predatory - working with the �creator of Superman� rather than working with Jerry Siegel. On the other hand, we did pay him and we did publish the story and it might have sparked some interest somewhere and I�m sure he knew and understood that I wasn�t going to stop doing Cerebus to do Ricky Robot with him full-time. Dan is one of the Day brother artists (Gene, David, and Dan).
