One of my listeners sent me a scan of a letter that Dave Sim is sending out for anyone that wishes to correspond. In the past he has been pretty open about exchanging viewpoints and debating, but this latest piece is just damn weird. He is requesting that if you want to correspond with him, you must agree that he is not a misogynist.
Read for yourself and make your own opinion. What do you think, is Dave in the right for limiting who has access to him, or is he furthering his descent into seclussion. As an added bonus, don’t forget about our interview with Dave
from a couple of months ago, I doubt we would be able to interview him again.
I have heard statements questioning the validity of letter. It’s genuine, I have no reason to make up news. On the other side of the coin, there is an online petition that the Cerebus Yahoo group has started.
even after dave went crazy his comic was still readable… for a while. after issue 200 i am pretty much not interested. but i still bought the phone books strangely enough.
I worked closely with Sim for several years. At first he hid his obsessions, but as time went on, he became more controlling and abusive. He would make up accusations and become irate if you defended yourself. An extremely dominating and manipulating personality. Supposedly he is broke to get people to feel sorry for him, but in reality, a millionaire. He pretty well destroyed his former partner of twenty years who escaped with his health broken, finances destroyed, from trying to deal with him.
