In Dave Sim’s “Cerebus Guide to Self Publishing,” the comic book artist and author Sim recalls this story from when he was younger, working in the studio of his friend and fellow artist Gene Day:

“I remember working on a page up at Gene Day’s place and one of the panels was a close-up of a hand. I drew it and re-drew and re- re-drew it fifty times and finally, exasperated, I said ‘I draw lousy hands’. Gene wanders over with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, squints over my shoulder, says, ‘It’s a Dave Sim hand’ and went back to work. That cleared away a big road-block for me.”
