I'm voting Not Crap with a based on Dave Sim being a mysoginistic psycho. But i've read everything through Guys and it's fantastic overall. I don't think i've gotten to Sim's fucked-up anti-woman screeds yet, though. Unless i skipped them?

N/C. I read Cerebus in the mid-to-late 80s and loved it. I lost track since then, and I gather that Dave Sim is a total fuckwad, but the comic was extremely well-written and the art was pretty cool too, at least back when I read it. I think I'll see if my library has any of the early anthologies like "Church and State" or "Jaka's Story" for me to borrow and revisit.

Among many other things I recall liking about it was Cerebus' habit of referring to himself in the third person as "Most Holy" while he was the Pope, and when he had a cold it was "Bost Holy."

Not Crap, no waffle factor. Sims goes FUCKING CRAAAAAAAAAZY! That's part of what makes it compelling. Some of the most intense art in comics history. 300 hundred issues, self published. War , Spirituality, The battle of the Sexes, Religion, Money, "Democracy", and massive amounts of satire.

I've never read him.

But i just read this, and he sounds like a crazy person.

Still, i should probably give cerberus a shot.

I gave up around "Women". Sim is a cock but that doesn't make it not a worthwhile read. The rape scene during Church and State (I think) was one of the more fucked up things I've ever read. I think I'll pick it up where I left it (about issue 200). Luckily the compilations are cheap used on Amazon.

Disclosure: have been confused more than a few times by the story line.

Further Disclosure: have fapped to Jaka.

man, that wimpy-lookin thing would so get its ass handed to it by the guy who rightfully should hand it its ass for polluting his name with wimp-stink:

High Society and Church and State I and II are really great comics. The writing is hilarious, especially in High Society, and the artwork starts to really get interesting after Gerhard starts doing the backgrounds.

NOT CRAP with some waffles for everything after and including Ricks Story.
