You realize, of course, that you're going to get flooded with
responses to this remark (he is, isn't he folks?); I thought
i'd start the ball rolling.

The best way to get into the Aardvark is to find someone who
has all (or most) of the back issues and read them all in one
sitting (wimps might need two sittings).  Dave's art and story-
telling seem to go through definite changes quite frequently
(relatively speaking), some of which (the current story, in my
honest opinion) leave somewhat to be desired.  Thus, one issue
is completely insufficient to convey the full flavor of Mr. Sim's
wit and wisdom.

I happen to think that Cerebus is one of the best satire/parody/
commentaries on modern society and (especially) politics currently
available.  It ranks right up there with Doonesbury and Bloom
County (any bets as to whether Gary Trudeau and Berke Brethed
are, in fact, the same person?).

Please, don't send out another Cerebus review until you've read
'High Society' completely (if you really don't like it, that
should shut you up quite effectively).
