I think you have it. I really think you have it figured out. That's why we've
got all these dream-sequence issues: Gods and Magic seem to be pretty closely
linked in the Aardvarkian Age. With an Aardvark as pope either Tarim's getting
the power he's supposed to have had (remember that Tarim was once a man, who
only became a God later), or (assuming Tarim was merely a heroic figure who has
been given the stature of a god, which is reasonable in light of the fact that
he never seems to do anything) Cerebus is amplifying people's beliefs. In
either case, what's happening is that his dreams are becoming real. And we know
how weird his dreams are. Of course I'm probably full of it. Dave Sim is as
hard to second-guess as Lord Julius.

I don't know about Naomi, but Cerebus' tail is tucked into his britches these
days. Remember "Mrs whatvere-her-name-is' tea"?
