/co/'s thoughts on Cerebus the Aardvark?
>>153396042boring rambling of a mediocre "satirist/comedian" for about 10,000 pages. i dont know how people managed to read all of it and think its the best thing ever written.
>>153396042Kino.
>>153396042Read a dozen issues and didn't find it very interesting beyond a silly Conan satire/pastiche. What this anon >>153396070 said. Quite puzzling how so many people consider this the "greatest comic ever".
>>153396042It's really rather good until it goes insane and even then it's still rather good much to the fury of the easily offended. You can say a lot about Sim but he knew his craft.
>>153397593It gets good AFTER the fantasy parody stuff
Whiny nigga
>>153398180The fantasy parody stuff was still pretty entertaining for what it was. The Palnu Trilogy was where it started to get really good.
>>153398180Hence the trope
>>153396042
>>153396042Starts mid, gets very good, then gets very bad and not in an entertaining way. Exactly at what point it stops being worth reading is a matter of opinion but most people seem to agree there is one.
>>153396042Its great until later days and thats only bad because of blocks of text in it.Last Day is great though.
>>153400344I think #200 is probably the best spot the end it but at the same time if you powered through 200 issues you're probably not going to stop now.
>>153396042I heard it has beautiful backgrounds
One of the best comics of all time.One of the worst comics of all time.One of the most interesting comics of all time.
Still waiting Absolute Cerebus.
>>153396042About two-thirds of it is good to great.
>>153402562Why does the realistic one looks like it was made with AI?
>>153396042The greatest tangents ever written
>>153400344it never really gets bad, you're just a pathetic simp
>>153400344I think it's generally at least still interesting if only as a window into the mind of a complete lunatic
>>153401621>I heard it has beautiful backgroundsWhat Sim got up to Gerhard was always the goat.
>>153407254except all of his fringe theories turned out to be true
>>153400344Melmoth is the best place to stop period, Minds is probably the best place to stop if you're already going past Melmoth but Women is when it goes bad in my opinionThe book ceases to be about Cerebus and Sim is reaching the height of his schizophrenic mania
>>153407414Minds is the best book in the entire thing.
>>153398180So which comic # is that?
What did he actually rant about that was so controversial anyways? How was it any different then anything else that happened in comics and every media now? Besides I assume being the opposite side of the Nintendo vs Genesis debate.
>>153406258Because Aardvarks aren't real so your brain can't process it
>>153407414I think "Mothers & Daughters" is better than most of "High Society." There's some rot in "Guys," but it doesn't really start to fall off until "Rick's Story."
>>153407414you obviously didn't read the latter arcs
>>153407976feminists, and proto-woke culture. that's why /co/mblr groans at it. with that said, tangents are a great pleb-filter. afterwards the comic moves back to normal stories, and they are actually pretty mature, much more than earlier stories. they are more focused on moods and copy that japanese mangaesque "quiet moments".
Is there any fanart/crossover art with Cerebus and Arthur Read?
The Cerebus / Jaka relationship is one of the most beautiful in comic books, but also the most tragic and heartbreaking
>>153396042I want to see his pussy, but the comics never show it, so it sucks. You don't tease intersexism without SHOWING that shit.
>>153396042The story basically ends at Rick's StoryEverything else is just an epilogue.
>>153408771In that his mania hits a higher peak? no not really
Bump
>>153396042s'okay
>>153396042dave sim is the most based man to ever walk this goddamned earth.he went all in on his cringe instead of being a faggot like modern writers such as garth ennis.
>>153412328His comic is possibly the best and open example of a human being dealing with a mental disorder ever put to ink, well, save for Henry Darger.
>>153412373there's a lot of good scenes to use for meme purposes too. I should read it again desu.
>tfw met dave sim in real life >didnt know who the guy was>just moving quickly through a comic convention, looking at everything i cant afford>guy walks up to me>hey want some free comics?>gives me 5 random issues of cerebus the aardvarkactual based retard
>>153412328Give it a rest, tranny.
>>153412611bot response
>>153412632You've been posting this weird bullshit dichotomy about Sim and Ennis in other threads. Go reattach your balls or something.
>>153396042No thoughts, head empty
>>153415499Wrong answer.
>>153396042Never read it, so I don't feel comfortable speaking on this work.
Saw a comment summing up the Cerebus best as the most elaborate and ambitious way an artist ever depicted their own decline from dementia.
Early Red was the best..
>>153408799Well co is gay they unironically like Rainbow Rowell.
>>153412328All Garth Ennis hate is forced & preformative.
>>153396042I only read the TMNT crossovers, I need to read the series.
Reminder that Dave Sim himself is fine with you reading Cerebus whether you pay for it or not.Also just bumping the superior Cerebus thread that isn't full of arguing about Sim's politics.
>>153400344well I know what the last point is at least
>>153396042Hideously off-putting protagonist puts this in the never-read category.
>>153418349>t. jerks off to UPA-derived abominations
>>153416673Good on you.
>>153396042Some parts are legitimately great.
>>153418121gehardart dot com no longer appears valid ATM
i remember reading it in the 80s and it was exciting to look forward to reading the letters page interactions with Mr.Sim being unfiltered ie. entertaining
>>153416673>>153419475More people could stand to follow this example. The internet would be a much more bearable place that way.
