	Cerebus the Aardvark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cerebus the Aardvark (or simply Cerebus) was an ambitious monthly independent comic book begun by Canadian artist Dave Sim in 1977, and running for 300 issues and 6,000 pages, through March 2004.
		Cerebus and Jaka continue their journey towards Sand Hills Creek, in the company of Ham and Mary Earnestway, characters based upon Ernest Hemingway and his fourth wife, Mary.
		Their subsequent conversation shatters Cerebus' last illusions about his son, who is planning to have himself cloned with a lion's body, marry his mother, and rule Egypt as the god Harmaclus.

	Cerebus The Aardvark
		Cerebus rejects the threat and we get another beautiful line: "The President sucks wet farts out of dead pigeons." Weisshaupt goes to fire the cannon, but suffers a heart attack while trying to get his religiously intimidated men to light the fuses.
		Cerebus appears in one of the dimensions and meets "Fred, Ethel and the little fellow with the hair" the two Things and the artist from the Beguiling.
		Cerebus and Cirin argue theology in space, and their wounds are healed (except for the missing ear).

	Graphic novel review - Cerebus - Sim
		Cerebus the Aardvark is an institution in comics.
		Despite referring to himself in the third person, Cerebus is a shrewd cookie, who only fails in his aim of earning enough money to get and stay unhealthily drunk due to his reliance on, and interest in, the incredible array of idiots he manages to surround himself with.
		The look of Cerebus is developed early in the book, with the extra-long snout of the first few issues soon disappearing, giving Cerebus a 'cuter' look that sits uneasily (if comically) with his strength and ferocity.

	CEREBUS
		Cerebus becomes a houseguest of Jaka, the one true love of his life, who long ago gave up on him and is now married to Rick.
		Cerebus was relatively inactive in Jaka's Story, but he's positively catatonic through most of this book, which revolves around the circumstances surrounding the death of Oscar Wilde, one of the many real celebrities Sim has "borrowed" for his tale.
		Cerebus, who has been sitting on a chair at a tavern through almost all of Melmoth, and fairly sedentary since the end of Church and State, takes flight, metaphorically and literally.

	Cerebus:An Aardvark on the Edge (A Brief History of Dave Sim and His Independent Comic Book) \|\| Americana: The Journal ...
		The fact that Cerebus is an aardvark and everybody else is human, although never mentioned, is just one small thing (although Cerebus is described from time to time as anything from a short midget to a guy wearing a bunny's costume).
		Cerebus' campaign for power eventually wins him the title of Pope of the Eastern Church of Tarim, which in turn leads to a power struggle and eventually a radical power shift from men (Kelvinist) to women (Cirinist) being in control.
		When all is said and done, Cerebus embodies the notion that "absolute power corrupts absolutely." The more powerful he becomes, the more insane he becomes until finally he is brought before The Judge—a being of intense power (though his greatest power is observation)—to prevent the destruction of the entire world through Cerebus' greed.

	Dave Sim
		Basically, Cerebus was the baddest aardvark ever to wield a sword and attempt the Great Ascension, and it's all thanks to Dave Sim's twenty-six years of toil.
		Although it lost focus in the last 100 issues or so, (Cerebus spent about twenty-five issues stinking drunk in the same bar, but that still beats the screenplay weirdness of Latter Days), the tale of the Earth-Pig Born through High Society, Church and State, and Mothers & Daughters was one for the ages.
		From King Julius to Astoria to Elrod the Albino to the mercurial Roach, Sim wove a cast of characters unrivaled in comicdom.

		But the pathos of her parting with Cerebus, who has forgotten her once he sobers up, suggested for the first time there could be some pathos in these tales.
		I definitely think that there was a point where "Cerebus," in the current vernacular, "jumped the shark," but before that point (which I hope to pinpoint as I reread all 300 issues) there was a period of time when this comic book was as the one I most looked forward to reading each month.
		Cerebus is always trying to get gold, but when he gets some, he never knows how to keep it, or expend it in games and drinks (which are the things he loves most to do, besides sleep and raw potatoes)!

	Reflections on Cerebus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The personal-scale calamities befalling Cerebus, ending with his returned to a ruined city in the hands of his enemies, make sense in terms of the metafiction.
		To the extent that the world has a fixed identity, it is not a suitable implement for Sim's efforts at providing Cerebus a moral eduction, and to the extent that it is the setting for this schooling, it cannot have too firm an identity of its own.
		He responded to criticisms of Cerebus' views in Church and State by saying that there was no objective way to prove doctrines like papal infallibility wrong, and that therefore (I'm paraphrasing here) readers who found them distasteful were just being wimps.

	Cerebus the Aardvark: Misogyny -- is Dave Sim mad (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		A recent plot development in the comic book turned on the fact that Cerebus felt that he had been dishonoured because he had not been present at the death of his father but had, instead, been with his lover, Jaka.
		It is perfectly consistent that Cerebus, who has always been represented as a ‘wild man’ or ‘barbarian’ would indeed think this.
		Cerebus lover, Jaka, has had to mutate from being one of the most truly ‘good’ characters in the story to a ‘spoiled, myopic, insensitive, self-absorbed, and self important harlot princess’ in order to make the point that no real man would ever want to marry a woman.

	ToxicUniverse.com - Sim, Dave - - Cerebus Books Review
		Cerebus, earth-pig born, is an aardvark whose philosophy in life is to get much gold.
		He fell madly in love with Jaka, even telling her that, "Cerebus would kill you a yak for supper." Yes, Cerebus always refers to himself in the third person, which is quite funny in and of itself.
		Cerebus was first hired as the Kitchen Supervisor, which actually meant that he was to be Lord Julius' bodyguard.

	Amazon.co.uk: Books: High Society (Cerebus Book 2) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		"Cerebus, Book 2: High Society" (issues #226-50) constitutes the first "novel" in the history of the book and the point at which Sim had clearly moved beyond the idea of Cerebus the Barbarian stage, where it was basically a strange animal walking around in a world that was drawn in the style of Barry Windsor-Smith.
		Actually, it seems Cerebus is now a ranking diplomatic representative of a southern city-state and if you think the aardvark is in over his head, wait until Astoria shows up and starts dispensing political advice.
		Besides, Cerebus' reconciliation with Jaka is more touching than their poignant parting, the Regency Elf shakes up things nicely at inopportune times, and I love liberty as much as the next person raised in a free democratic society.

		When Cerebus is hailed as the prophet of a new male-centric religion, he leads a revolution against the matriarchy and establishes a new patriarchy.
		In the lower city, Cerebus is once again the guest of the Countess who’s looking after the Secret Sacred Wars Roach and his sidekicks, the McDrew Bros. She tells him about her relationship with Weisshaupt and delivers the means for Cerebus to destroy Thrunk.
		Cerebus interviews Astoria in prison who tells him that if she is killed, Cirin will invade and attack with her army.

	Cerebus the Aardvark Radio Episodes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Back in the day, when Cerebus was the hottest thing in comics (early 1980s), Shockwave (a Minneapolis science fiction oriented public radio program on KFAI, 90.3 FM) produced radio adaptations of the first six issues of Cerebus.
		If any of said creative parties object, I will gladly make all of this go away (although fat chance of that, I hear Dave has gone off his nut and believes the internet to be the work of the devil, which it may well be, but that's beside the point).

		Cerebus wanted Jaka, but only when he could not have her, and when he could have her he was too busy campaigning for power to notice.
		"You said you'd wait forever for Cerebus…" he says to Jaka at one point, referring to their first meeting when he was drugged against his will so he would not remember her.
		"Cerebus is not driving ANYone crazy," he tells Dave who replies, "Well…actually… you might be surprised at WHO you're driving crazy" (195-96).

	Dave Sim :: Gerhard :: · CEREBUS · (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		CEREBUS began in December 1977 and concludes in March 2004 at issue 300, witht the death of the title character.
		It is my attempt to by-pass one of the major faults of comic books (and strips, for that matter); the fact that the characters never age or change and that most attempst at change can be summed up as gimmicks and temporary modifications introduced for the purpose of boosting sales.
		In some story-lines, Cerebus is a central figure and a driving force behind the events taking place.

	Graphic novel review - Cerebus: High Society - Sim
		We follow Cerebus as he climbs the ladder of political power, aided and abetted by Astoria, who attempts to manipulate Cerebus to her own ends.
		Naturally Cerebus' isn't really interested in power but Astoria tells him that it is usually accompanied by vast wealth, which is more than enough to persuade him to do whatever she wants.
		By the end of this book there's no doubting that Cerebus is no longer the Conan pastiche he started out as, but a timeless piece of political satire.

	Amazon.co.uk: Books: Cerebus (Cerebus, Book 1) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Started in the late 70's, Cerebus starts as a parody of the fantasy novels and films of the time.
		Dangerously cool, murderously good with a sword and 'Third greatest bowman in the land,' Cerebus is everything needed to make a fantasy barbarian hero in the classic sense, all wrapped up in a 3 foot body covered in fur that stinks when wet.
		The change of cerebus from a cartoon joke to a physical entity is also seen in the story lines as well as the quality of the graphics.

		Volume two of the Cerebus the Aardvark series, High Society, is the beginning of the main Cerebus story line and one of the finest graphic novels ever published.
		Once Cerebus gets ahold of some power, he finds he likes it very, very much, and this will be a major factor in stories to come.
		As Cerebus realizes his cash flow problem can be solved by becoming prime minister he begins a political journey hindered and helped by all around him...the humour comes so fast and furious be sure you take your time reading.
