	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 the Aardvark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cerebus and Jaka continue their journey towards Sand Hills Creek, in the company of Ham and Mary Ernestway, characters based upon Ernest Hemingway and his fourth wife, Mary.
		Cerebus spends most of the rest of the book trying to persuade his chief of security, Walter O'Reilly (named after Corporal Walter (Radar) O'Reilly from M A S H) to admit his son, Shep-Shep, with whom he remembers sharing an idyllic father-son relationship.
		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).

	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 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.
		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.

	Bob the Angry Flower
		Cerebus began as a short, smart, mouthy funny animal comic, a well-drawn and funny parody of Conan, all about the gags.
		And then the second huge story arc, Mothers and Daughters, the monumental wrapping-up of all the mythological plot threads, the meeting with God, that is to say Dave Sim, and of course the infamous "Female Void and Male Light" prose sequence in "Reads" that established Sim's new reputation, deserved or otherwise, as a hateful misogynist.
		His life is done and it was an extraordinary life of laughs and gags and rampant assholery and desperate battles and unearthed truths and crazy doddering sidetracks and ridiculously offensive opinions.

	Comic-Book Superstore: Aardvark-Vanaheim: Cerebus
		High points in CEREBUS include the introduction of Lord Julius, the dictator of Palnu, who looks, acts, and talks just like a certain cigar-smoking, mustachioed comedian; Jaka, Cerebus's one true love; Elrod the Albino, an innept swordsman; and the Cockroach, the-mother-of-all-superhero-parodies and "inspiration" for the much-later TV and comic character--the Tick.
		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.
		Cerebus attempts to regain his lost throne amidst warnings of a larger crisis.

	Cerebus the Aardvark
		Cerebus keeps his origins private, but over time details about him have gradually emerged.
		His species are very rare (only three are known to exist, the other two being Cirin, Cerebus' enemy, and Sentius Po, his would-be mentor), and hemaphroditic, with sexual organs of both genders (though in Cerebus' case an incident with a kitchen knife during his youth has rendered him unable to impregnate himself).
		Cerebus wants to eventually ascend to meet his god, a being called either Terim or Tarim (and it is the race to do this that brings him into opposition with the similarly-goaled Cirin), and he is prophesied to die unloved, unmourned and alone.

	Cerebus the Aardvark Review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Cerebus is forced to re-evaluate his life and his choices as the ascension deposits him in the outer reaches of the solar system and he's got no one but Dave for company.
		Cerebus finally gets the point and asks to be put back on Earth (or Estarcion - the two are pretty much interchangeable by now) in a little bar that he always liked, where he plans to spend the rest of his days.
		Cerebus, for his part, is mostly just trying to get rid of Rick so he can start the voyage back to his home town to see his parents.

	Cerebus: The End (Udolpho)
		Alright, in Cerebus (the first volume) Cerebus the Aardvark takes a job as Kitchen Staff Supervisor in charge of security for Lord Julius, who looks and talks like Groucho Marx and who clings to power by contriving to be the only person who knows what is going on.
		Cerebus ultimately destroys Weisshaupt and ascends to the moon where a caustic, all-knowing judge informs him that he will die alone and unmourned and that the solar system will eventually be destroyed when someone pushes a button and blows up the sun.
		At which point Cerebus returns to Earth and finds that an army of belligerant feminists has overrun Iest and that men, now the property of women, are more or less confined to pubs.

	hyaroo: The Cerebus Syndrome
		Cerebus, then, originally started out as a completely un-serious (and pretty bad) parody of Conan, where most of the humor came from the fact that instead of a tall, rugged man, the sword-swinging barbarian was a three-foot-tall antropomorphic aardvark named Cerebus.
		Cerebus was going to be more than a parody, it was going to be a big, long-running story about the life of the title character, which would run for three hundred issues and end with an old Cerebus on his death-bed.
		True to its name-giver, the Cerebus Syndrome is never intended from the start; it generally comes about when the creator after some time either gets tired of being light and silly or suddenly, through something that happens in the storyline, sees ways of doing different and more dramatic things.

	Amazon.com: Cerebus, Volume 1: Books: Dave Sim (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Cerebus was a lot of things in his 300 issues of comic life, but he started out as a parody of Robert E. Howard's Conan right about the time that low-grade sword & sorcery was hitting the big time.
		Ironically, with the possible exception of some of the Marvel Comics material, Cerebus was leagues better than most of the stuff from that era that was pawned off as Conan (such as the wretched pastiches that Carter and de Camp passed off alongside the REH stories in the paperbacks).
		From his sword Seersucker (which Cerebus smashes in their first fight) to his Foghorn Leghorn voice, Elrod's banter with Cerebus is a great source of comedy, and the alterations in their relationship as the book goes on are ever weirder and more intricate.

		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.
		For the record I consider "High Society" to be the high water mark of Cerebus and the justification for giving this first volume five stars as well is because the historical value of watching how Sim turns his funny animal comic book into a first rate socio-political satire becomes a key part of the equation.
		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.

	The American Spectator
		Sim once made a bravura eight-page sequence of a broken-legged Cerebus trying to climb a huge staircase in complete darkness say surprisingly much, with nothing but panel after panel of differently-divided solid fl ink with his lettering of Cerebus' thoughts and words, incredibly revealing of mania, panic, relief, comedy, and self-doubt.
		Cerebus the religious leader arranged the public executions of women who didn't meet the approval of a gathered crowd of men.
		Cerebus is in fact as grand as any real palace -- massive, daunting, and dazzling, big enough to live in, the stronghold of someone who is truly master of his domain, the domain of comic book storytelling.

	Dave Sim :: Gerhard :: · CEREBUS ·
		Put as simply as possible, CEREBUS is my attempt to document a life for twenty-six years and three hundred issues.
		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.

	deseretnews.com \| 'Cerebus' comic book a publishing pioneer
		The most fortunate development in "Cerebus" came about with a chance meeting in the early 1980s between Sim and another Canadian artist, Gerhard, who came aboard with his remarkably disciplined, crosshatched inkwork that filled the previously empty backgrounds of Cerebus' world with beautiful architecture and classic interiors.
		Starting Cerebus' career as a "Conan the Barbarian" parody, Sim evolved his warrior aardvark into a lover and a fighter, a prime minister and then a pope, all of which provided Sim the perfect foil to explore topical issues over the years.
		From the beginning, Sim said that he saw Cerebus as a figure who, unlike any other comic creation you can name, aged and evolved as he was bashed about by the ups and downs of life.

	Cerebus the Aardvark Radio Episodes
		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 the Aardvark - Don Markstein's Toonopedia
		Cerebus and Elfquest are generally considered the two pioneers that sparked the self-publishing movement in comics — and of the two, Cerebus was self-published first, by several months.
		Initially, the formula was simple — place the Aardvark character in a setting that allowed Sim to draw as much as possible like comics artist Barry Windsor-Smith, whom he greatly admired.
		Since Smith was best known for his work on Conan the Barbarian, a Conan-like setting, full of wizards and monsters and swords and taverns and ancient royal courts and beautiful wenches and whatnot (the stuff so aptly parodied a few years later in Groo the Wanderer), was chosen.

		These are the first adventures of Cerebus the Aardvark which I began in the pages of his comic book in December of 1977.

		"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.
		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.
		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.

		Cerebus is one of a kind in the comics industry.
		At the end of Rick’s Story Jaka turns up and convinces Cerebus to take her with him to his childhod home Sand Hills Creek which bodes particularly badly as we were all, reader and lead character alike, instructed by Dave that this path was fraught with danger during part four of Mothers and Daughters.
		Occasionally the back of Cerebus is as interesting as the front, for some time I got all my ideas about what to buy from the Cerebus preview where Sim would run ten pages or so of whatever he was reading that was new out at the time.

		It is up to The Spirit to try and escort Cerebus to the jail when the aardvark refuses to pay the fine to settle his sentence.

	A Comic A Day . . .: Cerebus the Aardvark #53
		Cerebus is perhaps the most highly respected creator driven comic book of the modern age, if not of the entire medium.
		Although Cerebus #53 was one of many cheap, random buys from the dinged-or-damaged indie bin at Comic Con, a refuge for samples of series beyond the mainstream, I did encounter Cerebus once before from his cameo in an early issue of Spawn.
		Cerebus could have been a platypus of all things, but the commentaries explored through his adventures are universal tenets that exceed any genre of comics.
