One of my favorite things about Cerebus is the fact that I know I will *never* know the full story. When Dave Sim pulls out some new subplot or character, we may find out the *truth* about it in the next issue, or in 10 or 12 issues, or maybe it will all come out somewhere in the 180's, or the 290's.... or maybe we'll never *really* know. But we can guess, and try to "match wits" with him until 2003. I find it all extremely fascinating and endlessly entertaining. Remember, if Sim ties up the Albatross matter, or the Cirinist/Kevellist/Illusionist/Weisshaupt/?/?/? power struggle now, or even in a few years, he won't have it to spring on us down the road, and he's got another 242 issues to go. Be patient... Also, a word of advice: if your collection is scattered about, by all means get it together, blow off a weekend sometime and reread the whole damn thing from issue 1 to now (or at least from the beginning of High Society). You will be amazed at how much more you enjoy it, and how many more details you remember, when you get it all in one sitting. The many letters of the past several issues have attested to this fact. And to all of you on the net who have no idea of what this conversation is about: go to your dealer/best friend/roommate/whoever and buy/borrow/steal/ etc. as many back issues of Cerebus the Aardvark as you can. You will be hooked for life (or until issue 300). This is, in my humble opinion, the *best* thing in comics today. And it comes out monthly, unlike (grunt growl snarl) SOME alternative publications... End of, I say, end of plug. Endorsement, that is. -- "Out of the void, into your mind..." >From the ever-weary fingertips of... Walter Scott Yale University yale-comix!scott
