I just read the last issue of Cerebus. That’s it; ain’t any more.

For an insane guy, Dave Sim sure draws a pretty comic. It never stopped being gorgeous. I wish I could say kinder things about it; I am staggered by the weight of it. Thousands upon thousands of pages. There have been few such extended achievements.

When both he and Gerhard are dead, Cerebus will enter the public domain. He has arranged for the negatives to remain with trustworthy custodians, and they will be available to those who wish to reprint any portion of it. The attentive will notice that those two statements are not entirely congruent. Who knows?

I’m going to spoil the end now.

Not particularly -- he's just the best example of someone who lived a good life according to Dave Sim's lights. In particular, at one point he rejected the treacherous lure of sex.

So Cerebus sees Jaka and gives in and goes for it, and then remembers Rick -- who would not have given in -- and realizes he's screwing up.

Ahhh. Okay. I thought there was a prophecy or portent I didn't know about.
