[zambot3]

Who would've thought that the Fantastic Four would be more interesting than this?I bet all the people in the audience fell asleep.

wow. he's cool. kind of like Charles Manson or William Burroughs--He's got his own take on things... like to know Sim's take on the "Apocrypha"--I think that stuff is the REAL bible...

[SuenteusPo]

Like most Christians, the Apocrypha doesn't count. Same goes for most of the Hadiths on the Muslim side.

"yoohoo"??? it's usually pronounce "yahway" down here in these parts

[SuenteusPo]

Right. But it's pronounced YahWeh because the actual spelling, YHWH, is not pronouncable. To be humorous, he had Cerebus inject vowels into the name, "Os" instead, hence YhooWhoo.

Reading Cerebus is a real joy. In addition to amazing art and writing, you also get to see the evolution of the mind of genius. He makes alot of jabs at religion in the early issues, and yeas later he devotes entire graphic novels to his interest and faith in the Abrahamic religions.

[SuenteusPo]

Ineed. Whether you agree or disagree with his positions, it's an incredibly intimate experience.

fascinating to hear Sim explain what was going on in his head as he wrote the most bizarre portion of his epic comic...
