But she's the only one I sympathize with in this sequence.jlrobersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10392794912432288906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-18399236467224091562012-03-29T13:48:03.267-05:002012-03-29T13:48:03.267-05:00I find it fascinating that Dave Sim was able to in...I find it fascinating that Dave Sim was able to incorporate the changes he underwent in Cerebus by having his characters undergo changes as well. In other words, he reenvisioned Jaka as a "harlot" where before he admired her. As a result, Cerebus now sees her for what she actually is. It's a neat narrative trick that wonderfully makes up for the fact that Dave Sim's view of Jaka had altered considerably between Jaka's Story and Going Home. That said, she did put Pud's life at risk and she did abort Rick's child without consulting him first. So she's not all that noble to begin with.Eric Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04092745122835543138noreply@blogger.com
