"We don't know what it is, but it's ALIVE!" was always, and continues to be, one of my favorite Cerebus jokes.
"Sure, it's an aardvark--an earth-pig born--but why does it have to be so...so...so...well...whatever it is?
I mean, it was RUDE to me. And, it eviscerated my friend Joe, just for asking it what it was."
