Comics Journal article compares Judge Dredd to Cerebus (see second to last paragraph)
http://www.tcj.com/the-best-comics-of-the-decade-are-all-judge-dredd/

On a side note regarding Cerebus eschewing episodic stories as mentioned in the above article: you could argue that since Cerebus inspired the structure of Babylon 5, which in turn has been said to have influenced the structure of TV shows since....that Cerebus defacto inspired the modern TV golden age cultural landscape:).

This mathematical equation based on Wikipedia:
Showrunner Straczynski has claimed that the multi-year story arc, now a feature of most mainstream televised drama, is the lasting legacy of the series. And has acknowledged Cerebus as his inspiration for the structure of Babylon 5. (There is also a Earth Forces Cerebus Station in the show).
I don't see there possibly being any contention on this and so it is hereby decreed and forever remembered in the annals of history: Dave caused the current golden age of tv!!:)

Is it a "Dave Sim High Society world" and the rest of us are just living in it?

"I don't see there possibly being any contention on this and so it is hereby decreed and forever remembered in the annals of history: Dave caused the current golden age of tv!!:)" - cheeky

I hereby nominate the Peter's Place matchbook for "Most Arcane Piece of Cerebiana." Very impressive.

Tony again said...

"Dave caused the current golden age of tv!!"

Um, 1948-1954 is "current?"

Come on Tony, everybody knows Dave gave Jackie Gleeson his start...

Dave inspired Gleason’s whole, “To the Moon!!!” shtick with the first ascension.

It should probably be called TV's Second Golden Age.

Alright,

Dave also gave "Uncle Milty" his big break by featuring him in "Latter Days."
