Gabe Ostley, artist for DC Comics' The Hammer, draws Cerebus adding: "That early design for Cerebus was wild huh? I still remember seeing my friend Mike Geid in 6th grade drawing Cerebus and it blew my mind. He’s like Garfield, but he has a sword..."

And wait what's that? Did Don Simpson draw my comic book character "Captain Zap" along with the sidekicks "Polly the Bird" and "A-1 the robot" in "War of the Independents"? And what a fantastic honor it was might i add

"War of the Independents" is the brainchild of Dave Ryan who made "USA Today" this week with this cover

Andrew Riley ongoing review series on Cerebus comparing the work to Shakespeare, Steinback and Sylvia Plath
http://www.andrewrilstone.com/2021/01/5.html
and the next part: "Sim is firing on all cylinders: character study, farce, and virtuoso composition that pushes the comic book form to its very limit."

Discussion ensues

Award winning Jesse Lee Herndon continues his Cerebus vlog review series with a new episode every day! Jesse's nearing the end here with issue 267 which has a sort of "Forrest Gump time passage sequence" (30 years pass in one issue!) with Cerebus walking to the end of the coast then turning around and becoming pingponghockeytennis star as Fred Hammer.

Somebody should do a "300 issue Fred Hammer spin off series" as there's 30 years worth of material to cover:)
