Well, a few of my friends of the blog are going through the Hard Times, and thinking about their situations has put me in the mood to revisit the Cerebus phonebook that deals with the kind of situations my pals are in: Melmoth.
And I think we all need to know that the Hard Times can and do end, and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how long and dark it may seem...
So, Cerebus: Melmoth...

To Whomever is Going through a Rough time,
I hope things improve as soon as possible.
Regarding this sequence, one of the best from Melmoth; and a pleasure to see the team of Dave and Gerhard meshing so perfectly, from the character expressions and body language, the slightly cartoony look and especially the exagerrated musculature of the worker in front of Gerhard's meticulous and wonderful background/setting.
What I find interesting is how on a first read, it's a good bit of comedy in a very grim book, the dusting of Cerebus and the Missy, the nonchalant response from the worker, all of it is quite good. Years later all that remains the same but there's the additional level of simple kindness from one person to another and at this point in the "short story" of Cerebus, seems especially significant.
Cheers,
A Fake Name
Man. This ol' world needs a remastered "Melmoth."
