Cerebus The Aardvark: Issues #201-#300. Final Thoughts (Repost)

Here’s the final part of the three part saga about my opinions on Cerebus The Aardvark. As with before, if you’re starting here I suggest you read the two previous posts I made, otherwise you’ll be quite lost. (Originally posted to FA on January 24th 2023) I finally got round to finishing off Cerebus and well, it's certainly a thing and I'll get into the various details shortly. But the various flaws that were already present, reach their absolute peak here, so brace yourself for some of Dave Sim's insane points of view and for some extremely questionable narrative choices. Issues #201-#219: We continue from where we last left off with Cerebus eventually making his way to a bar, which is basically ends up being a place where loads parodies of famous people come and go in a sort of revolving door, as Cerebus remains at the bar and eventually comes to own it. Very little happens in the first part as it's just set up for later on in the story arc. Issues #220-#231: Rick eventually shows up at the bar, now much older and a heavy drinker, also showing the mental and physical scars from being imprisoned, which have had a huge impact on his mental sanity, as this is the set up for Rick creating a religion based around his visions and hallucinations from his mental trauma, which include Cerebus as a holy figure. This serves as a good point to bring up one of the more questionable story decisions Dave Sim did in the previous arc. See, at this point Rick and Jaka are no longer together as a couple, as while they were both imprisioned and interrogated, it is discovered that while Jaka was pregnant with Rick's child, she intentionally took something that caused her to have an abortion, because she was worried that having a child would make her ugly (Yes, seriously) and make her work as a dancer impossible. It's during that revelation, that Rick seperates from Jaka and is freed from prison, though the whole ordeal has shaken them both up. Issues #232-#265: Towards the end of issue #231, Jaka shows up and Cerebus decides to leave the bar, wanting to run off with her as he still deeply loves her. Most of this part of the arc is spent with Cerebus and Jaka as they travel around, with the intention of Cerebus wanting to see his parents again, though various things delay them (Mainly Jaka wanting to do loads of shopping and public appearances, because Dave Sim can't write female characters well anymore), they eventually make their way onto a boat that will take them in the direction they need to go. (Caution warning: Suicide Mention) It's here that they meet F. Stop Kennedy, who is 100% a parody version of F. Scott Fitzgerald, who Jaka is almost tempted to leave with after the relationship with her and Cerebus starts to fall apart. Eventually the boat drops them off and they continue towards Cerebus's home, along the way they meet Ham and Mary Ernestway, less parody-versions and more analogues of Ernest Hemingway and his wife Mary. As they make their way across the now snow covered land, Mary tells Cerebus and Jaka of Ham's safaris in Africa (Yes, seriously Africa is shows to be a real place in the world of Cerebus) and is pretty close to Hemingway's real life journal about his last journey into Africa. Though this is written more in a way to describe Mary as an antagonist and is implied to be one of the reasons why Ham takes his own life. Cerebus panics, thinking Mary killed Ham, so he and Jaka flee, almost dying in a severe snow storm. They eventually make their way to Cerebus's home, only to find that his parents died only a few days ago and that he's been shunned by the local community because of his seemingly apparent abandonment of his parents. Cerebus then snaps at Jaka, telling her to "Scram!" and blaming her for the journey taking so long, leaving Cerebus alone once again. Issues #266-#288: This is the second to last arc, as Cerebus plans to head north, he is kidnapped by the Three Stooges (Yes, seriously) as they await some kind of religious revelation from him. This happens because Rick's religious works have grown into a very powerful movement and Cerebus is now considered an important figure within the relgious movement. Most of this arc is used as a way for Dave Sim to spout his religious thoughts and beliefs about the Torah, with Cerebus even becoming a rabbi for a portion of the arc. Eventually Cerebus gives the needed revelation, which inspires Rick's religious movement to overthrow the tyrants controlling Iest and the various other states and nations, along with re-ordering of society, which really shows Dave Sim's thoughts on certain people, but we'll get to that shortly. (Caution warning: General Homophobia, Anti-Feminism and Sexism) Issues #287-#300: Time jumps forward a fair bit after Cerebus wakes from a dream (Which is more of Dave Sim spouting his theorlogical beliefs) and he is now much older and decrepit. Through this arc, we learn that Cerebus eventually had a son called Shep-Shep and that Shep-Shep's mother has taken control of the religion, with her group of "feminist-homosexualist" idealists change society into being pro-Pedophilia, pro-Zoophilia, pro-juvenile drug use and pro-Lesbian motherhood, among other things, which has led to society quickly collapsing. Cerebus tries to have a heart-to-heart coversation with his son, Shep-Shep is unmoved and is completely in line with his mothers beliefs. But pushing it even further as it turns out that Shep-Shep has been conducting genetic experiments. Horrified by this, Cerebus plans to attack his son, but as he grabs a knife and leaps towards the door his son went through, Cerebus trips and breaks his neck, dying alone, unmourned, and unloved. We get a few flashbacks as Cerebus slowly dies, before a bright white light appears and shows nearly everyone Cerebus has known is waiting for him on the other side, but as Cerebus gets closer, he sees that Rick isn't among them and quickly realizes that he is being taken to hell, he begs and prays to god, but is soon dragged off into the light and into hell. Extras: With the 300 issues came a few well drawn slides of animation of what I can only assume would've been pitched as either a film or tv series, though either the pitch was dropped or never finalized, so you're just left with what could've been. Besides that there are a few issues of various comic and graphic novel creators inserting Cerebus into their works, which include both Spawn and the original TMNT comics, I can assume those were done before Dave Sim completely burnt his bridges with nearly everone he knew. Good bits; The art is still absolutely fantastic, despite everything Dave Sim is still able to do some really good stuff and I have no idea how Gerhard managed to put up with him for so long, though I fully understand why he sold his stake in Aardvark-Vanaheim, to get the hell away from Dave Sim. The rest: Dave Sim is an absolute gob-shite, never have I gone from being excited to read the next part to being so relieved that I finished it. I am extremely glad that someone (Possibly Dave Sim himself) uploaded everying onto Archive. org, because I would've regretted giving him any of my money. My final thoughts are; Read from issue #26-#52, the rest you can absolutely ignore. Dave Sim is a very talented person and does deserve his place, along with Cerebus, in both comic book history and late 20th century literature history, but I say that with a huge asterisk as he is possibly one of the most sexist and homophobic people I have ever seen. I do still like Cerebus as a character, though he is going to be forever tainted by Dave Sim's fuckery. I read the full series here: https://archive.org/details/cerebus.....Cerebus%20001/ It contains every issue and the extras I mentioned above. Maybe in the next 30-40 years, Cerebus will get a re-evaluation and be given it's proper place, out of the bin of obscurity, but it's unlikely to happen while Dave Sim continues to be an arsehole. Thank you for reading and possibly joining me on this journey. If I'm factually wrong or have said something you disagree with, do let me know via a comment or DM me on either here or Twitter. Cheers.
