It&#8217;s a monthly comic book, written by Dave Sim and drawn by Sim and his collaborator Gerhard, which has been coming out more or less once a month since the late 1970s. But Sim has said for decades that the storyline would end with issue 300. So, just as a matter of dogged persistance, <i>Cerebus <\/i>is an impressive achievement. It was also one of the best-written, best drawn comics ever &#8211; until Sim seemed to go <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theabsolute.net\/misogyny\/sim.html\">quite mad with misogyny<\/a>. Oh, well, at least the cartooning is still good.<\/p>\n<p>The impact that <i>Cerebus <\/i>has had on me as a cartoonist is immeasurable.  I&#8217;m probably not going to comment on <i>Cerebus<\/i> critically, though, until I have time to purchase and read the whole thing &#8211; I&#8217;m currently several reprint volumes behind.
