Also, after several months gap I read the second half of Mothers and Daughters, bringing me to Cerebus #200.

I conclude that Victor Davis Dave Sim is:
a) A bitter man who could use some therapy
b) Full of provocative ideas
c) Unable to discern a bundle of facts from a line of reasoning
d) Quite good at knowing what will interest his audience
e) Very aware of just how much cookie to give his audience so they read the other stuff he wants to write

A has increased? Yikes. It's probably been 20 years since I read Cerebus, and even back then, his bitterness was pretty palpable.

When he sneeringly describes a representative Cerebus reader as having his brains slowly guzzled up by a harpy and smiling as he proclaims that there *are* a few good women in the world... Well, it's not a good time, but I gather it's the thin end of his bitterness wedge.

Paraphrased summary of his current worldview: "The world is going to Hell (literally), and it's all the fault of the Feminist-Marxist-Homosexualist conspiracy. I'm the only person who understands God's will, but I'm not 100% convinced that even I am Saved."
