- [about Sandman]
- |Well, I suppose some would think so. But, alas, it is the only the world's

- |to Cerebus, the path to one true enlightenment.
-
- Oh, gawd.
-
- Somebody told me that Cerebus was awesome & I had to read it.
- So I bought a couple and settled down to browse. I read the
- letters to Dave Sim first. "Dear Dave-- I'm so sorry for my
- 20-page letter <published in High Society # 4 million>. I
- shouldn't have whined that I wasn't getting enough sex from my
- girlfriend, because she left me after she found out about it.
- Which brings me to my current topic..."
-
- I threw the comics out.
-
- your loss. Cerebus transcends comics.
-
- The letters column is kind of like the Net only much much slower.
- Those already enlightend with Net access will recognize the whining by
- college aged male horndogs who dream of a sex life and not be very
- impressed.
-
- or as Kent says "Petty bickering, character assassination, facts made up to suit
- the argument, invincible ignorance, prejudice along all available
- dimensions and some made up ones in addition, unconquorable [sic] stupidity,
- agendas worn proudly as fact inverting filters or fact evading
- blindfolds, or barely disguised sexual innuendos."
-
-
- so pick up a "phone book" or two and read the story. then you can go
- back to the reprint issues for the connie lingus letters if you want.
