That article is surprisingly interesting. One thing I’ve never been able to understand (OK, at least in the last year or so when I’ve read Cerebus from the beginning) is why no one can separate the work form the artist.

Of course, the vein Sim’s working in tends to attract holier-than-thou types and people who strive to show their sympathy/understanding of “the other.” Which is what Sim is writing against (in his essays at least)…
