I know this isn't the consensus, but I really like Rick's Story, if only for the art. Particularly Rick's hallucinations, which we begin to see here.

Thanks, OP.

Oh snap. For some reason I though that was Bear.

Thanks OP. I’m curious to see where this will go.

>She's basically an unhappy person.
Despite myself, I'm impressed by the elegance of Sim's thought-cancelling clichés - if Jaka is an unhappy person by nature, then it's her own fault for being upset, and whatever Viktor said to her is inconsequential. Come to think of it, that essentialism is really at the heart of all his character work... which does a lot to explain why and how he builds so much complexity out of simple concepts.

Thanks for posting, OP. See you next time.

It really isn't noticeable until the lipstick's on.

I always thought there was supposed to be a middle part that we didnt see cause it just went under his nose. Now im not sure if its supposed to be that, or literal.

I assumed it was one mouth, fused into his snout, with two lips on either side.
Anyway finished reading this part.
Better than the last ten issues, that's for sure. There's at least some sense of progression and character building/exploration going on. I liked Cerebus' split conversations and his relationship with Bear coming full circle here. I liked seeing Joanne again. Guys is getting into that personal feeling that Jaka's Story had which is nice, but it still isn't hitting the same highs JS did and some parts are still quite filler-like. Overall, the second half is an improvement over the first.
As a side note, it felt so weird getting allusions to main story again after so long without them. It only illustrated further how Guys was divorced from the rest of the series.
My opinion on the art in Guys remains mostly the same, except it's not so cluttered while being everywhere anymore, which is a plus.
There's only one issue of Rick's Story here but the art is actually outstanding. I love the compositions for the drunk visions. The demonic Cerebus looked creepy and vicious, as it should have. Really want to see more.
Thanks, OP.

Weird to think that back in the early issues, one of Cerebus’s ‘big goals’ was to get his own tavern. That didnt last long as a focus but that was a dream of his for a while.

This comic can really hit you with trippy art in places you weren’t expecting. The visuals all have a strong purpose beyond just looking cool though, they portray mood and perception very well. In some conversations it’s easy to visualize an animated version of what’s going on, but then there’s all this crazy panelling and pagework and techiques real specific to this medium.

>get to spend your days getting drunk with the boys in taverns
>women desperate for cock will settle for anyone
>don't have to fight in wars or kill for a living
A Cirinist-run society doesn't seem that bad to me.

bump for reading

You're a second-rate citizen with limited rights and mobility who is expected to be subservient to his wife. Bars exist to contain and slowly kill you. It only looks like a happy existence, the novelty would wear off very quickly.

What else is new?
