Probably the most hilarious comic book character I've ever had the pleasure of reading. A grade 'A' a$$hole, to be sure. Here's one of my favourite passages from the 'Chruch and State' series while Cerebus is the Pope. Forgive me if it is lost in the transcription but there are some out there who will get it...
Woman in crowd holding crying baby to Pope Cerebus: Please bless my child.
Cerebus: Most Holy will bless your child and teach you a valuable lesson about life at the same time. (Holds baby up and coldly states) Bless you.
Cerebus then launches the baby into the crowd like a football.
Cerebus: The valuable lesson is that you can get what you want and still not be very happy.
Woman: My baby! My baby!
Cerebus: You're welcome.

As a result of the Cerebus comic I have long been a fan of various brands of "Gulping" Bourbon. Though I must say I am concerned by the lack of sexual organs.

Here's another snippit I like which describes Cerebus the Prime Minister of Iest attempting to rile his army captain into a frenzy:
"It doesn't take too much imagination to figure out why they did it... you've heard the way they talk about us, haven't you, Pinshaw...? 'Let's not invite the Iestan' one would sniff. 'You are only too right' his friend would giggle while they sip that vile muck river they call wine. 'Those people use goats for wet-nurses, don't they' 'Even worse, my friend, the stupid orifices breed the smelly beasts which would not be bad if they would breed them to each other instead of to their daughters' They would of course laugh at this... then they would turn and clear their nostrils in the direction of the Iestan flag they use to clean out their fireplaces. 'Why not invite the Iestan's wife only, then?' 'His wife? But why invite her?' 'She is such an ugly cow, she could give us sour milk which we could use to make our delicate snobbish sauces'..."
Oh mercy. Genius, I tell you!

Though later he would be called the finest warrior
to enter our gates, at the time, he was but a curiosity...
You see, he stood only five hands high, had a lengthy
snout, a long tail and was covered with short grey fur...
He was, in short.............CEREBUS THE AARDVARK."
How much do you know about Dave Sim the author? I've always wanted to meet him as he seems to be eminently twisted. To bad he spelt Cerberus wrong though... probably for the best.
