The comics hive mind has decided it’s time to talk about Cerebus again. Here’s my contribution to the ongoing critical discourse, in the form of a list of the ten greatest Cerebus characters of all time. But you already knew that from the post’s title — UHOH SPOILER. Enjoy the list; you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll wonder why I’ve broken into your apartment and started rooting through your linen cupboard while hyperventilating.

This is a good list, but missy was revealed to be nothing but a drunken whore near the conclusion of Guys.
When I first started dating my wife, I would talk to her about Cerebunny constantly. She used to think it was charming and funny, but has now come top accept that it is a work I feel quite strongly about, since now I keep her in the basement during daylight hours.
Funny list!
