The...Well, I think he'd quit the weed by then. The Christianity seemed to come about while he was writing the last two volumes in the late '90s-early '00s. Up until then he considered himself a humanist and wrote two early volumes with a rather unflattering parody of Catholicism in it. varalys the darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032083859598898676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243012679315072030.post-89456225617046298322014-04-24T23:33:47.585+01:002014-04-24T23:33:47.585+01:00Hi John, yes it's not the greatest defence is ...Hi John, yes it's not the greatest defence is it? The misogyny charge can be levelled in varying degrees across the books in the second half of the series, but because the female characters are good and the stories in general good, I am willing to cut some slack. But the last two books, the penultimate one in particular are so poisonously awful that I'll be coming down quite hard on them. Anyway, I hope you stick with my write-ups, turns out trying to condense the first few volumes into a review is quite tough, but as the books get shorter and more focused, the write-ups should get better.

Imagine if *he'd* said it: "I'm not really all that off-puttingly misogynistic until the last couple of books in the series, and by then you'll hardly even notice it among all my other horrible prejudices!"<br /><br />Looking forward to reading your write-ups and seeing how much of Cerebus I can actually remember!John Toonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16211705422326119054noreply@blogger.com
