One man's trek through his 46 longboxes continues. Completely at random, and with no game plan, I have happened upon Cerebus. This will be the first issue of Cerebus I have ever read. I question the wisdom of starting on issue #241, but I do as the random number generator tells me.
Cerebus: A Diablog
cereblog.org 1/7/2009 — Ah, winter 1977. Sadly, neither of us Cerebloggers had yet been born, and so we cannot nostalgically recall what it was like when Cerebus first came out, only that it was a long, long time ago. I say this not to make anybody feel old , but to ...

the sex element: yes, please. eww, not you.
hoodedutilitarian.blogspot.com 2/12/2009 — My parents enrolling me in nude figure drawing classes starting when I was fifteen was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I hadn’t kissed a boy or girl, but suddenly I found out how sharp light reflecting off completely bare human skin ...
