The Dave Sim Misogyny Page - and a recent
Onion interview.
I find Dave Sim (comic book artist, notable for long-running, multiplevolume
Cerebus) to have deeply troubling, almost poisoned
ideas about women.(despite his efforts, these bitter screeds are almost unexplainable,unless someone here can explain them, that is - please!)Beware if you've never read them. And laugh with me, an apparentlyweak male-feminist (and lovin it!) if you have. Viva la Void.

Is Dave Sim going mad? Speculation has been running rampant in the Interweb comic book community that Dave Sim, writer and artist of
Cerebus, arguably one of the greatest comic book series of all time, has
lost his mind. Granted, many of Sim's
essays have been
misogynist, and he has publicly challenged
Bone creator Jeff Smith to a fist fight for a somewhat trivial slight, but that is hardly evidence of insanity. Has he crossed the line from extremist to madman? Is his writing a Swiftian satire or, as one critic called it, the
Mein Kampf of misogyny?
