“That’s sixteen books. More heavy on science than usual. It breaks down to: three adult novels, three children’s novels; six science books; one book of short stories; three sociology/history books. I’m collecting about twenty comics on a regular basis – not even half of them are monthly. That’s down a lot from a peak of about forty. I expect to go down more, gradually. Probably will be some I’ll keep collecting a long time -- Cerebus, Love and Rockets, a few others.”

When did you stop reading Cerebus? You didn't make it to the end did you?
I didn't make it to the end. I stopped reading when Sim included huge chunks of prose for issue after issue. I bought a few, tried & tried to push my way through his gawdawful prose then gave up and stopped buying it.
I could tolerate his wacky back-up essays, insane & mean as they often seemed, so long as the comic was readable. I could always skip the back matter, I thought.
