Sim's decent into misogynistic madness is well known in comic book circles. Cerebus was a pretty fun book before it turned into complicated politcial storyline. Almost mirrors what Star Wars became with the prequels. One still has to hand it to Dave Sim for completing the twenty years he set out to do.
Does Matt Groening really have that much to do with the Simpsons anymore?(Aside from cashing the royalty checks.) I had the impression he handed off the reins and turned his attentions to Futurama long ago.
