Dave Sim’s fighting aardvark

Friday, August 25th, 2006

Dave Sim discusses his fighting aardvark comic, Cerebus, with the CBC in this interview from their archives:

It began as a satire of Conan the Barbarian mixed with Howard the Duck. But over the years Cerebus the Aardvark turned into something much more, an intricate socio-political allegory, an epic labour of love for its creator and eventually, the longest running English-language comic book story ever. In this 1983 radio clip, cartoonist Dave Sim along with his wife and publisher Deni Loubert, discuss his then young comic and its unlikely hero.
