I don't think anyone on youtube has given Cerebus this level of attention and scrutiny, keep up the good work.

A topic suggestion for the coming decades: Herge and his stories of Tintin. Herge has bit of a character arc, going from stereotypical and problematic representations of culture, and eventually becoming somewhat jaded but more worldly towards the end. I think Herge gets good roughly around "Cigars of the Pharoah", but perhaps Strange Brain Parts has a different perspective on it all.

So good to see Cerebus get the critical attention it deserves.

Besides the comic tropes video you are the main reason why I got into cerebus and it's creator Dave sim. I have never read a series such as cerebus. From humble beginnings as a sword and sorcery parody to a phenomenal series that satirizes politics and religion to a sad reflective of Dave sims life and beliefs. It was one rollercoaster of a read. And honestly I don't regret it. I will always cherish my experience and your videos on this underappreciated series, heck of all your videos not just the cerebus ones. Thank you for everything. Keep doing what you're doing.

These were my favorite Cerebus issues. The part when he asks the guy to give the prime minister his hand had me rolling laughing when I first read it.

Your channel has always had some of the most insightful reviews and video essays on comic books and graphic novels in all of KZfaq. I hope Strange Brain Parts keeps growing it's audience and getting the views it deserves because you really are one of the best. Keep at it, my friend. 👍🏻

Just slightly to the side of the discussion in the video, but striking me again and again while watching it, is the fact that Dave Sim is a hell of an artist.

"High Society" was also the name of a pornographic magazine on the shelves of newsstands about the same time as this comic's release, and I don't believe that was a coincidence.

Oh this is an unexpected treat!

This just made my week!

Yippee Skippy! I watched the old video on cerebus and the issues 1-25 but I just now noticed there are two more I get to watch back to back! I'm so excited. I'll remember to pay closer attention to the channel now that I know more are coming

Yessss a new Cerebus vid, it's such an interesting topic to dissect, worts and all.

I find your work concise, informative and illuminating. Thanks.

I miss your, “Untill, next time” endings.

This is probably the video on Cerebus I've been waiting to see!

Love your channel

Good job 👍 I look forward to the next video.

Really, really nice breakdown of High Society.

Aww hell yes! I love your dissection and insight on this truly bizarre and problematic comic.

Great episode! Though I could do with a little more comment on the art, I like that you included the business side of things and other 'meta' information. Keep up the good work.

Another great episode. Cerebus is fascinating, even tho I've no intention of reading it

Some of the best comics ever produced!

Amazing video! This Cerebus deep-dive series had singlehandedly sparked a passion in me to read the series myself. This episode coincided with the start of the arc for me. Really excited for the future of the channel!

Such thoughtful, incisive, and well-realised breakdowns. Thanks for all your hard work to date, it's much appreciated. Please delve more into Cerebus, particularly episodes on Church & State (either/both parts), Jaka's Story, Mothers & Daughters ('Flight', 'Women' & 'Minds'), & Guys...mostly because I'm struggling to find physical copies, and it's taking a while to read them online!

Good stuff

thank you

Long time♡

Might I recommend an obscure Alan Moore comic? Albion. It is a crossover between various old British comic book characters owned by IPC.

I love love LOVE all of your videos on Cerebus. I read the first 1/3 of Cerebus a few months ago and loved High Society the most out of everything. Are you planning to cover the Church and State arc and anything afterwards? Question for you also... have you seen Kid Leaves Stoop's recent "Spongeboy Mop" video where it actually does an abridged reading of Cerebus #104? I watched it last night and less than 24 hours later I see this video... very cool timing. Interesting seeing Cerebus being mentioned in the same breath as SpongeBob of all things. Great video as always. Keep up the good work.

I love the way you say saga ;)

great video as always man! did you ever consider to make one of these for kick ass?

Is there a chance the Marvel event series you were doing awhile back might come back? I wanted to know what was next in the order after Civil War!

“Something fell” out of bed, eventually

Please do your take on mothers and daughters ❤️🙏❤️🫣

Look it those comic book covers! Sweet baby Jesus

Is your little intro fanfare the end of a Beatles or King Crimson song? It sounds familiar. And it sound like the Mellotron. Cheers!

I'm not sure where you get that the albatross was made of gold. The detail on it looks like a porcelain statue. The McGrews say they found a worthless duck statue in the boat. If it was gold, they would mnt have said that. When Cerebus throws it into the street, it shatters, which gold wouldn't do. I never thought it was anything other than some kind of ceramic.

ok but why do I kind of want to play The Regency Elf in a Cerebus live-action movie?😅also putting my name down hypothetically to audition for Serna/Cirin (probably would be a more challenging and interesting role but less easy and fun)

As much flack as Cerebus gets throughout its whole run it is one of the best examinations of toxic masculinity in comics. Watching Cerebus slowly realize how ineffectual his gruff demninor and fighting skills are in this new high society and then having it all conclude with his petty tantrum with Aristoria at the end provides an interesting contrast to Cerebus as the petty Tyrant in the first half of church and state. This all comes to a head in Minds where the whole hero narrative of Mothers and Daughters is completly deconstructed. Though I'm in the minority who quite enjoys the latter half of Cerebus (with the exception of the dull and tonally jarring Latter Days Arc). Its here where we really start to see Dave's greatest (and worst) innovation which is using text forms outside of the standard comic form (line by line dialog, in universe texts, ect) which allowed for far more content and textual depth then most comics but would also devolve into the infamous Torah analysis.

How close are we to the misogynistic breakdown. I know it's in here somewhere and I want to brace myself.

I hated the way you said Saga.
