    Shades of Cerebus

    This strip reminded me of the fantastic conversation that Cerebus, the main character from the comic book of the same name, has a with "Dave", his creator. The specific book, "Minds", written by Dave Sim, touches on a very interesting meta concept. How does one communicate with God, if your every action is dictated by that creator.

    Cerebus is a flawed figure, and he blames Dave, saying something to the extent of "If bread is bad, you don't blame the bread, you blame the baker."

    Dave responds by saying, "But in this situation, you are the baker, and the bread is your life."

    Worth looking into, for people who like somewhat cerebral comics.
