the trio in the foreground look disproportionately large, but it's actually the camera lens...might need to change that or cheat and make them smaller

Will need to fix the file and rerender as we did something wrong with the lights flickering in the background. This is of course not MegaRender's fault.

CEREBUS NEWS

"Comics Beat" covers CEREBUS ARCHIVE NUMBER ONE -calls the series "highly eccentric and yet amazing 300 issue comic" http://comicsbeat.com/kickwatcher-cerebus-archive-number-one/

Article by Andrew Hickey: "Cerebus may be the most influential comic of its time on today’s culture — everything from Breaking Bad to Hannibal, every current TV show that relies on a planned, multi-season, story arc, is essentially the grandchild of Cerebus — and if Sim had achieved nothing else with his comic, that would in itself be enough"
http://mindlessones.com/2014/05/06/cerebus/

Recent previous article by Andrew Hickey: "There are only two opinions anyone holds about Sim’s magnum opus. Either they think it’s one of the greatest artistic achievements of all time, or they haven’t read it."
