CEREBUS NEWS (kinda)
This Friday a sarcastic talking raccoon and a sarcastic talking duck in Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" will launch into theaters -hey, can a sarcastic talking aardvark be far behind?:) The latter "Howard the Duck" comic was the main inspiration for Cerebus.
http://www.businessinsider.com/guardians-of-the-galaxy-howard-the-duck-2014-7

(At least two, that i know of, from the Cerebus Animation team have worked on the film: John Chen and Roy Margalit)

And kinda apropos the creator of Howard the Duck fought for his "Creator Rights" with "Destroyer Duck" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destroyer_Duck

And while we're at it let's not forget those 4 sarcastic talking turtles that were inspired by Cerebus himself:) Coming soon to a theatre near you as well
