Storytime: Cerebus in Hell: Narutobus
>Featuring the Kosplay Kangaroo Kourt holding Cerebus to account for the infamous "Baby Throwing Pages" from Church & State Vol. 1, the 11 panels of which Sim recreates in his early 1980s style. It's an art-style extravaganza!

This is his second Cerebus/Manga mashup, following last year's release of "Cerebus: Akimbo." Shitty scans courtesy of me, please bear with the quality as it's not even 20 pages

I mean it's not exactly well written, but the art is nice...

I've also read that this is a "Manga/glamourpuss mashup," but I haven't read glamourpuss yet so I can't really comment on that

Cerebu- I mean Narutobus isn't wrong here. Pre-timeskip Sakura is a cutie

Back cover shows off alternate covers for the last manga parody. Again, sorry for the poor scans, I got no scanner and essentially no photoshop skills so the cover pages are more shit as I tried to avoid a glare

And that's it! Considering how the last issues of Cerebus drop off, the way this issue goes should be pretty unsurprising.
Thanks for reading!

I'm still kind of amazed Dave Sim read Naruto cause I always thought he never read cared much for manga

also one last thing: this is the 60's strip Sim was referencing at the bottom of this page

Yeah, really makes me wonder what was going on in his head while he read it

I don't think he cares much for the writing, but the technique fascinates him.
The strange Death of Alex Raymond book he did goes into explorations of comic art styles, and I think looking into manga which evolved so separately from American comic art interests him.
Glamourpuss was him studying photorealism by redrawing fashion ads, this is him studying Naruto by redrawing parts of it, the story is secondary to the studying, basically.

No wonder he didn't draw a human protagonist for Cerberus, good lord

feels like sim draws baby yoda cerebus a lot, more than I would expect for what I thought was just a cynical gag

is this a satire? a comedy? a black humour drama?
i genuinely cant tell if its meant to be "funny" or just weird for the sake of weird

It is bizarre. Putting the politics aside, it has a lot of jokes and a bulk of them are alright even. But more than anything it suffers from being very self-indulgent in a way that just doesn't work. Sim's a well-read guy and part of the fun of his work is following along with his deep pulls from literature, film, etc, but this reads halfway like another sermon that you probably can only get maximum enjoyment from if you are on his side. He probably feels he can lean into it as well since the print run is so small (my copy indicates a print run of only 815)
>>149039863
I had assumed it was panels just pasted from the manga, but after reading >>149038406 and observing that the linework is a bit shaky than I would expect from young Kishimoto, it probably is Sim

I remember that one time Sim was reading fan mail and someone wrote in one of those anime with sentence as a title. Sim looked puzzled.

Naruto is a ninja cadet with the ambition to be a leader which is why conservatives like him and Goku. Sakura is the demolitions expert and Sasuke's just the thug whom they're unsure about. I guess Tobirama appeals to conservatives because has an awesome deportation policy and Danzo gets to do all the glowie shit.

It’s a mishmash of him ripping off anime and him complaining about him being cancelled by the woke mafia. Filtered through a brain outright melted by an overdose of acid
