Cerebus continues one as Lord Julius's Kitchen Staff Supervisor in this issue. He learns that the plot against Julius was bigger than he originally thought. This takes them down to the Pits where Cerebus battles a giant snake and thus saves the day.
I forgot to mention it earlier but the art in this series has really hit it's stride in the last several issues. The art is now on par with about the rest of the series. Just solid character design and some good backgrounds. This book has gone from looking pretty rough to looking great over the first few years it's existed. Just for a bit of context. The first issue was dated December 77/January 78 and this issue is dated April 1980.
I've talked at length about the barbarian satire that this series started as. The past two issues have read more like the Hhigh Society arc did. Very political, very much a satire on government with Cerebus having the subtlty of a rapid weasel. Ii believe there will be a few more issues of barbarian hijinks after this but these last 2 issues are a good preview of what Cerebus will become.
Until next time!
