From:

I liked Lovecraft's description of the moral lesson of Frankenstein. Reminds me of the small child who concluded that the moral lesson of "Red Riding Hood" is "Don't gulp your food."

Of course I've heard of Cerebus. I read it avidly for some time. For about the first quarter of its existence, it was the best comic I have ever read. Then it suddenly switched gears, and became the worst comic I have ever read. Eventually I gave up, tried it again, gave up again, and nothing I've read about what happened after that convinces me it changed back. However, this article is very good on describing Sim's artistic virtues.

Exploring the mindsets of wrongdoers strikes me as a useful educational project. You can't counteract something if you don't understand why it's being done.

Very cool, if true
