Description

Perhaps the most memorable page of the entire series, Cerebus' life lesson about getting what you wish for and still being very unsatisfied. Absolutely jaw-dropping when you read it for the first time, and I can't believe I've had the opportunity to add it to my collection!

Dave Sim once wrote, "Anyway, since I was doing a very broad parody and since Cerebus is about as amoral an individual as you could hope to find on a comic page (oh, you've noticed?), I figured it was time to revisit that classic Cerebus gag of yesteryear, the "baby-throwing page" (the first was bought by Gino Attanassio in San Jose, days after the issue coming out. It is beyond any doubt, the most in-demand Cerebus original of all time. I could have sold it a dozen times in that first month)..."
