Cerebus #43

In "Election Night," Cerebus finds himself reluctantly drawn into the political fray, despite his usual disdain for public appearances. As the campaign heats up, he encounters Elrod and watches in disbelief as Lord Julius' goat gains an unexpected lead—only for the race to end in a surprising tie, with a single vote unaccounted for. Written and illustrated by Dave Sim, this issue captures the absurdity and tension of democracy through the lens of a surreal, character-driven story, with Sim’s distinctive art and lettering shaping every page. The cover, also by Dave Sim, perfectly mirrors the issue’s satirical tone.
