Dangerfield never really had a huge profile down here in Australia, so I never picked up on it. It's an interesting point that there are doppelgangers from our world in Estarcion, but they're not the real people, they exist at odds to their actual timelines in our world and they're the public personas that we see them as. It's possible that Cerebus' Estarcion is some kind of alternate earth.<br />There is definitely a parallel between Cerebus' ascension and throwing the baby and it's an excellent point.Elfyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09955473789404631382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801846083942298570.post-57290840245682095752010-11-13T05:50:05.555-08:002010-11-13T05:50:05.555-08:00You mention how Estarcion's future talks about...You mention how Estarcion's future talks about history in our world, and how Estarcion seems to have existed in a world "parallel to our own, but never really intrudes upon it." What about the dopplengangers - so far of Groucho Marx / Lord Julius, Rodney Dangerfield / Lord Rodney, Mick Jagger / Prince Mick, et al. have existed in that world's history. Perhaps that world is more like an echo of this world (or vice versa)? <br /><br />Also - this ascension by Cerebus reminds me of the baby throwing scene: you can get what you want and still not be happy. Cerebus got his ascension, but still wasn't very happy.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04070671522440242311noreply@blogger.com
