80s Alternative Comics: Cerebus the Aardvark vs. Zot!

August 27, 2025 • Nerdhat Productions • Season 6 • Episode 14

0:00 | 57:53

By Clovis’ beard! This is a strange fight indeed. On one side stands an earth-pig born (who isn’t actually a pig) and on the other stands a sheltered, teenage superhero who finds himself unprepared to face the “real world.” Both fighters meet beautiful women along the way, but only one will succeed in romance. Which will win our contest? Perhaps only Tarim knows….

Join us for round 14 as we review Dave Sim’s “Cerebus” and Scott McCloud’s “Zot!,” two creations which found their origins in the world of 80s alternative comics.
