I think I called this one right ....
I used to really like a comic called Cerebus. It was great parody fun to begin with, rose to serious satire with 'High Society,' and continued to show promise through another half-dozen major story arcs. But Sim went insane, and by the mid-90s, Cerebus was regularly commuting to the moon to talk to various meta-characters that might be God and discovering he was a hermaphrodite. I gave up around issue 200.
So I was reading the Wikipedia entry tonight in idle curiosity over where it all wound up. Here's the bit that occurs in the last issue just before Cerebus dies:
The Sanctuary is under lockdown due to opposition from a new and even more rabidly "feminist-homosexualist" group led by Shep-Shep's mother, whom Cerebus refers to as "New Joanne", which favors such "rights" as pedophilia, zoophilia, juvenile recreational drug use and lesbian motherhood. As a result, social values have undergone a complete breakdown.
Cerebus finally goes to bed despairing of seeing his son again, but Shep-Shep - more correctly, Sheshep Ankh - sneaks into Cerebus' room late that night. Their subsequent conversation shatters Cerebus' last illusions about his son, who is planning to have himself cloned with a lion's body, marry his mother, and rule Egypt as a sphinx-like god.
So yeah, I just saved a whole lot of time :)
