…just might be coloring his differing assessments of his own character.
“I admire the character (of Jaka) far more than any of the other characters in the book…Jaka on the other hand is someone I would happily spend a lot of time with. She embodies those qualities I always look for in a woman. She has a very simple way of thinking for which she is unapologetic. She’s loaded with common-sense and self-confidence. She is direct and has a low threshold for bull-shit. She has virtually no interest in material possessions though she has an appreciation of them. She is almost certainly on the top rung of the karmic ladder and won’t be back for another life-time.” – Dave Sim, Cerebus 114, Sept. 1988
“For the first time he (Cerebus) was able to see Jaka precisely as she was and as she is and as she always would be: a spoiled, myopic, insensitive, self-absorbed and self-important harlot princess.” – Dave Sim, Cerebus 268, July 2001
