    Biography

    Gerhard was born on April 14, 1959 in Edmonton, and started his association with Dave Sim's Cerebus with issue #65 (August 1984), and continued through its conclusion with #300 in March, 2004. The series was written by Dave Sim, who also drew the foreground figures, and had worked on the self-published series largely solo for the first 64 issues. Gerhard jokingly described his job saying that he "draws tables and chairs behind an aardvark". He is also fond of photography (some later issues of the comic book have covers based on his scenic photos) and sailing.

    Effective December 31, 2006, approximately three years after finishing his work on Cerebus, Gerhard ended his professional and personal relationship with Dave Sim. Subsequently, Dave Sim has been in the process of purchasing Gerhard's share of Aardvark-Vanaheim.

    92 Days Of Rain

    by: Corey Hart

    [Oo-o]
    [Oo-o]
    Devastation in the gardens
    A virgin beast betrayed cries out in need
    What have you done to my existence?
    Where evolution now evolves from greed
    When the moon above the jungle
    Wipes the final tear from heaven's eyes
    Who will save the children? The children cry
    (92 days of rain) falling down on me
    There will be
    (92 days of rain) driving us to our knees
    (Wash away the hunger)
    Baby won't you heel our souls
    (God looks back in anger at the roads we've chose)
    O, I will always believe in the light
    Sun's gonna shine
    I know it will one day, I know
    From the bible like Noah before us
    Where today march all the prophet's men?
    Selfish my compassion
    All my reasons, all my ambivalence
    Tell me why I turn my face
    For shelter by the easy shore?
    Tell my why all this crying I ignore?
    (92 days of rain) falling down on me
    There will be
    (92 days of rain) driving us to our knees
    (Wash away the hunger)
    Baby won't you heal our souls
    God looks back in anger at the roads we've chose
    (92 days of rain) falling down on me
