Gerhard is the professional name of a Canadian artist known for the elaborately detailed background illustrations in the comics series Cerebus the Aardvark.

Gerhard jokingly described his job saying that he "draws tables and chairs behind an aardvark".

[citation needed] Later issues of the comic book have covers based on his scenic photos.

Three years after finishing his work on Cerebus, Gerhard ended his professional and personal relationship with Dave Sim.
