The Perry Bible Fellowship

I was reminded of the great Perry Bible Fellowship yesterday, and good timing too, as the site has just had a recent makeover and change in URLs. The Internet-published comic strip by Nicholas Gurewitch is surreal, cruel, ironic, and probably the most consistently funny comic strip out there (on or off the newspaper page).

    This is amazing! This is my first introduction to this stuff. Reminds me a little of Michael Kupperman’s sense of humor, but the art’s a lot more accomplished. He can emulate just about any style! He got Edward Gorey down to the lettering. There desperately needs to be a book collection of this stuff.

    It takes a brave, brave paper to print this strip – and it looks like he only writes when the muse strikes… which is why each and every one is a pure golden treasure of funny!

    This guy’s stuff is GREAT. I followed a link to his site ages ago and forgot the URL, so thanks for posting this. His humour is the best I’ve seen since Larson and Watterson.

    Newspaper strips are dead. Long live PBF! Someday when there is enough material (or are there already) PBF should be compiled as book. I’d buy it definetely…

    For those who are interested, Nicholas is putting together a PBF book for Darkhorse which is supposed to be out this fall. However, he’s dragging his feet! Do not hesitate to e-mail him and push a little… gently.

    Wait wait wait what? The Guardian is printing him? This is awesome. Also I really like the Mimes comic, in case anybody cares.

    Yes yes yes. We all love him blah blah blah. However, there is often the sign of wear and tear among really funny people where they start to resort to base sexual fantasies and the like because some of the earlier spark is being driven back by pressure to deliver. The recent boy scout strip, for example, is not funny – just seedy. I am not being some freaky killjoy, but pointing out a basic thing. Nicholas has a superb talent but must be careful that he doesn’t just resort to these easier methods of getting material out. I am commenting as a sympathetic and respectful artist and not a some hateful smash-monger. His best stuff is good solid observation where a craziness takes over. More of that please, less of the other.
