I love these twisted little comic strips. Often the jokes are phenomenally wrong, but always fantastic. And you can tell Gurewitch spends a lot of time on his artwork. This'll take you half an hour to read, and you'll feel like a better person for it, because even though you laughed at it, at least you didn't create it. ( )

For fans of the online comic The Perry Bible Fellowship, this book will hold nothing new. This book is an archive of previously published comics. Yet if you are a fan, you'll no doubt be delighted with rehashing these old comics, as its biting, clever humor will catch you off guard again and again.
A great staple of PBF humor is the "things are not quite what they seem" reveal: everything looks sweet and innocent until the final panel, where we see that something dark and/or morbid has happened.

The art is very well drawn, and the colorful images often contrast with dark humor. Sometimes the artist borrows from other styles to parody them. It is amazing how well the artist can mimic styles like Edward Gorey.

If you have a dark sense of humor, this book is for you. ( )

Nick Gurewitch is the undisputed master of the short comic strip. ( )

don't buy this for the juvenile collection. truly funny, but not for kids. okay for YA. ( )

This collection of Gurewitch's award winning comic, The Perry Bible Fellowship, is hilarious, absurd, dark, and somewhat demented. Highly imaginative, and wonderfully illustrated, each 3 or 4 paneled strip contains a clever and usually shocking punch line that is perfectly complimented by artwork that varies from very simple to detailed and polished. Readers with an appreciation for dark comedy will likely enjoy Gurewitch’s sharp wit and twisted sense of humour. ( )
