Perry Bible Fellowship

The Perry Bible Fellowship-Nicholas Gurewitch
cartoons, comics.



















Hello everyone, a break from music tonight I thought instead I would bring to your attention a cartoon strip which I love above all others. The Perry Bible Fellowship is the brainchild of Nicholas Gurewitch, I found it when it featured in the G2 supplement of a British newspaper "The Guardian" a few years ago. Since then Gurewitch has been turning PBF into a series of books, and touring with his artwork.
It originated in the Syracuse University newspaper "The Daily Orange". The comics are usually three or four panels long, and are generally characterized by the juxtaposition of whimsical childlike imagery or fantasy with extremely morbid, surreal humour. Common themes include irony, religion, sexuality, war, science fiction, suicide, violence, and death.(stolen from Wikipedia)

There are around 200 strips on the website all of high quality art and humour, on a cold, depressing day these are guaranteed to cheer me up.
Read and watch away, and enjoy
