The Perry Bible Fellowship

The Perry Bible Fellowship is pretty much to opposite of what you think it is. It has nothing to do with the Bible, any kind of fellowship, nor is anyone named Perry invovled. Instead, PBF is a collection of some of the most disturbing, funny, and disturbingly funny webcomics I have ever read. Nicholas Gurewitch, who has recently stopped writing this comic, claims that he chose that name because "'The Perry Bible Fellowship' is amusing to me, as a name, because it's probably the worst name for a comic strip ever."

The comic however, is incredible. Every strip takes some cliche, stereotype, or joke, and turns it on its head. Each strip is only three panels long and every one is self-contained. There are no recurring characters and very few recurring themes, but each strip is pretty hilarious in its own right.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Go check out all of the PBF at their website, or pick up the book, The Trial of Colonel Sweeto here.
