I chanced across this web comic page tonight and discovered it is really, really funny. Sick, I meant to say. Sick. And funny.

It’s like a 3-panel “Far Side” done by someone who really can draw when he puts his mind to it. It’s… well, [see for yourself this comic called Food Fight](http://www.pbfcomics.com/?cid=PBF103AD-Food_Fight.gif#174).

I should add that some of the cartoons feature jokes about sex… well, cartoonish sex. Might not be safe for all workplaces.

I think [this one](http://www.pbfcomics.com/?cid=PBF041AD-Orbitoid_and_Jones.jpg#111) wins for most random.

It’s not Food Fight. It’s **The Perry Bible Fellowship**. It runs in the free Boston-area paper **The Dig** , so I’ve been reading it for a while. I’m not a big fan. Occasionally it’ll do something I find notewoerthy or funny, but most of the time I find it irrelevant and/or sick. De Gustibus and all that.

And what the hck does “The Perry Bible Fellowship” mean?

Dunno. But the comic I linked to is titled “Food Fight.” The _strip_ is called the PBF.

Some of them are moderately amusing. A few didn’t make much sense. I liked [this one](http://www.pbfcomics.com/?cid=PBF051AD-Colonel_Sweeto.jpg#121) for some reason. It made me giggle.

I think the story behind the comic was a couple students looking at their college paper and saying “I can make a better comic than that”

The story behind the name was after it was written, the guys were looking for a name and “Perry Bible Fellowship” was on a poster they walked by. They kept it because the comic is very much not bible-related.

I like the PBF - not so much sick, I would say, as surreal

[This one](http://www.pbfcomics.com/?cid=0PBF59011BC-Not_Today_Little_One.jpg#6) remains high up in my favourites

A little bit hard to see, but increase your monitor brightness and you will see that  
Gonzales is

stuck in a spider’s web. And the spider is coming

My favorites are the ones were they parody [Edward Gorey](http://www.edwardgoreyhouse.org/) like this one:

From the [FAQ](http://www.pbfcomics.com/author.php?link=faq):

[QUOTE=PBF FAQ]  
Why the name “The Perry Bible Fellowship”?  
Probably the same reason Madonna goes by the name “Madonna”: It’s cool because you know she’s not a Madonna. The comic is definitely not a Perry Bible Fellowship.
