Wld joke-husks be a good investment in these worrisome financial times - the future equivalent of the Cambodian skull-trading market era?

that's the point, it's a cruel, inevitable ritual, which makes it a far better strip than if it were random chance.

You can read it either way, but I'd imagine all the townsfolk know how KA-GAROO is completed. That they go for 'F' and 'L' I take to be a surefire sign that they're slowly, deliberately sending this man to his death.

and did i ever say i was explicating 'funny', rather than 'how a comic strip concept works'?

Did anyone else get the book besides me? It's a fine addition to any bathroom.

PS: As my follow-on post explicates, my "no" was not to say you are wrong, LJ; it was to say "stop sucking humor out of this strip by diagramming it".

i think i might get it as an xmas gift (for someone else)

I got the book as a birthday present (for someone else). Surprisingly hard to find. Asking "do you have the Perry Bible Fellowship" at four different bookshops like I was some kind of lonely God-botherer.
"What kind of book is it?" "It's a comic book (I am not a religious nutjob)" ^ second part not actually spoken out loud
― ledge, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 09:33 (sixteen years ago) link
omg i didn't know there was a book. tick one xmas gift for, erm, somebody
― Ste, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 09:44 (sixteen years ago) link
It's only 10 bucks or so, too. It's available on his site.

"25-year-old cartoonist Nicholas Gurewitch watched as the pre-order sales climbed past $300,000 for The Trial of Colonel Sweeto and Other Stories."
"Close to 27,000 copies were sold even before the collection of comic strips had its official release in November."

I'm a huge fan of "smart people humor", and PBF has never let me down. It was torture having to wait the long months until I received this book for a Christmas present - I was instructed not to buy it from the gift giver.
Two thumbs up, Mr. Gurewitch. Two thumbs up. Hurry up with a sequel already!

so there's a new hardcover coming out? for some reason thought about this the other day. I love it when you return to a comic that you haven't read in a while and you forgot all the jokes but then you reread them and it's like coming home.

― berk psychosis (Trayce), Thursday, 24 February 2011 07:52 (thirteen years ago) link
So he's finally doing something new?? Good to hear; I know it's been said a zillion times already but PBF is just ridiculous in its brilliance sometimes. It's hilarious and sometimes crushingly depressing. I always wondered what he was like in real life. I read some interviews with him from way back and he seems to be a good guy but he kind of battles with his own issues in real life which sometimes manifests itself in the strip. The "No Survivors" one apparently was written after a bad breakup. Ouch.
