Perry Bible Fellowship (PBF for short) is a webcomic by Nicholas Gurewitch. It originated in the Syracuse University newspaper The Daily Orange. Comics are usually 3- panels long, and are generally characterized by the juxtaposition of childlike imagery or fantasy with extreme morbidity. Its humor is mainly absurdist. Featured themes include religion, sexuality, war, science fiction, suicide, and death. PBF character File links The following pages link to this file: Perry Bible Fellowship ...

PBF uses varying artistic styles. While some comics may feature simplistic human figures with little more than a mouth and eyes for a face, the next may be a gorgeously coloured and meticulously detailed strip. Sometimes, the artistic style changes within the strip itself. A recurring feature of the strip is human figures that are drawn with some detail and realism, other than the heads which are reminiscent of smiley faces. The smiley has gone through many incarnations over the years, but it consistently retains the same features. ...
PBF is updated only once per week (originally on Sundays to correspond with its Biblical title, but now more often on Wednesdays), and has a devoted following.
