I love these twisted little comic strips. Often the jokes are phenomenally wrong, but always fantastic. And you can tell Gurewitch spends a lot of time on his artwork. This'll take you half an hour to read, and you'll feel like a better person for it, because even though you laughed at it, at least you didn't create it.

Gurewitch's stuff is hilarious. I can understand why he's interested in moving forward and trying something new. (PBF started as a strip for his college paper.) But I'll miss this strip terribly.

So dark. So unabashed. Hilarious. Some of the strips take some time to sink in, and some just aren't amazing, but the best are soooo good. He isn't afraid to attack sentimentality in the most humorous way possible.

Dark, hilarious, naughty and clever. An amusing and quick read for folks not put off by a grim or cynical jab.

Most of the book is just reprinting strips from the web, but it's still a blast to read. I've read nearly everything in this book and it still makes me laugh. Several strips I needed to read multiple times before I got the joke, but once I did, it's hilarious. There's a section at the end of strips he's rejected for various reasons, and while I mostly agree with his reasons for rejecting them, a couple are laugh-out-loud funny.
More sex and nudity than I recalled, though, so I might have some trouble adding it to my teen collection as planned. The characters aren't realistically drawn, so it might not be a problem.

A collection of funny, clever, but very twisted comics. The strips themselves, including some stunning homages to other artists, are very skillfully drawn, and while some of the jokes were obviously designed to shock, they are amusing too.
An ideal quick read for comic lovers. Highly recommended.

I love the off humour and the beautiful colours of PBF very much. It's done in such a neat and well-defined style. Definitely enjoyable, if you can laugh at totally inappropriate, crass, and odd-ball humour.
