What Are The Best Perry Bible Fellowship Comics?

If you’re new to Perry Bible Fellowship, 'The Warning' is a great intro—it’s short, shocking, and encapsulates the comic’s darkly comic vibe. Another must-read is 'The Simple Peasant,' which starts as a medieval fantasy and ends with a punchline so dumb it loops back to genius. Gurewitch’s comics thrive on subverting tropes, and this one does it flawlessly. 'The Call of Cthulhu' parody is another highlight, reimagining Lovecraft’s horror as office drudgery. The way PBF blends high and low humor makes it endlessly re-readable. For sheer WTF factor, 'The Aquatic Fervor of Barthelamule the Drowned' is hard to beat—it’s like a folk tale gone horribly wrong. PBF’s best work feels like it was dreamed up during a caffeine-fueled midnight brainstorm.

PBF comics are like a box of chocolates—if every chocolate was laced with existential dread and absurdist wit. 'The Horse in the Burrito' lives rent-free in my head; it’s this gloriously stupid premise about a horse inexplicably stuffed into a burrito, and the reactions of the people discovering it are priceless. Another gem is 'God Hates Figs,' a brutal parody of protest culture that’s both biting and stupidly funny. The way Nicholas Gurewitch plays with expectations is masterful—you think you know where a comic is going, and then it swerves into something completely bonkers.

I’ve also got a soft spot for 'The Light of Freedom,' which starts as a patriotic allegory and devolves into… well, I won’t spoil it. PBF’s ability to pack so much narrative and humor into just a few panels is unreal. And let’s not forget 'The Superhero’s Drink,' a perfect example of how the comic can turn something as simple as a guy ordering a drink into a layered joke about power and mundanity. It’s the kind of humor that rewards rereading.

The Perry Bible Fellowship comics are this weird little corner of the internet where dark humor and absurdity collide in the best way possible. One of my absolute favorites has to be 'The Trial of Colonel Sweeto'—it's this bizarre courtroom drama featuring a sentient candy mascot, and the way it escalates into utter chaos kills me every time. The punchline is so perfectly unexpected. Another standout is 'The Worm Turns,' where a bullied kid gets revenge in the most surreal, worm-centric way imaginable. PBF has this knack for taking mundane setups and twisting them into something hilariously unsettling.

Then there’s 'The Dinosaur That Got Tired of Eating Chips and Dip,' which feels like a fever dream in comic form. It’s got that signature PBF blend of existential dread and deadpan delivery. Honestly, part of the charm is how the art style shifts to match the tone of each comic—sometimes cutesy, sometimes grotesque, always surprising. I’d also throw 'The Final Planet' into the mix for its bleakly funny take on cosmic inevitability. PBF’s stuff sticks with you because it’s equal parts clever and deeply weird.
