The Perry Bible Fellowship is the perfect middle between the whimsical and the dark humor. And it has been since 2001 when its creator Nicholas Gurewitch drew the first dark comics. Nicholas describes his style as "the clarity of obscurity," and his work is a real treat to all the twisted humor aficionados.
Usually consisting of three or four panels, the webcomics have originated in the Syracuse University newspaper The Daily Orange. The darkly funny drawings tackle difficult topics head-on, and some of the most common themes include irony, religion, sexuality, war, science fiction, suicide, violence, and death.
"Sometimes I look at my work and think that it shows the idealism of my Dad colliding with the realism of my Mom," Gurewitch told Things In Squares. "Or, I see the idealism of my Mom colliding with the realism of my Dad. The idea of the "real" colliding with the “ideal” in these plot twists have been suggested to me by many artists."
Now, scroll down below to feed your weird sense of humor with these superbly cool drawings by Nicholas!

(evil laugh) (we see the burnt down school) Skinner: I didn't burn down the school. It was the butterfly, I tell you, the butterfly! Wiggum: He's crazy, boys. Get the taser.

I keep getting the impression that this artist wants to be the next Gary Larson(The Far Side). But for some reason, he ends up with a bit too much of the 'macabre' and not enough 'delicious irony' to keep people wanting more. :O
Nope ... anybody doing more than one panel is not ever trying to emulate Larson. Try again to be interesting (at least it would be interesting to see how you fail to pull it off).

So did BoredPanda get permission from pbfcomics to use these? Did they pay for them?
I love these comics! The artist knows lots about human behavior, lol.
Two duplicates but most were pretty good. Some made absolutely NO sense to me tho.
Some of these I really don't get. What's up with the book couple? "You're the only one who understands me!" Then they see something on the table and she storms out. What did she see that ticked her off so much?
hmm, more in the vein of Gahan Wilson ... I Paint What I See ... LOL
