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!

Did you ever notice that the name Santa is an anagram for “Satan”? Coincidence?
Everyone at this deli is staring at me because of how hard I laughed out loud at this one.
Just goes to show you that as a driving force in nature, sex is hard to beat. 😉
Now you'll have a stepbrother who will torture you daily .. you can thank your dad for that.
Great, now I wonder what would happen if you crossed a unicorn with a donkey.
Why is she just a board? Why isn't she a human body with a board head?
he wanted to 'hammer' her but found out that another man was also 'screwing' her

Being at a nude beach is like the definition of a nightmare for me.
She's about to discover that the good doctor does everything by the numbers. 😉
Can't help but notice if there's a hint of sex in the joke, you can't help but make a lame comment ... Please tell me you're not married so I can sleep comfortably knowing some poor woman is not being exposed to your nonsense on a daily basis.
Load More Replies...If someone ever called me gay as an insult, I'd thank them and walk off and gossip with my LGBTQ+ friends.
And that's the reason why you should never judge someone, defending his own property.
You can actually starve on rabbit because it's so lean. Look up "protein poisoning" or "rabbit starvation".

Just be glad that the big ocean blue didn't become the big ocean blue-screen!
And yet, they (and everyone in the comments) seem completely unbothered by the fact that their reality is a computer construct, and one apparently prone to occasional crashes. The Matrix was horrifying enough without the possibility that you go round to your grandmothers house, only to find she died when she went to the bathroom and it failed to properly render in time, dropping her through the ground into nothingness.
I like how the kid on the left (I guess technically right) is kicking the only can on the sand
Last time I checked religions were just religions. Perhaps you were trying to insult the people that follow them instead?
Load More Replies...then there are people coming after to the cartoonist 😁
Load More Replies...Many people *think* all divorces cause serious problems. In reality, some divorces solve serious problems. (not an advocate for divorce in general, but it's a grand solution often enough)
Load More Replies...P.S. Am I the only one who thinks that the resemblance between this boy and Dudley Dursley is striking?
Load More Replies...This is stark and jarring! Every time I see a stupid lill food fight scene in a movie, my mind always thinks of all the wastage!
The ones with the perfect gifts look satisfied to me lol
Load More Replies...Didn't you see Aladdin? You can't do that! It's one of the rules!

Also some wild animals will eat humans if they're hungry enough.

...because no one suspects the butterfly mwhahaha
Load More Replies...Bart: If it helps, I believe that after you die, you come back as whatever you want. I'll be a butterfly. Lisa: How come? Bart: Because nobody ever suspects the butterfly. (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. (little Bart butterfly holds a gas can and laughs) -2F32 'Round Springfield
True, but we've got Jared Padalecki. He is the master of puppy dog eyes! Also there's Misha Collins.

And it looks like we have a self-destructive relationship with Mother Earth. There will be a rude awakening to the realization that there will never be a fathership taking us to planet Earth 2.0.
Load More Replies...Now just imagine all the dirty comments that would've been born if they'd invented extendable eyes... dark ._.
Load More Replies...that doll is putting thread so that he could let it slide into the room of his wife ;P
he unstitches his button eyes to get it through the cracks and look at the naked doll on the lower floor.
Thought this was a Brazilian slang, didn't know there was an English equivalent. Cute dog, btw
Load More Replies...I'm getting confused by your abundant comments in which you use these winky emojis as if you're being clever but you're just saying what happens in the comic...
Load More Replies...You forget, Wolverine has a heightened sense of smell, he would know whose fur that belong to.
Logan would have smelled who the hair belongs to. He might even know who's been on the room during the moment he stepped in. (I don't go to parties so don't use the "you must be fun at parties" joke)
Just not his forte. I've seen a real naked man before, but every one I try to draw looks like a woman
Load More Replies...I actaully feel bad for the kid. The kid above is TOTALLY me, but I have really good grades. I think that it's wrong for the mother to change her son's personallity.
The problem is, very few musicians make it big. If you want to pursue a career in music, it's a good idea to at least have something to fall back on if you don't make it.
Load More Replies...Wow... this one seems the darkest to me and just a painful depiction of a sad reality... not many people are lucky enough to have a unique dream or to be able to think of something that hasn't already been thought of...
The kid caught a severed head at the Colosseum like someone might catch a fly ball in modern baseball.
Load More Replies...this happened to me one time i was falling then I saw my body sleeping and once I landed I woke up!
Just let the funny people do their thing and stop trying to ride coattails ...
Load More Replies...I like how all the other kids are just sitting there as if this is normal. Turns out they have gone through 12 teachers who asked this question 🤣
I would aregue the opposite. Molars have more heft and overall surface area.
Load More Replies...Dad in second panel: I lost 20$ but at least he’s happy. Dad in last panel: @*#(
From the look of it, the one holding a plate on the 1st drawing suicided (seems like the impact of the bullet on his forehead)
they are going to become male butterflies and get with the female butterflies
Load More Replies...She should invest into modern style mirror. It is well known scientific fact that vampires were not seen in old-type mirrors who had a layer of silver behind the glass to make it reflective. Silver is known of its evil-filtering properties. On the other hand modern mirrors have a layer of aluminium, much more vampire friendly.
Welp you could say they've been BONED ahahahahaha it's funny and original LAUGH
What am i supposed to do in here? Can i go away once i've eaten them?

He will never have friends and will be bullied for being dangerous without being its fault.
If you look closely at rokie’s hand in the 2nd panel you see him getting poked
That doesn't mean you can't laugh. It's just a birthday. Those kids probably look back and laugh. It's totally not a big deal. Lots of cultures don't even care about birthdays.

1. The only tree for miles! 2. The one with the flowers, far right. 3. What's the reporter saying, really? Bottom right.
One day in elementary school my catholic teacher was explaining that tremors were caused by god moving the earth. I raised my hand and said it was actually because of the tectonic plaques and went on explaining it. She put me bad grades for the rest of the course.
I went to a catholic school and learned Darwin's evolution. Teachers (most of them priests or nuns) explained Creationism should be treated like a parable, not a cold, hard fact.
Load More Replies...I'm so tired that I read "beefed" as "bee-fed" and I was confused for a minute.
I wished I saw this when I was teaching sixth grade science! They would of loved it.
I went to a Catholic schòl too. We had a very good education for a time when it wasn't thoughtvreally necessary fir gurks to kearn science and maths.
