Nothing New - By: M. Ward, 11 Sep 2008 
I bought this book thinking I might get a book full of things that might not be on the website. Instead of paid for a book full of comics which are available online. Theres a few new things, but not enough to warrant buying it.
Save yourself a few pennies & just go on the website.
Brilliant - By: Mr. A. J. SMITH, 01 Sep 2008 
This is brilliant collection. Gurewitch is a fantastic artist & obviously skilledin a number of different styles. Some of the strips are simplistic & childlike to the point where a ten-thumbed idiot like me could draw them. Others are as meticulously detailed & vidid as the work of the great Robert Crumb. All are brilliantin their own way. Whatever style Gurewitch adopts, it seems the perfect choice for the material - he obviously has a keen sense for the marriage of content & form.
But what of the content? In short, it's hilarious. The humour is misanthropic, dark & twisted but it is never cheap. With some controversial comic artists, like Dagsson & Max Canning, the controversial nature of their work can seem a bit limited & superficial; often there seems to be little beyond an intention to be politically incorrect & offend people. Gurewitch's humour is jet-black but there is always intelligence, wit & genuinely comic ideasin his work. Many of the stripsin this book are funnyin a way that is timeless. "The Adventures of the Man With No Penis" had me literally rolling on the floorin fits of laughter, as did several others.
To speak more of this book would be to ruin it. Just go out buy it. This Gurewitch chap is a genius.
Twisted and beautiful, like satanic candy - By: Mark Hetherington, 04 Aug 2008 For a long time I have taken refuge on the Perry Bible Fellowship website whilst at work. When the daily grind is getting too much it is rather comforting to be able to disappear into a very different world where moon faced cartoon people do quite strange things.
The quality of illustration is widely varied & extremely good. Gurewitch is not onlyin possession of an extremely active & exciting sense of humour but his ability with the pen/pencil/paint-pot is superb. It really adds to the comic effect when you can tell that the creator has taken a lot of time to produce these strips.
If you want something a little different as an occassional coffee table book that you can dip into for a good laugh, & if your humour is a little more twisted than the conventional, then this is something you will enjoy.
Loved it! - By: Lasma Znotina, 24 Apr 2008 I've never been a fan of comics, but I can read this book again & again. These strips are absolutely fantastic!
Spiffing - By: THE TRUTH, 23 Jan 2008 Absolutely.
Buy it or feel foolish for the rest of your life.
Lots of PBF comic stripsin paper form that can be stroked & patted until you're sick.
