Eat A Dick, Truancy-bot
Posted Monday, February 25th, 2008 in Crazy Internets

Well, this is a little bit disappointing:

Nicholas Gurewitch has just announced that he’s retiring his Perry Bible Fellowship comic strip.

Sort of.

“It’s really not as big a deal as it might seem,” Nicholas said today. “I’ll simply be producing comics at a pace I’m more comfortable with.” Monday newspapers publishing his strip received the surprising announcement from the cartoonist. “I’m making this decision for a variety of reasons,” Nicholas told them in an email, “but mainly because I want to do other things besides be a cartoonist.”

The PBF is one of my favorite comics, and not being able to enjoy it on its already semi-monthly schedule will be annoying. There’s nothing else really like it out there. I certainly wish the Dayton Daily News would print it and other more adult-oriented comics. Wouldn’t you love to open your Sunday funnies and see this:

Oh well. At least I have the crazy Internet on which to read this and other witty, unusual comics.

I’m visiting Syracuse this week . . . I should see if he’s still around there.

Well, he hasn’t exactly been cranking the PBFs out at anything more than a snail’s pace, lately. So really, it won’t be much different. And it’s not like they’re not good…they’re ALWAYS good.

It is odd that both the Dayton Daily News and the Springfield News-Sun, both openly liberal papers, don’t put anything more than Doonesbury in their funnies. We need some outright anarchy in the comics, not fucking Family Circus. I fucking hate Family Circus.
