The Perry Bible Fellowship is one of the funniest webcomics I have come across in a long time. No matter how sure you are of how a comic will end, you will absolutely be surprised by the dark twists and turns that each panel takes.
This is no surprise, considering that the comic is going into its 15th year of being made! I think we can safely say that Nicholas Gurenwitch, the mastermind behind PBF, is a pro.

Gurenwitch describes his style as “the clarity of obscurity,” and I have to say, in my experience of his work, that is pretty spot on.
