The Clackamas Print
by Nicholas Gurewitch
Dark Horse Comics
A cloud gets a boner, causing fee wind to blow up a woman’s
skirt A father puts his son to bed, and then is shown paying off fee
monster thatjust killed the boy. So begins “The Perry Bible Fellowship
Almanac.”
It’s the perfect book to keep in fee bathroom or to leave on fee coffee
table for your guests and parents to see.
From random beheadings to aliens who like messing with the Earth,
this graphic novel hits odd and poignant notes.
No subject is sacred or taboo for the creator/writer/artist Nicholas
Gurewitch from suicide bomber chess pieces to gopher blow jobs.
Some parents have said they would use PBF to educate their chil
dren on humor that has many di fferent levels, from innocent fim to
crude sexual innuendos.
This multi-paneled comic is full of high-level intellect and low
brow humor touching on everything including religion, love and wet
dreams.
The simple absurdity of each strip is often all it takes to cramp the
stomach muscles wife extreme bouts of snickering.
As to be expected of this kind of humor, Gurewitch started the panel
whi le bored in class at Syracuse University. He took it step further sub
mitting strips to the university newspaper The Daily Orange. Then it
was turned into a Web-zine and was noticed by the public at large.
Before Gurewitch stopped making strips in February 2008, PBF
was published in the UK Guardian and Baltimore City paper.
No justification is needed or given for fee comic’s humor or exis
tence —like it says, “I am here in all my lewd, sexual, violent and mor
bid glory.” But, it’s almost like fee comic is a puppy licking your face,
and humping your leg at fee same time.
Wife all this said, it’s worth noting feat Oregon’s own Dark Horse
Comics is currently publishing PBF in hardbound editions across fee
nation.
