comic strips, anyone?

When I was little, I really enjoyed reading the Garfield comic strip collections, and still do occasionally. I also enjoyed reading the Peanuts books, and definitely enjoy the Calvin and Hobbes books quite a bit. http://www.ucomics.com/calvinandhobbes

I've been wondering when the next interesting comic strip might pop up, and it looks like I may have found it...

(well, more accurately, it was sent to me by a friend of mine)

It's a comic strip called The Perry Bible Fellowship. No, it's NOT a Christian-themed strip, which, in my mind, makes it pretty bad name for the strip. But, whatever.

Moreover, the guy that makes it, Nicholas Gurewitch, is only 22 years old!

It's only in a handul of newspapers right now, but that'll probably pick up. The only obstacle I see to that is the raciness the strip has at times.

But, luckily, all of the comic strips are on his webpage:

This strip seems to represent more of what I'd call a 'modern absurdism' that has come to characterize a lot of the humor that many members of my generation really enjoy and relate to.

Click on the guy in the middle if you want to read them.

OR, you can look at these following links, which are the ones I particularly enjoy:
