With the odd exception, he has been less funny lately, while the artwork has improved. Still, he always raises a smile so good luck to him.

This one was great.

I interviewed him last year, he was the greatest mutha alive to talk to. He is also doing the artwork for SLUM rekkids first compilation.

― LeCoq (LeCoq), Friday, 30 September 2005 02:20 (eighteen years ago) link

:-D LeCoq, you wonderful man, that is an interview I would be proud of until the day I died. Well done.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 30 September 2005 03:53 (eighteen years ago) link

That guy is cool. I wrote to him after the first time I saw PBF, on ilx. I wrote him because I loved the comic, and he came from my city, and worked for my friend I also worked for, who has an animation studio there. He was charming and remembered the friend too. I might run into him in the future, I hope.

I've read his online collection and I have to say he's giving Larson a run for his money as my favourite comic-strip author. Just awesome. My favourite is probably 'The Shortcut Express' which might be the single bleakest thing, erm, ever. I'd love to meet the guy.

― Louis Jagger (Haberdager), Saturday, 5 August 2006 20:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, even when he misses, I love the art. When he hits, he's among my favorites ever.

One of my student workers was looking through PBF the other day and I complimented him on his good taste -- the other student worker asked about it and knowing she had the right sense of humor (ie, gone, dark and evil) we both referred her to the site. She was appropriately horrified/entertained.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 5 August 2006 21:01 (seventeen years ago) link

It reminds me of a British animated cartoon called Monkey Dust, in its own turn the bleakest TV I have ever seen and my favourite television programme. The PBF mines a similar seam of knowing, despairing, fiendishly intelligent maleovolence.

*remembers The Man With No Penis, smirks, buries head in hands*

― Louis Jagger (Haberdager), Saturday, 5 August 2006 21:44 (seventeen years ago) link

burying your head in your hands is the real-life alternative to the comic strip shooting yourself in the head

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 5 August 2006 21:46 (seventeen years ago) link

(you have no penis)

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 5 August 2006 21:48 (seventeen years ago) link

The burying head in hands was in sympathy to anyone in a similar plight to TMWNP, that of being tormented by a general pleasure he/she cannot attain.

*realises how dorky the above sentence is, smirks, buries head in hands*

― Louis Jagger (Haberdager), Saturday, 5 August 2006 21:54 (seventeen years ago) link

okay, I thought it was simply because you, too, have no penis

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 5 August 2006 21:56 (seventeen years ago) link

You don't know if I'm a man, let alone whether I have a penis or not :-D

The Shortcut Express is IMO the portrait of a once-great entertainer (or a lonely man who wishes he was) deserted by his audience and left alone with his cuddly toys, mustering one last act of showmanship before ending his exquisite misery in the most profoundly miserable manner. It's brilliant.

The best ones apart from that are No Survivors, Barb And Rudy, Today I Am Going To Fly, It's My Birthday, Freaking Vortex and Eden. Holy crap they're good.

― Louis Jagger (Haberdager), Thursday, 10 August 2006 14:13 (seventeen years ago) link

It's so great, and the new archive is nice. I think my favorite is still 'Space Laughs', the very first one I read (years ago when a friend scanned some in for his site).

Out of the recent ones, Guntron Alliance Force is kinda brilliant.

― Trayce, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 02:20 (seventeen years ago) link

1) is definitely The Shortcut Express, that one hits something no other cartoon has ever reached

Also in there are Barb And Rudy, Pyro Billy, The Man With No Penis, Suck Note, Today I Am Going To Fly, Suicide Train, It's My Birthday and of course No Survivors (my 2nd favourite). The other two will take more deliberation.

The old PBF would have had the first three panels of the sex offender as is, but in the last panel it would have had a rear shot of the "Neptune" guy and the boy walking away together with no cops around.
