Online Cartoonist Finds Financial Success Offline
destinyland writes "The first collection of Perry Bible Fellowship comics has racked up pre-sales of $300,000 due to its huge online following. Within seven weeks the volume required a third printing. Ironically, the 25-year-old cartoonist speculates people would rather read his arty comics in a book than on a computer screen, and warns that 'There's something wonderful, and soon-to-be mythic, about the printed page...' He also explains the strange anti-censorship crusade in high school that earned him an FBI record!"
Which is perfect for the bible, because it's a myth.

There are still newspapers?
>>Is it just me or are the comics in newspapers COMPLETELY devoid of any humor?
NO WAY. Take Garfield. There was this one time that Garfield tried to get a lasagna, and Jon tried to stop him, and then ODIE got involved. I'm crying here just remembering it. Man it was funny.

The brain is a strange thing. I spotted the typo too, but for some inexplicable reason my brain also thinks that the string contains the word 'kittens' somewhere after the apostrophe.

I know you! You're David Cross's character in this sketch!

he's probably just trying to trick everybody in going over all the comics searching for hidden messages (and it's working -_-)
