Why read it?
1 author picked The Trial of Colonel Sweeto and Other Stories as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I remember discovering The Perry Bible Fellowship while I was in college.
It was like nothing I had ever seen before, like some underground secret being passed between friends. The comics were clever, vulgar, sometimes graphic, and always funny.
As a long-time reader of the Funnies Pages in newspapers, Nicholas’ comics opened my eyes to what comics could be in the age of the internet. The Perry Bible Fellowship inspired me, along with an entire generation of cartoonists, to start their own comics.
My comic might not look like it was influenced by Nicholas’ work, but it sparked my imagination…
From Jimmy's list on webcomics that are even better in print.
