Despite the potentially offensive content in many strips, the comic rarely receives complaints, or its author hate-mail. Nicholas Gurewitch attributes this to people who dislike the comic not wishing to share their feelings with him.Tim Dowling. ""Welcome to the Fellowship". The Guardian, September 30, 2005.
PBF uses varying artistic styles. While some comics may feature simplistic human figures with little more than a mouth and eyes for a face, the next may be a gorgeously coloured and meticulously detailed strip. Sometimes, the artistic style changes within the strip itself. A recurring feature of the strip is human figures that are drawn with some detail and realism, other than the heads which are reminiscent of smiley faces. In a strip parodying Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the comic's artwork resembled that of Quentin Blake[1], while another strip was a take-off on the macabre crosshatch style of Edward Gorey[2]. Another strip was created in a "sprite comic"-style, using (edited) graphics from NESvideo gamePunch-Out
PBF is updated only once per week (originally on Sundays to correspond with its "Biblical" title, but now more often on Tuesdays), and has a devoted following. It appears in around a dozen newspapers, including the New York Press, and The Guardian. PBF also appears in Maxim magazine. One of its comics, Weeaboo inspired a meme on the online imageboard 4chan.
On August 1, 2006, after several months on a temporary site, the comic moved to its permanent Internet home at pbfcomics.com.
In response to questions as to why he has shortened the archive, Gurewitch has hinted that there will be a Perry Bible Fellowship book to come out soon. Little else is known regarding the publication.
