This comic, which I am totally late to the party, I know, is making me think about humor and how it works more so than any comedy has in a while.
Something about the way he draws on archetypes so ingrained we don't even think about them and then turning them on their head. They often tend to be jokes that aren't particularly funny per se on their own, but when cloaked in over the top satire they sort of take on a new life. In this case, upon reflection I think it's the parchment styling of the speech bubbles that ultimately made me laugh and remember the strip.
That and the art style of course. There's something about the way this guy draws faces that elevates jokes that are Family-Guy level to something gripping and hilarious and worth calling art.
I like the immersion achieved by making it resembles something like Blondie. The joke is lame until you see that isn't the joke so much as the train going into the tunnel.
Funny enough without the reference to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_River
I'm seriously in love with this stuff. This guy makes the unfunny funny, and I don't know if there's been anything else that has done that for me.

Some of my other favorites include 'Zarflax' and 'Agels Caught' which are NSFW I gues.
Sadly.
Unfortunate in any case.
And PBF is probably my favorite single webcomic.
phallic symbolism. Think about it, what comes after the blowjob?
I don't like this one as it doesn't work. The seal pops the first time you open it to let you know it's still good. He's got it backwards. Or I'm really stupid. One of the two.
meaning shes a whore
I thought he pressed the button, not that he was opening...her
I think the problem is that the fact that PB was popping the button wasn't very clear.
At first, I thought he was just brushing back the veil. Now I can see he's probably popping the spot, but only because that was pointed out to me.
He's brushing back the veil and accidentally puts pressure on the button, seeing that her seal had already been broken.
Right, and now that it's been pointed out, I see it. Previous to that, it didn't look to me like his pinky was touching the lid.
I am pretty sad it was stopped.
My absolute favorite of his is "Better Luck Next Time".
It doesn't. It just means he's singing. From an artistic perspective, one could argue that he put that in there to cause a more cacophonous discrepancy between the dialogue and the "pop" of the lid, which would underscore the attention to detail that he puts into his comics. But it's not part of the joke.

I like it because it describes a dystopian society of forest friends who torment an innocent scorpion by forcing it to kill.
How have these not been posted yet? And yeah, it sucks that he quit. Although he did make a new comic after that, so maybe it's just going to be extremely few and far between rather than never.
one of the best
It is pretty rad. Has a couple of never published comics at the back.
It's still just stuff from the website of course, but it's nice to have around.
Examples?
Que?
