   Ack. It’s a sad day for the funnies, as they say.

   Gurewitch is a talented guy; I’m guessing we haven’t seen the last of him.

   Wasn’t this now running in The Guardian in the UK? I know it has an incredible following. I always appreciated the off-the-wall ideas which hit the mark more often than not. I’d be very interested to see what he does next, especially as he says he wants to do things other than be a cartoonist!

   I think he’s the most talented cartoonist going.

   Or as it now seems … not going

   Seeing that PBF has been in reruns on and off for the past few months, the news wasn’t too surprising.

   I guess even cartoonists can get burned out from doing a strip even if it only comes out once a week.

   So sad. One thing that stuck out to me: only 201 comics? So, at once a week, this ran about 4 years? Granted he put a lot of art into each strip, but in the big scheme of things, that seems to barely be a start. That being said, I enjoyed his work and will miss it. Hopefully he has another project pending.

   PBF was absolutely brilliant.

   I came to the PBF party late but love the toons. One of the freshests comics that I’ve read. Sorry to see it go…

   This is a big loss. PBF proved that comic strips can still be funny.

    I have really enjoyed his work, too. He’s done a heck of a lot with a fairly small number of cartoons. My hunch? Since the PBF book was such a success, he can choose to take his time, without the pressure of looming deadlines (even if they might have only been weekly, and not daily) … cartoon at his leisure and eventually create a new book. And given the success of the first one, I betcha he’ll sell quite a few copies. I know I’d buy one. If he’s done anything, thus far, it’s establish a track record for producting quality — and hilarious — work.
