Favorite Things: Lee Healey

I've been a fan of Perry Bible Fellowship for quite some time. If you go back to the archives I first pimped Nicholas Gurewitch's excellent comic back on February 14th, 2005. He has since published a chunk of new webcomics, been nominated for (and won) Harveys,Ignatzes and Eisners, and has seen his archive published by Dark Horse. It's been a good three years for Mr. Gurewitch but there's a problem - his PBF production has slowed down considerably. I'm constantly waiting for a four-panel strip to be posted. Weeks turn into months and I tend to feel the hole in my heart growing. I'm incomplete, I long, I yearn for that sublime humor that's the heir apparent to The Far Side.

And then I saw a comic that I originally mistook for a new Gurewitch strip. It was posted on the Brian Michael Bendis message board. I went to the PBF website to see if it has been updated but, alas, nothing. I went back to the Bendis board and asked the original poster where that strip came from and I was introduced to the work of Lee Healey. The wait for a new PBF has just become slightly more bearable. Feast your eyes on the genius, and then go to his site for more:
