Ran across this webcomic when it was nominated for an award this year. I'm not sure what to make of it. Amazing art, and really nice 4-panel storytelling, but very sick-n-twisted a lot of the time, and always kind of dark. Still, some of his strips are pretty nice.
Actually, reading the bio just now, I find out that the Portland Mercury actually publishes it. So you may already be reading it. Oh well.
[This article was updated 2007/04/22 to remove out-of-date material, and again 2008/1/19 to reflect that the strip I had linked to has finally disappeared from PBF's archive altogether.]
