Discover Pewfell: The Worst Wizard on Urf — A Comic Fantasy Comic

Pewfell: The Worst Wizard on Urf is a semi-autobiographical epic fantasy romantic comedy action adventure sci-fi love story, set on the far flung future planet of Urf. Pewfell is a slacker wizard, with bills to pay and no consistent source of income other than his wife, Tina the Warrior Princess. Under Pewfell’s stairs squats Gnoma, a small blue pest who loathes him.

The Pewfell comic strip series is created and illustrated by Chuck Whelon, and sometimes co-written by Adam Prosser.

Pewfell is rated C for Chaos – It contains nudity and magical substance abuse. Also lots of violence and a little bit of sex. And smoking. Here is a musical video showing some highlights from the series:

Reviews of Pewfell

Here are some of the nice things people have had to say about Pewfell over the years:

—

Pewfell is one of those comics people take for granted, because it has been so good for so long. Don’t hold that against it!

What can you say about Pewfell that hasn’t been said? Lots of people know about it, and know that it’s good. A lot of times, I find that when I mention it, people tell me that they’ve been meaning to catch up on it someday.

That time should be now.

Chuck and Adam have kicked it up a notch or two with their latest few storylines. I’ve been blown away by what they’ve done. These comics are on par with the best of the old-school Heavy Metal magazines I used to hide in my locker when I was in high school (and that’s a very high compliment coming from me). If you only remember Pewfell from its days as a black-and-white daily, then you don’t know Pewfell at all, anymore. Now that it’s being posted on WCN [webcomicsnation] for free, there’s no excuse not to check it out.

Chuck Whelon and Adam Prosser have made a truely masterful, hillarious comic! The characters are all originally quirky, from Pewfell who is a hopeless wizard and his pregnant viking warrior princess wife, to the bitch of a gnome who lives in their house and Pewfell’s freeloading bar mates. The dialouge is quickwitted and the full color world beautifully rendered and well thought out. This is one of those comics you read and wish that you had come up with it.

Keep up the good work!

—Creator Chris Wharton on Pewfell Vol 4: Drain of Chaos

With Pewfell, Chuck Whelon has established himself as the Terry Pratchett of webcomics. Pewfell is a bit of a slacker, an under-achieving wizard who is happier on the couch with a slice of pizza than fighting orcs, dragons and the like. In fact, he is more likely to spar words with Gnoma, a politically vocal housemate. Keeping the home together is the sensible (and dangerous) Tina. Like Pratchett, Whelon takes a satiric approach to fantasy conventions and archetypes, yet demonstrates great love for them; and with them he creates a coherent magical world.

Pewfell Porfingles: Is kick ass, with extra kick left over in case more ass shows up. Great art, and cool fantasy/sci-fi storylines

—Tycho Brahe, Penny Arcade

—

Solid laughs, funny characters, and ludicrous plot points from start to finish… [Chuck] does a very nice job of visually bringing Pewfell’s milieu to life. This remains one of my favorite indy sleepers: a satisfying little book.

—Marc Mason, Should it be a Movie? column on Kevin Smith’s MoviePoopShoot.com

—

One of my favorite comics… Pewfell is an amazingly well-drawn and funny fantasy comic… original, witty and literate, making the strip one of the top fantasy strips around. Really, you should go there, and you should go there now.

—Reinder Dijkhuis,Creator of ‘Rogues of Clwyn-Rhan’

—

Pewfell Porfingles – A truly interesting comic by Chuck Whelon. The art has a completely unique and very interesting style, the comedy is incredibly good, and the characters are very well developed. An all around great comic, especially if you are looking for something new 🙂

—Matados d’Haceor

—

an online comic masterpiece.

—Carson Fire, creator of ElfLife

—

Amazingly cool stuff by Chuck Whelon. The weird worlds his fantastic characters inhabit should be visited regularly by anyone who enjoys a fun escape of fantasy. But this isn’t the kind of fantasy that makes you think of dateless boys sitting around a D&D game wondering what it’s like to kiss a girl. No, this is fantasy that is actually cool. A rare and splendid thing.

Pewfell is probably the world’s worst wizard, and he does very little to disprove this claim. He’s got a seriously hot, successful adventuring warrior wife and a house gnome who mocks him mercilessly. He’s got incompetent friends and, not surprisingly, a major case of depression. And when destiny seeks him out, he just can’t seem to make the right decisions.

It’s not often that someone decides to try comedic fantasy. It happens from time to time, like Groo the Wanderer, for example. But for the most part, fantasy is very serious. Pewfell is one of those attempts, and I think it works pretty well. Our “hero” is a pretty regular guy in a world where wizards are pompous and bombastic, which goes a fair way toward making fun of the genre right there. And let’s be real here; there’s plenty to mock in the genre. I love fantasy, and I love comedy. And this is good on both counts. Definitely check it out.
