Ah! I was thinking this was Gorey. He really nailed the style.

(PBF comics are almost always funny but usually in a thoughtful way, not sure what else to say)
Thanks for the transcription! I think this one isn't supposed to be as thoughtful as much as his usual ones. It's hard to see but on the side it says "apologies, Edward Gorey", and I think this comic was more about wanting to do a tribute to that author than his normal PBF style (though there's a lot of overlap between the two). Gorey wrote very macabre short stories, like an alphabet book with these entries:

EGFH?
Oh I get it: ABCDEFGHIJKLM
Is this the same artist?
Yeah sorry, should've made that clear. The picture is just an excerpt from a book called The Gashlycrumb Tinies by Edward Gorey. The picture in my comment above is from Edward Gorey, the picture for the main post is by the PBF author, in the style of Edward Gorey.
