I know you know this comic. Help me with the name.

I'm drawing a blank trying to remember the name of a popular web comic that I used to read. How to describe it?

The characters are usually drawn very round and basic, almost like snowmen. Other elements are sometimes drawn very realistically for effect. Dark humour abounds.

Some strips I can sorta remember off of the top of my head:
* A grammar wizard is talking to his posse of loyal kids, but when he ends a sentence with a preposition, the kids turn on him and kill him.
* Kid wears a unicorn shirt, friends make fun of him. Unicorn shows up and gores the friends.
* Kid writes a "Things I Hate" note, with one item on it, "getting spanked". His Dad catches him writing it, and spanks him.

PBF just posted a strip a few weeks ago. Perhaps signaling a return? Or just finding a pre-existing file somewhere in the great expanse of digital media.

It's not returning or ended permanently, the author is just moving on to other things. He still updates every once in a while, but not every week.

The book is awesome, and apparently there's a new collection (with every strip ever published) coming out next month.

Actually, scratch what I said about next month; the Dark Horse website says it's coming out mid-November. Just in time for Xmas!
