Poorly Drawn Lines: Good Ideas and Amazing Stories

Description

A bear flies through space. A hamster suffers a breakdown. Elsewhere, a child marvels at the wonder of nature as worms emerge from the ground and begin looking for vodka. This is the bizarre world of Poorly Drawn Lines. With more than half a million fans on Facebook and callouts on NPR and Comedy Central, Reza Farazmand's Poorly Drawn Lines is a king among web comics, and this book will delight and mystify the legions of readers who like their humour poorly drawn.

Reza Farazmand lives and draws in San Francisco. He started putting his comics on the Internet in college, and was soon surprised to learn that this activity could make for an actual career. His work has since been featured in and around such places as television sets, websites, magazines, and now this book. When he's not writing or drawing, Reza enjoys drinking coffee and looking at things on screens. He is generally a pretty good guy.

"Poorly Drawn Lines consistently walks the line between deeply poignant and laugh-out-loud funny." -Matthew Inman, creator of The Oatmeal and New York Times bestselling author of 5 Very Good Reasons to Punch a Dolphin in the Mouth "Poorly Drawn Lines is the funniest comic I've read since The Far Side." -Wil Wheaton, actor (Star Trek: The Next Generation; The Big Bang Theory) "The Far Side meets Mad magazine, except with more swearing." -Mother Jones "Hilarious...Poorly Drawn Lines is an exercise in condensed humor." -Paste Magazine "Farazmand's art style promises Sarah Boynton-greeting-card whimsy, but what he delivers is darker, weirder, funnier and completely his own." - Glen Weldon, author of Superman: The Unauthorized Biography
