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.

Poorly Drawn Lines is the funniest comic I've read since The Far Side.

HilariousPoorly 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.

Author Bio

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.
