Don’t Miss Poorly Drawn Lines on Cake, airing on FX and streaming on FX on Hulu!

This New York Times bestselling collection of absurd comics is the perfect funny gift for everyone in your life.

“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)

Life is weird. Embrace it. A bear flies through space. A hamster suffers a breakdown. A child marvels at the wonder of nature as worms emerge from the ground to look for vodka (as they always have). Elsewhere, a garden snake is arrested by animal control and jailed for home invasion. These are common occurrences in the world of Reza Farazmand’s wildly popular webcomic, Poorly Drawn Lines. Traveling from deep space to alternate realities to the bottom of the ocean, this collection includes fan favorites alongside never-before-seen comics and original essays. For the first time, Farazmand shares his inimitable take on love, nature, social acceptance, and robots.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“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

I love this author and his comics on Reddit and Instagram. My little brother and my husband are both fans also, so this was a perfect Christmas stocking stuffer. The book is so funny and comes packed with comics, many of which we haven't seen already. I keep this book on our end table for guests to thumb through while we're cooking and almost all of them have laughed after only a few pages. Super fun to have.

A must have if you love the web comic series at poorlydrawnlines.com. This book is so much fun and full of brilliant and intelligently funny comics. The characters are original and full of personality. The art and writing in this book is really smart and so enjoyable to read and look at. You will actually laugh-out-loud when you read these comics, they are hilarious, however, I must warn you that some of the writing and art in these comics are a bit graphic so I would not recommended this book for young children. I don't want to spoil anything by giving examples so just Buy this book now, you won't regret it!

5.0 out of 5 stars So wry and funny
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2016
Verified Purchase
This book was a must-have holiday gift for select friends and family members this year (and it's still on my "I want one!" list, 'cos nobody got me one, boo).

Reza has a wry sense of humor that I really enjoy. The drawings may be simple, but the comedic punches and observations on life are spot-on. Taking animals, funny people, hilarious stories. Appeals to Gen Xers and Millenials alike.

Not for little kids or people who don't prefer a little cussing, though!

Thanks, Reza!

These are my favorite comics ever, they are so funny. Although I follow the artist on Instagram and can see them for free, I also like buying the book to support the artist. If you enjoy the comics, I would 100% buy the book to support the artist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny beyond words. But 4 drawn panels can do it.

I normally don’t buy books of short web comics, but Poorly Drawn Lines is special. The perfect type of humor for me. Goofy, characters I somehow identify with in a three or four panel comic, and Ernesto.

4.0 out of 5 stars The comics are amazing
Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2017
Verified Purchase
I like the dark but simple comics in Reza's POORLY DRAWN LINES. The humor and oddball situations mix beautifully with the straightforward art style, which is absolutely the right choice.

The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because the book description said the book was a collection of comics and essays, so I was hoping to see some of Reza sharing his creative process instead of humorous story vignettes.

Definitely an enjoyable book and I look forward to future collections.

The art is simplicity at it's finest, the scenarios are bizzare, and the wit is oh so sharp! Much to my surprise, there are several short stories and essays in this collection, and they are exquisite! Finding them as enjoyable as I did, they were a pleasant diversion from the stellar illustrated material.
