Meh! I read it to almost completion; about 70% in. The humor is very tumblr-esque. The lines are predictably poorly drawn. The pets are assholes, the people are assholes, and sometimes even the inanimate objects are assholes. The humor is funny for the first three panels and then you realize that it relies on people not expecting everyone to be an asshole and getting surprised at everyone being an asshole. Perhaps I see patterns faster than others, perhaps the author is an asshole, but it stopped being funny really fast. Also, this one is difficult to read in a kindle format.

Well Drawn Lines: Decent Ideas and Okay Stories.
But I like the artist's confidence.

And some of the jokes, while seemingly lacking punchlines, made me laugh.

I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.


An honest, quirky collection of comics that just somehow gets you. Animals and robots help you to understand the meaning(lessness) of life in this dark collection that will make you laugh, smile, and nod in understanding.

I received an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a really fun book! I enjoyed all the cute and funny comics. The art style of this book was perfect for me. I sped through this book and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quick book to cheer them up!

Well this wasn't a bad read. It had fun bits but I can't say I enjoyed this as much as I hoped.

Bottom line: The lines weren't poorly drawn, the ideas were decent but the stories weren't that amazing...

Poorly Drawn Lines
4/5 stars

I've already loved these comics from seeing them on Instagram and Pinterest. So yes, I already knew I loved the humor and art style.

BUT, what surprised me was the long prose and random paragraphs featured.
It was all fantastic.

Would recommend.
