I love these comics so much. They're so bizarre, and sometimes you have to sit for a couple of seconds to let the joke kick in, and I think that's what I enjoy about them the most.
A really fun collection of funny.

'Comics for a Strange World: A Book of Poorly Drawn Lines' by Reza Farazmand is the second collection in the Poorly Drawn Lines series I've read. Either the series has gotten funnier, or my sense of humor has changed.
I reviewed the first volume of comics by this author/artist and didn't find much to laugh at. This time around, I was pleasantly surprised. The punch lines seem to hit better and are funnier. Maybe my favorite is about the guy whose beard grows longer as he imbibes stronger caffeine, until finally: tea!
The comic art is the same. Mostly droll faced humans and animals staring at the fourth wall. They are simply drawn figures, but that makes for clarity to the reader, and doesn't make them poorly drawn.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Penguin Group Blue Rider Press and Plume, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

These comics are life. Very near each one is a framer or one you'd be proud to post outside your work cubicle wall.

I got an ARC in return for an honest review on NetGalley.
I have only seen these comics on funny picture apps, but I never sat down and looked for the website. So I was pretty excited to get some in my hands. My only complaint with the book was it was so short. The introduction made it sound like there would be a lot more to it. I felt let down by the length, which usually isn’t such a big deal. This time, I needed more to be able to give it a five star. Another twenty pages is the only difference.
The comics were funny. I was laughing pretty loudly and disturbing others. I was getting quite a few dirty looks, but I couldn’t help it. These comics were very dry and very funny. They were magnificent. I am a huge fan.
Since I am not a regular reader, I couldn’t tell which were the new comics and which were the ones from the website. I am impressed when I can’t tell. Means the author has a consistent voice and drawing style

Esse foi o último livro que li no ano de 2017. Acompanho o trabalho do Reza Farazmand nas redes sociais há alguns anos, então sabia que com certeza iria gostar dessa obra.
Parte dos quadrinhos já havia sido publicada anteriormente em outros meios, mas há também muito material novo. Achei legal ler nessa época do ano, pois realmente nos faz refletir sobre a sociedade. Vemos cenas absurdas e damos risada, pois é tão real e tanta gente pode se identificar com as personagens! Dá vontade de aproveitar o ano novo que está chegando pra mudar muitos dos nossos costumes e formas de pensar. Recomendo essa leitura! :)

A simple collection of comics, this books offers a cynical, twisted, funny, and delightfully relateable view on the human experience.
