Poorly Drawn Lines comes to us from Reza Farazmand of poorlydrawnlines.com. Reza draws and publishes his work three times a week. I'm always impressed when people can be consistently creative! I'm not sure how long Reza has been writing his web comic, but from what I could find,on his website, it's at least 3 years. I've never heard of this web comic before, but from what I read in his new, upcoming book, I've been missing out on some funny stuff!
Reza's new book is a compilation of some of the content already up on his website, plus new comics and stories. His book is, perhaps not surprisingly, a quick read. It made me smile and chuckle. I didn't laugh out loud much, but I was consistently amused by the comics and stories. The comic below is an example of one of the comics in the book, which is also on his website, that is among my favorites! There were also quite a few of them that I thought I'd love to put as my background on my desktop, since they would make me smile every time I saw them.
While I was reading this book, I couldn't help but draw some comparisons between his humor and that of comedian Demetri Martin. That mostly had to do with the stories, as they reminded me of Martin's book that I recently read. I think if you are a fan of Demetri Martin's comedy, you will definitely enjoy this. I gave Poorly Drawn Lines a 3 out of 5 stars!
