Cartoons & comic strips

From New York Times bestselling author/artist Reza Farazmand comes a new collection of sardonic, absurdist comics about friendship, foes, unexplained mysteries, and living in the age of technology.

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

Absurd comics for our absurd times, from the artist behind the wildly popular webcomic Poorly Drawn Lines-the perfect gift for comic book fans!

In his follow up to the New York Times bestselling Poorly Drawn Lines, beloved webcomic artist Reza Farazmand returns with a collection of comics that hilariously skewers our modern age. Comics for a Strange World takes readers through time, space, and alternate realities, reuniting fans with favorite characters and presenting them with even more bizarre scenarios. A child is arrested for plagiarism. A squirrel adapts to human society by purchasing a cell phone-and a gun. And an old man shares memories of the Internet with his granddaughter (""A vast network of millions of idiots. Together, the idiots created endless shitty ideas. It was a true renaissance of shit.""). In the world of Poorly Drawn Lines, nothing is too weird or too outlandish for parody.
