POORLY DRAWN LINES

With over 500,000 unique visitors to the website (who look at 7 million pages a month), and 400,000 followers on Facebook, growing at a rate of about 20,000 to 30,000 per week, POORLY DRAWN LINES has turned into a full-time job for Farazmand, who began drawing the comic in college and now posts updates three times a week.

Love, social acceptance, and robots for fans of What If? and Hyperbole and a Half. Poorly Drawn Lines collects 150 of the best comics and features about 50 percent exclusive, new content that is guaranteed to tickle reader's funny bone with the tip of a knife, laughing like a maniac. Featur- ing twisted recurring characters like Ernesto the Space Bear, Astronaut Bill, and Jacques Cousteau, readers across the world tune-in every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for a laugh (in much the same way that readers of newspapers used to flip to the funny pages to see the latest "The Far Side" comic from Gary Larson). Reza Farazmand lives and draws in San Francisco. He start- ed making Poorly Drawn Lines in college, where the comic first appeared as a weekly strip in the University of Califor- nia San Diego's student newspaper.
