Created to poke fun of the absurdity of our world, Comics for a Strange World aims to poke fun at modern life and humanity.  Unfortunately, instead of being funny, it gets rather depressing. I like the comic style but the comic's tone is beak. There are a few that are smart and humorous. While I never laughed out loud, I was highly amused by a handful. I also liked the length. So many books of comics ends before you really even get started. 
Over all, I was underwhelmed by this selection of comics.

I read some of the comics twice to try and figure out what I was missing. I find most things funny including things that aren't supposed to be, yet I didn't even feel the beginning of a smile while reading this book. I tried really hard. Sorry, this one wasn't for me. 

I received a copy of this graphic novel from NetGalley (thank you very much to NetGalley and Plume Books, Penguin Group for the opportunity) in exchange for honest feedback.

I was having a bad day, got an email saying I was approved to read this so I downloaded to read it on my way to college. Immediately changed my mood.

I want to thank Raza Farazmand for creating this piece because it is witty, smart, and hilarious. It simply has it all.
I strongly recommend it, what is more, this should be a mandatory reading for everyone. 
LOL in public transportation guaranteed.

Alas, I just don't get it. A few pages made me chuckle, but overall, not my sense of humor. There's still something here for those who are into more dry, dry humor. I thought my humor was dry, but my humor is the center of a Boston cream donut compared to this. There's kind of a... hipster irony humor to it? It's the kind of humor that might make you exhale a little louder than normal through your nose, or raise your eyebrow for a sec, but not enough to elicit any genuine laughter.

Talented author. Funny comics. I liked it very much.

While this is not my type of humor, and there seems to be no real ebb and flow to the comics within, it was an okay read.  The strips were divided into major groupings which helped, but it is a very dry sense of humor.  Fans of Dilbert will enjoy these strips.

Third of the way through - not even tittered, or thought about comedy.  This is seriously dire, and has NOTHING to say.

You've probably seen Reza Farazmand's Poorly Drawn Lines comics online while scrolling through social media. His absurdist humor and world observations are coming now back to book form in the new collection Comics for a Strange World. In this world, bears and ducks have moments of existential crisis.  My particular favorite series has to do with forcing a pet cat to get a job or move out of the house in tough times. Yeah, it's that kind of absurd. There's another that involves the "live fast, die young" lives of kitchen appliances.

Comics for a Strange World features some of the most popular comics from Poorly Drawn Lines over the past year, as well as 50% new content. Even if you've read every comic on the Poorly Drawn Lines website, you will find something new in this collection.

Comics for a Strange World is available October 24, 2017 from Plume Books.

I hadn't been familiar with this comic series before-- but you can bet I will be now. Existential and surreal and hilarious. I laughed out loud several times while perusing it. Great set of characters and rings true for a millennial with a bit of ennui.

Fun illustrations and dead pan humor. A fun stocking filler or gift book

Great for fans of Poorly Drawn Lines, a humorous and ironic look at humanity.

This is a wonderful selection of comics from "Poorly Drawn Lines," all of which will bring plenty of laughs thanks to the comic's very unique blend of deadpan deliveries, its incredibly peculiar perspectives on some of the most mundane aspects of life, and non-stop absurdity in all shapes and forms.
