Entertaining little animal comics! I'm familiar with this series from following them online and some of them are certainly funnier than others.

Hope It All Works Out!: A Poorly Drawn Lines Collection by Reza Farazmand was a disappointment of a comics collection for me, all about some animal friends (mostly mouse, turtle, bird, and snail) pondering and dealing with life. I gave up reading at fifty percent. The drawings were fine, but I didn't find many of the panels funny or even entertaining. It kind of read like one of the boring adult comics in the Sunday paper. There were maybe two panels that I liked in the first half; I just didn't get it, I guess. Do not recommend.

Such a feel good comic book with decently funny and relatable moments.
The artwork is simple, but that just adds to the beauty of it. There is no need to over-complicate things, and this book reminds you of that.
Some of the comics start to feel a little samesy after a while if you're reading this book in one go, so maybe break the reading up a bit to retain the charm :)

Funny! What else is there to say? The jokes are fun and the characters grow on you - I always had a smile on while reading this book..

I'm looking for love - or some good food!

This was HILARIOUS

Hope it all works out like the authors other books is filled with funny comic strips drawn in a simplistic ar.t style which weirdly enough, only serves the delivery of the jokes even more :)

This sparked my interest into looking to the rest of the authors comics all of which are equally hilarious making it a perfect book for a bad day when you feel the need to laugh at something light-hearted and silly!

I loved this comic, the artwork is simple but adorable and I love all of the characters. Mouse is my favorite. This book really made me laugh and smile.

I follow this artist on Insta and was so excited to see he had this booking coming out. I am here to tell you, it is absolutely fantastic!! Some I have seen online [didn't matter, I still laughed/loved them], and many were new to me [more laughter and surprisingly, some deep thoughts about what was on the page], and honestly, this book just made me love Mouse, Bird, Turtle, and Snail [and their absurdity and hilariousness] even more than I already did and was just what I needed in my crazy life.

I highly recommend this to everyone!

Very well done.

Thank you to NetGalley, Reza Farazmand, and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Had no idea this was a hulu show until after I read it but it makes so much sense! This was so so fun!! I'm a sucker for funny cartoon animal drawings I see on socials, so a book full of them was a SLAY! Going to check out the show!

Also not pulling the Augustus Waters metaphor with Bird and his unlit cigarette!!

I really enjoyed this collection of humourous comics. The visual style and humor is engaging and readable. The characters are fun and entertaining. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

I wanted to like this book more but honestly it was just kind of blah. It is at times sarcastic and relatable to the current state of life as an adult, but I feel like the vibe of the whole book is just too low. The comics themselves would probably, and probably have done well in online posting form, however combined together as a book it just seems like to much "meh" all together without any sort of uplifting interlude.
Also, something about the random inclusion of the black bird having a cigarette in their mouth kind of threw me off. There seemed no rhyme or reason to it.

My partner and I are always sending the poorly drawn lines comics to each other. I love that there is this collection now as well for people to enjoy. These comics are so hilarious and relatable for all the burnt out millennials out there, and I will never tire of them. Definitely recommend checking this one out, especially on a tough day!

This was a new kind of genre for me, and I really enjoyed it. In my world where everything is so serious and straightforward it was so fun to unwind and laugh with this book of the comic “Poorly Drawn Lines”. It was the unique humor that I love and enjoy. If you need a book to just forget the world and laugh this is it. My type of humor for sure. I think you will enjoy it as much as I did!

I don't follow much on Instagram, but I follow Poorly Drawn Lines. I love these cartoons, and unsurprisingly loved this book. No notes.

Hope It All Works Out! is a collection of short comics surrounding Mouse, Turtle, Bird and Snail who have mostly sarcastic humorous conversations.

I expected a more wholesome comic than sarcastic. However, I still snickered along. See my favourites below.

"Hope It All Works Out" is a hilarious and endearing collection of Reza Farazmand’s *Poorly Drawn Lines* comics, featuring Mouse, Bird, Turtle, and Snail in their absurdly humorous escapades. With their blend of good-natured sarcasm and surprising warmth, this book is a perfect treat for comic lovers, offering both new laughs and beloved hits from the webcomic and FX series.

I've followed Poorly Drawn Lines on Instagram for years now, so I was excited to read this and it did not disappoint. Reza's comics are funny and relatable, and I enjoyed this collection of new material and old favorites. It's a great light read and I can see it being a fun book to flip through now and again.

A funny and cute read. One for anyone to read.

Had many funny moments through out.

Quick and easy to read.

The artwork I thought was very simplistic and I enjoyed that it made understanding what was happening visually in each panel very easy to enjoy. Where it lost it for me was that a lot of the jokes fell flat and I almost felt like I didn't understand what the author was trying to say in each panel. There's one page that talks about a bird standing in a pile of trash saying that it needed more and so another character approaches him saying you should get a hat then he gets a hat and he said it didn't add anything to it then the bird says will you made me pay $600 for a hat. It's feel like it went nowhere and the joke was pointless. I didn't understand was the joke that the bird picked $600 for the hat or that it was a bird with a hat. A lot of these jokes felt like that. They would build up to something and then fall flat and I wouldn't understand what was funny about the situation.

I've enjoyed the Poorly Drawn Comics on Instagram for years now, and seeing a comic collection getting published made me so happy.

I really like the humor of it all and the simplicity of the art style works really well with it. That said, I wish there were some more lengthy comics in this book. Like, a more storyline forward mini adventure to differentiate the book from the online comics.

But in any case, this was a great collection and a fun, quick read.

Thank you Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book. These opinions are completely my own

I I'm a trash pile bird and and no one can tell me differently. These characters are very entertaining, funny and yet relatable.
