This is a graphic novel collection of strips - mostly sarcastic, adult humor about life. Mouse, Bird, Turtle, and Snail are the characters and best described, they would be Mouse - Main character, Bird is the angry one, turtle is the stoner friend, and snail is that friend that is rude and annoying and you are friends but not sure why.

The overall feel and coloration felt just meh to me. It was clever and funny at times for sure but it felt a little draggy even for short strips. Maybe it was hitting too close to real life/ real world for my liking. Not sure.

The strips that I liked:
Notebooks bring too good to use/ write in. "Too good for my thoughts" Painful realization yea, but also so truuuuue sometimes.
A break from messing things up - just want to "work in my garden , do some reading" THIS... ALL THE TIME PLS.
Devil's advocate - "an a-hole but for intellectual purposes" made me giggle.
Overall, Just ok, I liked the pastel colors but was a little bored and jaded by the time I got to the end. Mouse really wasn't a character I wanted to 'win' or suceed, he was just there. It was illustrated well enough but nothing mindblowing. That said, if you are looking for overly sarcastic and kinda dark... this is it.

These comics were totally relatable and super funny! I've watched the Poorly Drawn Lines show before, so I'm familiar with the characters and the humor.

I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a fun read, especially if you like jokes about "adulting" problems and our existence.

Thank you to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Poorly Drawn Lines is one of my favorite comics of all time, and this collection did not disappoint.

Reza Farazmand‘s comics have been popular on social media for a while, so if you’re familiar with his work, this book is exactly what you’d expect! The comics are adorable, amusing, and feature all the characters we’ve grown familiar with over the years.

So cute and fun! I love seeing these comics on social media and this was a great collection. I feel a spiritual connection to Mouse

Wonderful.

Cute, quirky, made me smile ☺️ And the simple illustrations fit so well with the style of writing.

I'm in love with all of the characters. I hope we get to see some more of Ghost! 👻

Loved it.

Five out of Five Stars. This book was adorable and I really loved the artwork. Thank you for the ARC!

I have always loved comics so this was a fun read for me. It was a good break from traditional reading. Cute and. Silly.

I quite enjoyed this funny collection of comics. The juxtaposition of the animals and some of the things they said was unexpected and definitely added to the humor. It also helped that some of the things said were relatable in a very humorous way. I've definitely had similar thoughts.

As usual with a comic, there was no overarching story, just a collection of thoughts and conversations. All in all, a very good read.

3.5 Star

A Poorly Drawn Lines on social media. I find those comics fun and hilarious. So I was naturally excited to read this comic.

This comic depicts interactions between a mouse, a crow, a turtle, and a snail, with other animals making appearances. They humorously discuss their lives.

This comic is hilarious yet very relatable and gives different messages. It was a quick read.

The artwork is simple yet colourful and vibrant.

Overall, it was a fun read.

Who knew that I would have so much in common with a "poorly drawn" mouse? I am mouse and mouse is me and let me tell you there is not a single line that was drawn poorly in this collection of comics! I adore the simplicity because it still shows so much about these animals. They have so much relatable sass! Please do yourself a favor and read this!

I read this book in an afternoon and it was a great way to pass a couple of hours.

I loved the little sections and the illustrations were perfect.

It was a bit quirky in places, sad, happy, a full range of feelings covered too

Really enjoyed this one and it is 4 stars from me!

Farazmand's brand of absurdist humour is on full display in this delightful collection of comics. With their trademark minimalist style, Farazmand effortlessly explores modern life, from the perils of small talk to the existential dread of the daily grind. Simultaneously silly and profound, this is obviously is a must-read for fans of Poorly Drawn Lines.

This book was such a hoot! I needed a good laugh. The simple illustration and the sarcasm associated with it was hilarious. "Mouse", was such an icon. I relate on a personal level. Personally, I think there's a potential of shirts being printed with some of the one-liners in the books. Thank you to the Author, Publisher and Netgalley for giving me an opportunity to review this book :)

A great collection of all too relatable comics.
In my heart of hearts, I may be a crow smoking a cigarette.

"Hope It All Works Out" by Reza Farazmand is a witty and relatable collection of comics that perfectly captures the humor and absurdity of everyday life. Farazmand's unique style and clever observations make this a fun and enjoyable read. A must-have for fans of dark, dry humor.

I enjoyed this collection of comics, and it was really nice to get to know some of the main / recurring characters who appeared in various comics.

At times I struggled with the lack of a cohesive storyline, but once I got used to the fact that each page was a single "story" per set, I enjoyed it a lot more.

The illustrations were simple, yet beautifully done.

Overall, a definite recommendation!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an advance ebook copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you so much for letting me read this comic book. These are such fun, heartwarming comics. I think everyone will find at least on story that they can relate to.

This was hilarious. I loved the simple art style and how each character conveyed emotion. Bird is my favourite!

This was a super quick and fun read!

A series of comics featuring a mouse, a snail, a crow and a turtle who question their places in the world.

This compilation of comics was hit or miss for me. Some of the jokes are quite funny, but others seemed a bit repetitive. As always, your mileage may vary.
