Another winner from Reza Farazmand, featuring the usual cast of both human and animal snarky characters. While the comics don't typically follow an ongoing storyline, you do get to know the personalities of each, which gives the strips some depth. (I probably identify with Kevin the pigeon a little too much.) Thanks for the galley!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this eARC!

This would be a perfect book for a coffee table - not necessarily one that you’d read in one setting but one that you could enjoy a few pages at a time. The comics were simple, clean, cute, and entertaining reflecting a variety of situations and feelings.

I was not enjoying this one and was not able to finish it, so I am unable to fully give a review. While I understand much of this was meant to be humorous, it just came off too strongly in some places.

Minimalistic existentialist comics is how I would define these comics.
A lot of them make you smile; this smile is sometimes a wide grin and sometimes an existentially painful one with a touch of bitterness on it left side (and maybe even right side too).

These short but simple comics are endlessly entertaining. Each character as simple as they are still have so much character (if that makes sense.)

The one panel comics are funny but the ones with arc/more story are pretty darn hilarious too.

If you need a fast funny read, then check this book out ASAP.

This isn’t the kind of book that you would sit down and binge read fully. But it’s the kind of book that you can leave around on a coffee table, to pick up and flip through when the mood takes you. I did have a few of the pages that hit me hard enough to laugh out loud.

The simplicity of the line drawings make is soothing and simple to read. It is nice to have a comic that is a low sensory experience.

This book was a collection of comic strip-esque shorts that will definitely make you chuckle. So simple, but so good at giving a good laugh! I would love to see more of this author's work.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the opportunity to read an Advanced Reader's Copy (ARC) in exchange for my honest opinion/review.

"Hope It All Works Out!" is a fun read. It can be much deeper than a quick read to an over-thinker. The art is simple but it is clean and consistent. If you have a minimalist in your life, you can make them feel conflicted by giving them a copy of this book.

This comic collection features animals who represent human situations and feelings. The comics struck me as reflective of the times that we live in, meaning that a kind of gentle/sarcastic humor is taken from challenges of daily life and existence. These are comics for an adult audience. The title seems to perfectly reflect the book’s content.

An example to give a flavor of the comics. In this one, titled Your Issues, the characters comment on Denial, Acceptance and Exuberance. If this appeals or if the author is known to a reader, this book could be a good choice.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for this title. All opinions are my own.

This was by an Insta comic who does observational humor in art form. It had really funny ones (History of Humans), and not so funny ones too, but overall was a seriously fun read.

So entirely my kind of humor | I was grinning my fool head off at so many, and then "I don't know you, man. I've got no context for your issues" just really got me, and I laughed over that and startled the cat. I know so many people who would love this, and I might need to go follow on social media. Until now I've just enjoyed when the comics randomly appeared in my feed. Not for youngsters, but older teens with a wry perspective on the world would appreciate it.

ARC provided free of charge, which did not impact my review

ahHH this was so cute! I really enjoyed reading all the little comics, but I feel like the humorous aspect just didn't "hit" so it was a bit like if we were on social media, "yeah, it was nice" but I wouldn't follow if that makes sense?

"Poorly Drawn Lines" is a web comic series that is quite well known by frequent users of the internet (especially on instagram and Tumblr).

Despite the name, the panel comics feature neatly drawn creatures that grow on the reader.
With a lot of sarcasm and irony, Reza Farazmand hits the nerve of many readers (maybe especially millennials). It's easy to identify with the weird characters and their weirder minds, and despite some of the comics leaving a bitter trail, they are usually laugh-out-loud material as well.
A technique mastered by the millennial generation.

Love the collection of comics in this book - a great adition to the comic book shelves out there.

This graphic novel appeals to people who love dry humor with an ironic tone. While I did laugh at a couple of the comedic segments, overall I feel like this book didn't quite align with my sense of humor. However, if you are looking for a lighthearted, relatable and sarcastic comic book, this is it!

I really enjoyed this book of short, witty comic strips. The jokes are definitely approaching 'dad joke' territory but each of them made me laugh and I thought this book was very entertaining. The comic strips themselves are adorable and I liked that the illustration style was quite simple. The drawing style coupled with the fact that there are limited words on a page made this very inviting to read and easy to get through. I think if I were to buy this in a physical format it would be the kind of book that I would dip in and out of if I needed a pick me up rather than reading it from cover to cover.

Overall this is a great book and I find it very amusing!

I remember all of Reza’s comics that would appear on my explore/home page on Instagram and would laugh so hard at them. They’re honestly so good!

A whole book full of them though? Amazing. Definitely my favourite comic by far.
I love how relatable every single one of them are (but also hate how relatable they are too lol).

Absolutely hilarious!Obsessed with this! These comics had me laughing out loud for hours. They combine lovable characters and hilarious dialogue. I loved how easy it was to relate to the comics as well. There were so many that I read and audibly said “THATS LITERALLY ME”. I will be purchasing a physical copy of this for sure !!!

This is my all-time favourite comic. If I could, I would have one of those electronic picture frames at my desk, but instead of photos of my family, it flips through PDL comics.

This was a very cute comic series. I have followed the author online for some time and always enjoyed the comic strips published. I thought that this was a great collection that would satisfy long time followers and new readers of this comic! The humor was just perfect for me and I loved the recurring cast of characters.

Hope It All Works Out! is a collection of comics featuring the lovable, charming, and relatable characters, Mouse, Bird, Turtle, and Snail. As a fan of Poorly Drawn Lines comics already, I loved this collection for its great sarcastic humour and invitation to not take life too seriously all the time. Even if some jokes might normally elicit groans (a la dad jokes), somehow they work well in the comic format. The artwork is fun and quirky, suiting the stories that they convey. This was pleasure to read and something to look forward to at the end of a busy day. Thank you to Andrews McMeel Publishing for a complimentary eARC in exchange for an honest review.
