Reza Farazmand is widely recognized for his internet comic series Poorly Drawn Lines (PDL), which he both writes and illustrates. His comics are known for their satirical and absurdist humor, often featuring themes such as space travel, supernatural occurrences, science fiction, friendship, and existentialism. Farazmand's work does not usually require familiarity with an overarching storyline, offering mostly standalone strips that range from single to multiple frames. However, some ongoing story arcs and notable recurring characters like Ernesto, a green bear who resides in outer space, do exist within the PDL universe.
Farazmand's success extends beyond his webcomic, having achieved the status of a New York Times-bestselling author. His literary portfolio includes the graphic novel City Monster and the comic and essay collection titled Poorly Drawn Lines: Good Ideas and Amazing Stories. Subsequent follow-ups include Comics for a Strange World and Poorlier Drawn Lines. His unique comedic voice has also found a place in various notable platforms such as McSweeney's Internet Tendency, Adventure Time comics, Buzzfeed, NPR, and Comedy Central. Farazmand continues to create and live out of Los Angeles, where he draws and brings his unique perspective to life through his creations.
