comics/humor. I'm new to this author, but got some good laughs out of this. ( )

My review of this book can be found on my Youtube Vlog at:

Enjoy! ( )

Amusing and satirical observations about the world by various animals, humans, ghosts, objects and spacemen. ( )

Not quite as strong as the first volume, but still hilarious as hell. ( )

Welcome to sideways world.

(Full disclosure: I received a free electronic ARC for review through NetGalley and Edelweiss.)

If you've ever read Reza Farazmand's web comic Poorly Drawn Lines, then you know more or less what you're in for here: irreverent humor, a dash of commonsense observations, and just the right about of black comedy.

Comics for a Strange World is a bit hit-or-miss; a equal number of the pieces had me guffawing in happy shock as did those that stumbled and fell flat. A fair number seem a direct response to this crazy, heart-wrenching Drumpf era we now find ourselves in; see, e.g., the opening panel, which is the first of five favorites I included below.

But don't worry: Ernesto the talking bear and his duck sidekick Kevin make several appearances, and this strange world is also populated with a fair number of talking animals, self-aware ghosts - and even a dinosaur packing heat. ("It's his right.")

Try it! You won't be sorry, and you just might help Ernesto out of that slump.
