Reza Farazmand draws comics and writes things at Poorly Drawn Lines (PDL). PDL's Wikipedia page is ridiculous, mostly because it's accurate, so I'm going to post the whole thing here. "Poorly Drawn Lines features mostly standalone comic strips that range from just one frame to many, most of which are satirical or absurdist in tone. The topic of each strip varies, with recurring themes including space travel, supernatural occurrences, science fiction, friendship, and existentialism. Most strips are conclusive and able to be read without any previous knowledge of storyline; however, the comic also contains some ongoing story arcs, along with recurring characters such as Ernesto, a green bear who lives in outer space." Reza sat down to chat with us about growing his comic from a hobby to full time work, the marketing that goes into each strip, Plagiarism in the online world, political cartoons, and the graphic novel that's been intimidating him for years.
