"In this quirky, hilarious, and surprisingly profound collection of drawings, Friedlander shows a new side to his "terrifically entertaining" (New York Times) comedy. Whether imagining George Washington in Las Vegas, plastic surgery for imperfect triangles, and the Keystone Pipeline as a sex act, Friedlander's "Joodles" push boundaries as they explore the absurdities of American life, sex, and even history and human rights. If the Raindrops United is a milestone in the career of one of America's most inventive comedians."--provided by Amazon.com.

This book made me laugh out loud (by myself, in public). There is something incredibly refreshing and funny about the blunt honesty of very simple drawings. In this way it reminded me of Hyperbole and a Half.
It differs, however, because it reflects more on society and the world as a whole. I don't know the author from his stand up or acting, but I found his drawings to be very bright, and can't wait to show them to others.
