Kliban! I think this book will probably fix the world.”—Tina Fey “An exercise in brilliant efficiency. One of the funniest and most insightful books ever drawn.” —J.J. Abrams “Some people meditate. Some people masturbate. But if you don’t have the time or patience for either of those, I recommend reading If The Raindrops United to calm down, have a little laugh or a big think.”—Susan Sarandon “Judah’s drawings are deceptively simple, yet they become more compelling with every page. His talent as an actor/writer/comedian is further conveyed in ANOTHER medium. He’s a Quadruple Threat. He wears many hats. Literally.”—Janeane Garofalo “I’ve known Judah for many years and I still don’t understand how his mind works, but it sure works. Seriously strange. Seriously funny. A national treasure. Sadly, I need to get a restraining order against him.”
—Paul Giamatti “Underneath his World Champion hat, Judah Friedlander is the owner/operator of a wildly creative and thought-provoking brain.”
—Wyatt Cenac "Judah thank you for writing a funny twisted book. It is such an easy read. Even dum dums like me can enjoy it!!! Buy this book."
