If the Raindrops United

A book of ingenious comic drawings from the popular thirty Rock star and “World Champion” comedian hailed by Tina Fey as “one of the all-time great weirdos.”

Most Americans know Judah Friedlander from his role as Frank Rossitano on thirty Rock and from appearances in films like American Splendor and The Wrestler. But long before he became a film and TV star and stand-up comic Friedlander drew stuff.

Now, in this quirky, hilarious, and surprisingly profound collection of drawings, Friedlander shows a different 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.

“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

“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

“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.” —Dave Attell
