A stand-up comic and actor, Friedlander appeared in "American Splendor" and is best known for his work in "30 Rock." But he’s not just a multi-talented performer — Friedlander has written the karate primer, How to Beat Up Anybody, and he’s been drawing since he was a child. His new collection of artwork and cartoons, If the Raindrops United: Drawings and Cartoons, showcases the visual side of Friedlander’s wit and humor as he takes subjects both serious and silly to new heights of absurdity.
