Funny Misshapen Body by Jeffrey Brown
Funny Misshapen Body is the story of Jeffrey Brown's evolution as a cartoonist, from his youthful obsession with superhero comics to his disillusionment with fine art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Drawn with Brown's scratchy, spare, trademark style, Funny Misshapen Body resonates with true-to-life observations on love, fear, and ambition. Through his bare bones graphic style, he reveals his most embarrassing personal moments in raw, intimate detail -- including how he survived high school, binge drinking, mild drug experimentation, doomed friendships, and being diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Ultimately coming to terms with his art and identity, Brown describes the ups and downs of his adolescence with understated simplicity, dark humor, and charm.
Jeffrey Brown is the critically acclaimed author of Clumsy, Unlikely, AEIOU, I Am Going to be Small, Bighead, and Little Things. He has been featured in Best American Comics, McSweeney's, and Mome, as well as on This American Life.
