jeffrey brown is the man (even if he has trouble with the ladies)

A while ago when I posted about some of my favorite comics, someone (who were you?) suggested I check out Jeffrey Brown.  Now, I'd like to suggest him to all of you.  I read both Clumsy and Unlikely and liked both, but LOVED Clumsy.  I especially love the way Jeff captures expression in such a simple way.  Clumsy is the story of a long distance relationship between Jeff and Theresa and Unikely is the story of how Jeff lost his virginity.  There are some scenes in Clumsy that are so sweet that I think they would make a lovely wedding gift, even if the relationship fails in the end.  Now I need to read Be A Man, which is the more manly version of the story of Clumsy (apparently Jeff got a lot of slack for being sensitive, don't know why as it was this quality that made me like the book) and Any Easy Intimacy, the most recent book about Jeff's problems with relationships.  Perfect summer reading...I can't wait to hit the NYC comic book shops.

Don't forget to read "big head" if you got the chance. It's his best work ....after "clumsy", ofcourse

Thanks for the Jeffrey Brown suggestion and also the time traveler's wife you left on my blog. I had never heard of them. Cheers!
