This might be the first comic book or graphic novel I’ve done a review on. I don’t remember when I first discovered Jeffrey Brown, but his little stories give me the greatest nostalgia for my youth. Every time I read one of his books I am taken back to when I was in my late teens and early twenties. His stories are cute, but also sad. I see a lot of similarities between some of the relationships he has had and some that I have been in. These books make me smile and sigh.
I love that he is a published author and an artist but his art is simple, almost childish. I don’t know if he does it on purpose or if that is truly the way he draws, but his imperfect style makes the story more relatable. Here you see a man struggling through a relationship, and the sloppy linework makes anyone without a trace of artist talent feel almost comforted through the imperfections. This is very short, I read the entirety of it during one of my lunch breaks. However, it is something that I would read again and I will be keeping this adorable pocket sized book. I need to find the rest of my collection and add to it, there will always be a time and place in my life for these stories.
