false 6220815 1 <I>Funny Misshapen Body</i> 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.<P>Drawn with Brown's scratchy, spare, trademark style, <I>Funny Misshapen Body</i> 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.<P>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. 6401514 7 4 2009 Funny Misshapen Body: A Memoir total:114|5:34|4:56|3:22|2:2|1:0| 114 464 150 27 4 9 false false Sun Apr 05 09:17:26 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 05 09:24:21 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Aug 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 11:50:58 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 12:04:40 -0700 2009
