More growth from Brown as he moves away from a simple "This happened and then this happened" style of storytelling that plagues the genre of memoir comics. Too often the creators who work in this genre will simply relate a chain of events as if that's storytelling, and the human side of what's happening is forgotten, but Jeffrey does touch on emotion. I'd still like to see a bit more of it, and while I've grown accustomed to his sketchy style of art I'd like to see some growth in that area as well.
