More on Jeffrey Brown's GOOD AT PLAYING

"I started trying to write it as an essay, and thought ‘This will be fun.’ Another thing that led me to autobiographical comics, which I forget about sometimes, is a class I had in college on creative non-fiction. It was the first time I’d really encountered writing a piece that wasn’t a narrative, but was writing about things. I liked the idea of writing something in prose again, but the ideas were in my head, and when I tried to put them into words, I had to be too explicit in order to explain them. But something about doing it as a comic lets the reader bridge those parts without my having to explain them too much."
Jeffrey goes even more in-depth at his personal blog. Be sure to pick up Jeffrey's forthcoming Incredible Change-Bots Two
