The Man show: At SBC, Tim O'Shea talks to Jeffrey Brown about Be A Man, the parody of his own graphic novel, Clumsy:

"Well, a lot of the criticism around Clumsy seemed to deal with not the book, but with me and my behavior. Because I'm too sensitive. And so I was thinking, well, what would I do differently to be more manly exactly? How did these people want me to act? So I just re-wrote some of the stories to kind of work out this frustration, question these people's assumed social constructs of expected behavior and gender roles. Plus, it was funny."
