Jeffrey’s an ‘alt / indie’ genre cartoonist. For my money his work is earthy, patient and visually-appealing, and often centers on the whimsies of young angst, young love, and early parenthood (as here).

Based on what I’ve read, he’s not particularly cutting or edgy the way that his colleagues are (let’s say people like Peter Bagge, Chester Brown and Noah Van Sciver), but he’s got a certain low-key easy humor and observational eye on urban humanity that you might enjoy.

    Haha, you really just said “I don’t know, google it”.
    The style reminded me of James Kochalka’s work, and then I saw the collaborative art for the interview between them.

      Casey, that’s really not necessary. I have some books of his, but it would take me a while to go through them and create a collection of material I thought worth sharing. Indeed, that’s already what I do for my ‘day job’ of running EGN. But Brown in this case isn’t Euro, so I simply wanted to share a good funny of his that I’d saved at some point and happened to bump in to last tonight.

      Google Images isn’t specific to any one site, but I’ve found that’s it’s a modest but very good way to quickly share samples. One which always stays current to boot, as opposed to direct links.

      Sorry if I sound irritable here, but when I’m doing my best to share something of quality… even taking the time to write up a little mini-introduction on top, well… I’m not a big fan of being nitpicked over this or that.

        You focused too hard on the gentle teasing and ignored the genuine attempt at making a connection.
        I clicked on the link hoping for the artist’s website, somewhere I could read more of his works in a deliberate order (a deliberation, it should be noted, that I am not demanding of you). I liked the one that you shared and wanted to read more. I know how to use search engines (and certainly would not have chosen google for it).
        You shared something of quality but then did something that made me feel tricked. Not something I’m demonizing you for, but I did choose to engage instead of ignore.

          Okay, let me get this straight-- you saw that it was a google images link, clicked on it, then felt “tricked” that it didn’t automagically take you to some ideal destination floating around in your head?

          Okay, well I’m sorry you felt that way. I usually use google images to quickly bring up samples when I don’t have something specific in mind. What search engine would you prefer, DDG or SearXNG, perhaps?

          Note that I also provided the WP link, and I would think the rest is easy enough for most people to follow up on their own, given all that.

          Again, I’m sorry if I sound irritable here, but my CFS/ME leaves me in a constant state of fatigue and pain, especially when I’ve been sitting for over 5min, trying to type up a post to share, with my lower back killing me with every passing minute. The problem with trying to type from my usual position (lying down in my coach/bed) is that I’m not a touch-typist, and am constantly fumbling around, making errors, and getting frustrated.

          Good critique is always welcome, and I’d like to think I have a sense of humor, but yeah… I can’t say I’m really in to the whole “teasing” thing, matey. In any case, thanks for trying to make a connection, eh?
