My Brain is Hanging Upside Down

Heatley's book is a memoir in comic form. He covers some big topics: sex, race, mother, father, family tree, and fatherhood, and although he is oftentimes brutally revealing about his own life, the mixture of humor and honestly keeps the book from drifting too far into either "big themes" or navel gazing territory.

This is a really great comic book. It's funny, revealing and embarrassing. I loved it! It really is an illustrated look inside a person's thought process. The book breaks down into the author's sex history, race (every relationship he has ever had with a black person), and kin (comics about his mother, father, distant relatives and kids).

Seemed a bit juvenile and shallow.
