Josh Head
A math professor at a Sydney university discovers his highest achieving pupil has mathematically proved he’s a gigantic loser. Now with only a fortnight before it will be made public at a school award ceremony, he attempts to win the affections of his students, peers and a seemingly unmerciful opposite sex.In the vein of Justin Green's, Binky Brown Meets The Holy Virgin Mary, Head has created a highly autobiographical work about his extreme fears and obvious flaws during his emergence onto the dating scene in his 20s. Raw, obsessed and crude., Head's confessional frankness is pain, inked onto the page, though through it all, humour prevails and he entertains us adequately. This story reveals the truth behind those self proclaimed “Nice Guys” out there. We’ve all met them, and if you’re a woman, you’ve definitely grown tired of their behaviour. These unconfident, slimy losers will use all of their wit to trick a pretty girl into liking them. They’ll do lots of favours, pretending to be a friends, all the while, trying to get a girlfriend the only way they know how… By manipulating women, and sulking when they don’t get what they want. In this extra colourful and highly imaginative graphic novel, Head takes us on a unique journey through the eyes of a “Nice Guy”, as he learns all about what he’s been doing wrong in the dating world, and how he can better himself. 3
