(Genetically Elevated Person)? If you’re mild-mannered slacker GREG PINCUS, you cave to the pressure put upon you by your Mother, your (new) friends, and your opportunistic roommate BARRY… and live the lie!

Last issue, blurry after a long night of male bonding with The Mighty, a G-Man, and two bottles of straight scotch, Greg agreed to be photographed for a spread in Super Illustrated magazine. But when he arrived at the studio, Greg discovered that he was to be featured in the publication’s “body” issue -- and shot bare-assed naked.

Meanwhile, Desiree discovered a voicemail left by drunken Greg, disinviting her to be his date to the People’s Choice Awards. And Greg’s brother, Frederick, experienced a tipping point in his frustration with what he KNOWS to be Greg’s subterfuge...
