First Year Healthy

In this single-issue comic from Drawn & Quarterly, Michael DeForge presents a surreal, off-kilter vision of wellness and self-improvement. First Year Healthy (2015) follows a character navigating the bizarre, often unsettling landscape of modern health culture, rendered in DeForge's signature psychedelic and grotesque style. It stands as a sharp, compact exploration of the strange rituals and anxieties that accompany the pursuit of a "healthy" life.
