Very Casual

In this singular, oversized comic from Koyama Press, Michael DeForge presents a sprawling, off-kilter vision of suburban ennui and surreal transformation. Very Casual (2013) follows a cast of characters navigating bizarre social dynamics and bodily oddities, rendered in DeForge's distinctive, intricate linework and acidic color palette. A standalone work from one of the defining alternative cartoonists of the 2010s, it crystallizes his early fascination with mundane horror and weird beauty.
