Leaving Richard's Valley by Michael DeForge

4.0

Usually I go to Michael Deforge to feel a stunning sense of body horror, dread, dystopian absurdism, and an ever-expanding style of art. But this is a lot more straightforward than his usual work. What I found instead here was something that made me smile wider than anything has in a while. Something that is instantly quotable and matches it’s cynical view of city life with so much hope. I was never at quite the right place or time to flip through a Calvin & Hobbes book front to back and feel like it was for me but I imagine this is what that would feel like.
