Gates of Plasma

“If you’ve got a grievance with reality, I reckon you’re in the right place.”

“This is a look at our beautiful, abject world, with all of its delights and degradations, filtered through the mind of one of the funniest, most inventive cartoonists alive.”

The only person who writes funnier comics than Carlos is Olivier Schrauwen. What a blessing to have this massive work! Now if we could just get a Slime Freak compendium... Buy this book so Floating World can keep it up! Deeply influenced by trashy VHS horror and daytime melodrama with a Lynchian penchant for the absurd and Cronenbergian sense of corporeality. There is no one else like Carlos making comics.

An odd upsetting comic about pharmaceutical conspiracies, art making, love and altered realities. I thoroughly enjoyed feeling disturbed while reading this.

If you can get your hands on this I highly, highly recommend it. Contains itself and its own principles and dreams... Idk really special
